Hello again everyone,
Need some help with my spindle speed control with Mach 4.
My setup is Mach4, ESS Smoothstepper on a MB2 BOB. I'm using a Teco/Westinghouse L510 VFD with 2.2Kw (400hz) water cooled spindle.
I've got VFD working with Mach4, so if I enter an M3 S----- command the spindle turns on, but it runs at either 60Hz or 400hz, ( 3500 or 24000rpm)
does not matter what the rpms I'm asking for. I've got ESS spindle programmed for PWM and I
have PID checked. I was hoping someone out there has a similar setup or is using a Teco VFD and can help
me out. I'm thinking I need to program the PID function in the VFD but not quite sure. I'm enclosing the
manual for the Teco L510-203-H3-U.
Thanks again, Richard
