Hi Bernard, the spindle is a 220v 3 phase spindle and the board is a very basic VFD which converts 220v single phase to 220v 3 phase and allows speed control.
I was under the impression that it worked in manual mode but you wanted to control it using mach3. This changes things slightly because obviously if it doesn't work in manual mode it suggests some thing is wrong and therefore won't work under mach3 control even if it was possible.
So first we need to get it working in manual mode, however this could be easier said than done because it's most likely a parameter setting and without the manual then we are just guessing in the dark. If you have the manual then Zip it up and post or give us a link to it if online.
It could be the switch or a wrong connection so please take pictures of the terminals on the control board so we can see what wires are used. This will also confirm if Mach3 can control it.!
Also take pictures of the other 2 boards but concentrate on wiring and terminals. Try to take the pics so they show the terminals and where they lead, we don't need close up pictures just showing where they lead to and any markings on connectors etc.Last edited by JAZZCNC; 16-07-2020 at 11:10 AM.
-use common sense, if you lack it, there is no software to help that.
