General Mach Discussion / Re: Another G540 VFD Output setup
« on: May 08, 2013, 08:00:54 PM »
Jeff,
I didn't use the outputs for a relay at this time because I am just trying to get the VFD voltage to read right first out of PIN 8 of the G540 and I can turn the spindle on with the on/off STSP on the POT I am using.
So I turn it on with the POT SPST then issue the M3 and then the speed Snumber and the voltage will go between 65mV and 69mV on PIN8 depending on what S command I give it. Weird. I am feeding it 10V across PIN 7,9 and tried the 9V battery hookup test also.
I don't know either if I have to have an OUTPUT enabled.....good question.
I will call Gecko tomorrow and ask them.
Thanks,
Jimmy
