I've been doing pretty well up to this point. I have everything hooked up, my X and Y axis are moving correctly with Mach 3 connecting through the UC100 and the G540.
I have a Hitachi WJ200 connected to an Iron Horse 1hp 3600rpm motor and I can run it fine from the control panel on the VFD. When I set A001 and A002 to 01 which is Analog control, and connect it to the G540 I seem to have a problem with the UC100. If I open the UC100 monitor window it has no LED's lit up for Pin 14 which is the spindle pin.
I'm not even sure where to go from here, I've triple checked my wiring, and have looked through various other peoples setups from here and have the VFD setup correctly I believe. Did I miss a step somewhere? Anyone help me start digging around?
Thanks
PS, is it ok for my 380oz/in stepper to get pretty warm at idle/holding torque? Is this the normal state when powered on with Mach 3 running?
