I have a VKM3 mill with the Centurion 7 control. I can issue a speed and run ( S and M3 or M4) command via MDI to start the spindle and I can stop it via the control panel STOP button, but I cannot restart the spindle by pushing either the CW or CCW buttons. Looking at the diagnostic page for the control panel, I can see the control recognizes the button push, but it does not start in either direction. Seems odd that the buttons are there, but don't function.
Is there a parameter setting that will allow this? It would be a lot more handy to restart the spindle with the buttons rather than the multiple steps via MDI. Of course, I would still have to issue an initial speed command, but the ability to turn on/off the spindle via the buttons would be preferable.
Any help is appreciated.
