i feel like im really close to get this spindle working i just need your help.

So i finally got my spindle moving yesterday threw vfd auto tune feature but i cant get it working threw mach 4 yet.

I attached notepad file of ALL vfd settings along with manual and ESS screenshots to try to make this easier.

i have also had success getting motors connected and working.



ESSMB3 - VFD

AG - GND

AO - AI1

NO3 - X1 was also on y101

in VFD settings P01.20 is analog read on the VFD when in mach 4 enter rpm spindle start i will get a voltage reading here.


so what i think is left is maybe how to start spindle and witch direction it goes. how to wire that up and just make sure VFD settings are correct because i think somethings on wrong setting now.

seeing spindle spin for first time in 1 year has brought new life to this project
