Not really... The issue is sometimes you have to be 1 register off (base zero base one issue) Subtract the table location from the value (sometimes, depends on the manual).  It's just not that much fun! I am ordering one and I will beat that thing into submission ! Can you give me a link that will show me the correct VFD ?

The modbus in Mach4 will run way more devices ... I have not had anything that could not be run

You want me to remote in at some point and have a look ?

The settings in Mach4 are about the same really. We don't do any PWM but the motion controller will have that functionality. What motion controller are you using? Depending on the motion controller will change how this is done.

I know we need to update the manuals that is like the most dreaded task! Making manuals is no fun at all! What would you like to do with the spindle? I am sure I can help you.

Yeah that is a Mach4 original because I have needed it in the past on OEM's I have worked with It sure is nice to see people using the stuff I came up with in my little brain

I have been able to get the modbus to work with tons of VFD's. It may take some messing about but I am sure we can make it work. If you would like I can remote in and look at it with you... All I need to see is the manual !

Did you power cycle the ESS, if you had a bad shutdown it can cause issues and power cycling should fix it
