Hi Muzzer,

Ok, so I've double-checked those settings and they are as above, I've also done more testing today... I'm beginning to wonder if the Braking Resistor terminals are even connected on the PCB Board - I tested the following

1) No Break Resistor attached to VFD, DC Brake off (01_07 - 0)
2) No Brake Resistor attached to VFD, DC Brake on (01_07 - 2)
3) Brake Resistor attached to VFD, DC off (01_07 - 0)
4) Brake Resistor attached to VFD, DC on (01_07 - 2)

1st test had a fault and the Spindle just free-wheeled to a stop after approx 2min 30seconds
2nd test stopped on 21 seconds +/- .5
3rd test stopped on 21 seconds +/- .5
4th test stopped on 21 seconds +/- .5

The internal built-in brake is slowing it down but isn't powerful enough to stop it quickly and for whatever reason the external Brake Resistor is having no effect I have checked the Break Resistor for resistance with my Multimeter and it's saying 60ohms so I can only assume it's ok... I would like to know is there a way to check the actual VFD with my Multimeter to see if the DC Brake wiring is even connected... I don't know where I would need to put the multimeter prongs to test or what setting to have it on, if you or anyone else knows that would be great.

Cheers,


Phil
