Got this Indramat KDA 3.2-100-3-A00-W1 on a TOS cnc machine with a Heidenhain 407, I can't get the spindle to spin up, and I'm kinda thinking it might be something wrong with the spindle drive - even though it says "ready", and it looks like it get different parameters etc, but it showd N * NCMD.

The 407 have a "star" coming on so it thinks it's running the spindle given the M03 command - but I get no power out of the spindle drive.

Is there any feedbacks the spindle drive need to output any power, or is it something else that might "stop" it.

If I disconnect some of the plugs it reports things like "No Power", "NO RF" etc, so it seem to be "sensing".....


Any tips on checks one can do would be appreciated.

Also - does anyone know if the X12 connector the T2 should be shorted to ground ? (on the drive itself as it shorts when cables are disconnected - it's the connector for the Thermistor).
