    Both Y and Slave Y(A) are wired the same to the controller.

    Re: HY spindle on/off but no speed control.

    In the end It is soooooo much better to just go with the HY plugin and USB RS485 Adapter. That's what I did $8.00 next day on Amazon Prime

    Thanks for everyones help.

    Re: HY spindle on/off but no speed control.

    Thanks guys.

    Got it working. Even though I did not find a single setting wrong.
    I did a Master reset (PD0013=8). I then went back through and reentered the settings.

    HY spindle on/off but no speed control.

    If my BoB is correctly putting out voltage (0-10v) based on RPM input (Mach3) for my Spindle speed then the problem must be on the vfd side? (HY VFD & 2.2kw Spindle)

    I think I have every parameter...

    How to Wire EMI Filter for 220v VFD?

    I have a CW4L2-20A-S EMI Filter.

    Can I just attach L1 to one pole and L2 to the other?

    Where is it best to ground the EMI? (to the VFD Ground terminal or machine frame?)

    TIA

    Re: BOB and NPN Proxy Switch wiring question.

    Is this why...
    The Limit switch always provides 5v until it is flagged.
    So If the wire breaks (because the BoB already provides a high 5v) there is nothing to bring the input to 0v so there is no...

    If I understand correctly, the Proximity switch setup I am going with will be fail safe in the same way since its active high correct?
