Quick addition of 2.2kw spindle with VFD - Is this possible?

[Doddy]

I was expecting to get a reading of 1 with the spindle off in mach3 and 0 when turned on.
I live in Preston but my workshop is in Chorley.

A reading of 1?, okay, gonna ignore that and keep with the "always closed" statement - so the Spindle V5 card isn't actuating the CW/CCW outputs?, that sounds more like an integration issue between the SpindleV5 and the controlling PC/Mach3.

Step forward a bit to where they are working, and you couple the N/O CW output and ground between the VFD FOR and DCM pins, then set PD001 to 1 and that's your motor on/off control, and the 0-10V I think you've got working onto the VI input and set the PD001 to 1. And Bobs your uncle.

Looking at the Spindle V5 manual - this takes a Step/Dir input from a BoB - which clearly is set up okay, but it also expects a digital output from the BoB to actuate the Run control - which I'm guessing is what the Spindle V5 uses to drive either CCW or CW output relays. For that - check that the RUN input on the Spindle V5 is connected to a discrete output on the BoB, and that is bound to an output number in Mach3, and that output is specified in the Spindle Control page on Mach3. Details in the user manual. The goal here must be to get the CW relay switching.

Chorley?, 8 miles down the road. Some decent micro bars. Not far to travel. Only down side was I met my wife from there
