The port '0-10V' does then serve to supply the voltage & switching functions.

To avoid joining the ACM & DCM grounds of the VFD, I have configured for the Huanyung as follows:

Port 0-10V, pin 14 (constant 3.25V) connected to the 5V coil of a reed relay which is operated through switching (to ground) pin1. The switched terminals of the relay open & close FOR & DCM of the VFD

Port 0-10V, pin 18 (+ve 0-10V) and pin 25 (ground) then supply the variable voltage to control the spindle speed between VI & ACM of the VFD.

Configure port input I222 hood - query ready signal cabinet HF spindle LPT2 PIN 12 (for WINPC-NC)

The Huanyung is then good to go. The only thing wrong at the moment is the spindle speed is running at +30% across the speed range but I will add a trimmer to adjust this.

Thank you Boyan for saving me from smoking the VFD at the outset

Gavin, i want to do exactly what you have done. I have a Zero3 from Heiz and i want to install a spindle like this:

So that i can use WINPC-NC and just send speed control over the controller automatically.

Could you create or explain exactly what you have done? There is still a few things i don't understand.

Thanks, in advance
