    TB6560 controller Spindle ON on power up OFF Mach3 Plunges

    I have just installed TB6560 3 axis controller.

    As soon as i power it up my spindle starts running immediatly....even if PC is turned off.

    When Mach 3 runs Gcode the spindle travels to start point, plunges to start cut..then the spindle stops .....any ideas ?

    Thanks.

    Sounds like you don't have a charge pump circuit, to turn off the bob when mach is not ready.


    Also, can you post the Gcode for that spindle problem ?
