Make sure you include a ground between the pc and the VFD (DCM on terminal strip) otherwise the process may not work.

I modified the 1.7.1 version of the plugin a bit so that it sets RTS high when sending, and otherwise keeps RTS low for receiving, so that it behaves with dummy RS485 converters.
It's a quick hack, and I'm not sure if royaumedeole would approve releasing this, but if there's an interest in this, I can link it.

How did you modify, do you have the source code?

Wow, answering to almost year old question, sorry for the delay!

I don't have source code, I modified the binary directly, using disassembler.

Hello SIVU,
Can you tell me please if you remember what disassembler did you used to decompile de dll file and recompile ?

Hi all,

I'm having a small issue with the plugin. Due to a problem with the motor tuning dialog not opening I had to re-install Mach3. Since then the spindle won't stop if started. regardless of a manual start or a G-code start as part of a toolpath, once the spindle starts it will not turn off. I have to hit the emergency stop. This did not happen before the re-install. There must be some setting I haven't made but I'm at a loss of where to start.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

No help out there? I have to press the E-stop for every tool change. That tells me that the stop command works but is not being sent in normal operation. This is really annoying.

Hello has anyone had an issue where the plugin can't communicate with the VFD after almost a year of working flawlessly? I came in to the machine today and the plugin could not communicate with the VFD ("unable to read value") the serial adaptor shows up in Win10 devices, The VFD works manually, the wires test positive for continuity. I haven't changed anything. I am at a bit of a loss.
