here is my spindle set up

[PAULRO]

output signals set up ,
ouput 1 = port 1, pin 14 , active high
output 2=port 1 , pin 16 , active high.
( if i toggle the active high to active low on this output, the spindle comes on .


my motor ouputs tab is a stumbling bolck for me , should i enable the spindle ?
i have it enabled on this tab , step pin 14, i don't know what DIR PIN to use because i have only 1 output pin ( 17) left and that's a relay .

is this my problem . thanks in advance

I've just been chastised on the phone by Clive S for letting my level of response drop to a below an acceptable level. . . . . . . Very sorry.!!

Give me 20 mins and I'll try to make sense of what's happening or not happening and suggest a few things.

Tell me whats happening or not happening as of now.? Does the spindle start/stop when you push spindle CW (F5) button.?

[PAULRO]

no , the spindle will only start if i tick the active low setting of the start relay ( pin 16) on the output tab. then it starts before i get to apply the changes to that tab ??? if you follow my drift? i have tried an m3 , S2000 , on the MDI TAB and if i toggle the spindle button (F5) The buttons blinks intermittently , but nothing happens, the output signal current state on the Diagonistic tab binks on / off also...

Ok think I know whats happening here. You haven't enabled and setup the Spindle output in Motor outputs so the spindle CW F5 isn't turning on or controlling output #14.

So try this first and I think you'll find it turns spindle on/off ok.
Ports & Pins -> Motor Outputs / Spindle: Enabled /Step Pin # (14)/ Step Port # (1)

On the VFD set PD001 =1 This is external source for run command
On the VFD set PD002 = 1 This is external source for Frequency.

If this works then you may need to play with Motor tuning to get the exact speed. Also go to Pulley setup and set minimum and maximum speed.

Deleted because changed my mind.!!

the PD002 setting did the trick o.k. i can at least turn the spindle on/off( kind of ) from F5 . i can also increase and decrease the speed but i still need to have the active low setting ''ticked '' for the start / stop output. the spindle still runs on its own albeit at a very reduced speed . i have an LED on board the BOB for the relay outputs and the relay for the ''start /stop '' is constantly on because of the active low tick. It looks like a synchronisation issue between MACH and VFD, i think. ??? if there is such a setting . i also set the spindle pulley tab to ''MIN ZERO'' & ''MAX to 24000'' . there must be some other setting i'm missing. cheers jazz.
