8x4 Build based on plans by Joescnc Hybrid R&P

So panel is back and thanks to Jazz for the wiring diagram, my mate sorted it out a treat- a million miles better than my effort would have achieved !!
Mounted on the wall and fitted the fans to the front panel.
I added a start/stop button by mistake -actually not needed- so i'll probably turn it into a window so I can see the VFD front.
I've been told I can wire up the other things but I'm not allowed to turn it on! lol or even plug it in!!

Hi Graham your mates made a nice job of the wiring etc but you need to re-route and separate some of the wires otherwise your probably going to get false E-stops etc from back EMF.
If he's general sparky he'll not be used to dealing with machine controls where tieing or routing together signal wires with high voltage wires is a BIG No-no.

I've circled the picture where I see potential trouble areas because signal wires are tie wrapped to high voltage or too close to VFD which gives off high EMF.

So a bit more work done on the electrics
Drag chains fitted

Leaves a nice pile to sort out :)

A quick route to the control box

And then some cutting, soldering and attaching...

Still have the drives unplugged as not had the nerve to plug it in yet, need a quick recheck first.
Whats the next step ? attach to computer and switch it on ? or are there some other steps first ?
Still got to re-route some wires in case it causes issues.

Right so it's ALIVE!!
Please excuse the mess! :(

Finally gave up and bought the UCCNC software, and got all the axis jogging with the Y and A slaved :)
So I thought I'd try and setup the home limits.
Lucked out on the Z nearly first go.
Trying to set the X up- turned on pin 13 - I jogged it to the stop bolt (proximity limits) and the light came on but about 4or 5 seconds later a plume of smoke came out of the back of the limit!!
Cut off and refitted a new one- thought it may just have been dodgy … same again!
That's why I think I lucked out on the Z -I hit home and when it reaches it the light flicked on and the it backed off and went off.
Any ideas guys
The limits are PNP NO upto 36v- im using 24v- running brown to 24v ,blue to 0v and black to sensor pin on BOB

It looks like you have your breakout board plugged into port 1 of the UC300? It needs to be plugged into port 2 or 3 for everything to work.
Probably doesn't have anything to do with your smoke, though.
