Good morning, We have had an old Vortex Chinese Router 4x8 running Mach3 since 2009. No issues until last week. The computer that ran our Mach3 software failed. I thought it was the board but looks like the hard drive. I was able to add the drive to another older machine, I was able to copy the Mach3 directory and all of its contents to a thumb drive. I proceeded to download the newer copy of Mach3, pasted my license code and .XML files to the software. Software starts and and I am able to control X Y and Z BUT, I do not get a spindle start up. I have tried everything I can. CHALLENGE: This machine manufacturer is out of business, No support from anyone. The Inverter is a Fuling, DZB100. We have a digital readout but we have never run the spindle from the inverter panel., We have not changed anything on the router itself. We only added a new PC but added an LPT card because the newer PCs did not have a LPT on it. Based on that note, I did change the IRQ setting in Mach3 to add the address for the card. Again, X Y and Z axis moves as expected.
I attached the xml in the event someone may be able to spot something.
Any direction you can point me in would be appreciated. We have been down in production for 9 days now.
Mike
