Here's the killer for me






You can see along the top-row of the green terminals, the single black wire is connected to GND - that's your 0V reference.

The next row, the multi-core cable (black sheath) - red core is connected to P12, The Black connected to AI1, and white connected to GND - This is the 12V (red), Gnd (white) and Analogue voltage (1) - AI1 - clearly intended for speed control. So, where's the other end of that multicore cable plugged in?

The last, single core, red core is connected to X1 - Programmable input 1 (who's function is bound by the function code F044, as I asked for above), I expect this is bound by F044 to Forward (2). This is your Spindle On/Off control - so where is the other end of this wire?

(apologies - the other images - there's lots of black and red wires - unclear to follow.

BUT, what I'm inclined to say is the control box is configured to operate the spindle under Mach3 control.

If you have X, Y, Z axis working correctly - can you screenshot the Mach3 Ports/Pins Output and Spindle pages.

Really stupid to be asking right now. Have you tried issuing a "M3 S5000" command in the MDI on Mach3? What happens? Try with the VFD switch in both positions.

Last question - where do the two wires on the VFD rocker switch go to?
