Title: Ease-in and ease-out spindle on M3 and M5?
Post by: Azalin on September 12, 2021, 04:47:22 PM

Hi,

My spindle motor is an AC servo and it is driven with 0-10v analog. Currently the servo does hard start on M3 and hard stop on M5. Is there a way to setup Mach4 to increase the analog signal from 0 to the desired speed like 500ms so it'll kinda soft start and vice versa?

Thanks

I forgot to mention that my control board is an M16D with PoKeys 57E.

That should be easy to do it from your servo drive settings, check the manual. I don't think that you can do it from Mach4.

After I read your post I searched for parameters and found ADCRiseTime and ADCFallTime. Setting these to 500ms did the trick.

Thanks.
