I am trying setup Mach4, I have a 3 axis machine with the following hardware ESS,C25-Smooth Stepper Terminal Board, C41 Spindle Control(
www.cnc4pc.com)and Taiwan Delta VFD-B frequency inverter, 4.5Kw Spindle.
I am able to move all axis, home the machine, and have hard & soft limit capabilities.
My issues are:
X & Y Axis home very slow .79IPM I have tried adj. the Home speed settings with no luck.
The spindle will not work using G Code (M3 S4500) via the MDI, but the spindle will turn on using the spindle forward button on Mach4 Panel.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am almost there...
Thanks to some help from Warp9's forum - http://warp9td.com/index.php/kunena/7-general-discussion/5291-mach4-ess-setup-problems?start=6Hi everyone and thanks for your help...
Here is where I am at,
I was able to take care of the slow homing for X & Y Axis thanks to the video from
www.youtube.com/channel/UCOy_xGRn5Uq3-u_LgNFzNNw DazTheGas.
As for my spindle, I removed the files M3, M4, M5 from the Macros folder and I was able to turn on the spindle via MDI (M3 S2500 but, no speed control.
I then set the configuration up with the help of daniellyall (thanks). However, I still do not have speed control or M4 (CCW). Maybe I am missing something in the ESS config? I have tried multiple selections with no luck.
Spindle works fine with Mach3 under PWM settings
I have provided two pics and a PDF of the wring from the inverter. Hoping this will help.
Thanks
