SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / PMDX 424 stuck in E-Stop state

« on: August 07, 2019, 10:19:42 PM »

I have a 424, with a 407 attached and a 104 connected, running a CNC Router with Mach 4.

Windows 7
Mach 4 build 4162
WX4.set
PMDX424 RevB PCB
SN 34478 (B1)
Plugin 0.53.263
Bootloader 1.13.73
Firmware 0.60.208

Finishing up a major refurbish / improvement of the machine and today somehow got the board into E-stop, and can't get it to recover.
Powering everything off , waiting and restarting doesn't help... Nor does uninstall / reinstall of Mach 4 or Plugin.
Mach 4 still will not enable and reports: PMDX could not enable the SmartBOB 'error E-Stop active, not allowed'
We have the orange LED briefly lit when powering on, the green LED flashing approx once per second. and the red LED continuously lit.
I upgraded the plug-in and firmware a couple of weeks ago and we've had each axis running individually for testing since then.
Is there a hard reset button on the board?
My machine E-Stop is purely an AC Power cut-off and has never been connected to the 424 E-stop port. The original supplied bridged plug is in the same place its always been at the end of the outputs (J14)?

Thanks Steve.

Page from the manual that came with the drive is attached. Connector on VFD is the same as this.

Cheers

SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / Connecting 407 to new VFD

« on: January 13, 2017, 02:09:50 AM »

Hi all

I had  spindle speed control via a 407 connected to a Holip brand VFD. VFD died and I bought a Huanyang HY02D223B to replace it. Control port names are completely different so I need some help with connecting back up. Its a router so I only need forward rotation and Mach4 command of rpm.

Previously wired as:  Aref -> +10v,  Aout -> VI,  Agnd -> ACM,  Run -> For,   Com-> Dcm.

Terminals available on the new VFD:
12V out
5V out
5V in
10V in
20mA in
5V F out
GND
FWD
REV
RST
D0+
D1-
D2 JOG
Lk
Lb
Lz

So what goes where??

TIA

Mitch
