Ready Steady Eddy

[cncJim]

Thanks again Eddy, you have saved me many hours/days of Googling!

• What software did you use for your wiring diagrams? Looks very good and easy to follow.
  

• “No connectors, I'll be glanding off the cables at the bottom and wiring into the DIN rail mounted terminals”

  Of course! I have been specing out the various connectors I would be needing to hook everything up (not cheap!) but this way make far more sense! Even more so the fact that I plan to fix my control panel under the machine. Doh!
  
  
• Do you plan to have any control for things like Air/Water/Vacuum in the panel or maybe just have them switchable on the machine? I plan to have them all individually controllable (ON-OFF-ON with spindle).
  
• I like the idea for the spindle motor over temp. Have decided how you will implement this at the spindle?

Also I spotted your link to the “System Design for Control of Electrical Noise” pdf in another post. Just been reading it, great info, particularly the parts dealing with “clean/dirty/very dirty” cable runs. Very interesting.

Maybe not so much use in your case Eddy (?), but in case anyone else finds it useful I found a neat cable entry wiring solution for cabinets - Great for things like the parallel port cable:-
