I saw you commented on this one also.

I recommend contacting Warp9 and make sure you let them know which rev of Mach4 and which rev of the plugin you are using.
They may want you to change the rev of one of them.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Need Help - Mach4 errors w/ PMDX-424

We use a ESS from Warp 9 with a PMDX-126 breakout board.
No problems.
I am sure that your issues are related to the USB.
Hate to say it but get away from USB control.

I am not sure there is a mc.MC_JOG_TYPE_VEL.
I think you want to use mc.JogGetVelocity(inst, axisID)

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Modbus Programming guidance needed

I am interested in a little better info on modbus also.
I am only going to be bringing info into Mach4 but it is hard to find much in the way of how.

Use relays to switch between the inverters and the bob spindle relay and the 0-10v from the bob.
the freq on the inverters is still a 0-10v regardless of the frequency they output.
0 is no rotation
10 is full speed rotation

I would think that for the different spindles you just need to switch the on signal and the rpm signal.
The settings on the VFD should not matter.
You can set it up so depending on the spindle the time to get up to speed changes.
It will take some programming.
