Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach 4 ESS C82 Huanyang VFD PWM Spindle setup

Hi
I can't help you with regard to configuration of your UC300 motion control card interface with your C76. Configuration of my ESS plugin is where the work is done to set up control of my VFD. There was no specific set up of the dedicated 0-10V output -- I believe it becomes active simply by telling the plugin that the spindle is under PWM control. To start trouble shooting, have you measured the voltage of the 0-10V output in response to MDI M03 speed commands? If you have not, then you need to do this. If your spindle min/max speeds (set in Mach4 configuration Spindle tab) are 0/24000, then M03 s6000 should give 2.5V. :-). Let me know?
