Parallel Port breakout boards, motherboards, and dedicated accessories / Re: Hoping for help with connecting PMDX-107 and Fuling DZB200 VFD

I think I may have figured it out but I'd appreciate a sanity check.

Rev - S2 (Labelled as multifunction digital input, default function is reverse)
Fwd - S1 (Labelled as multifunction digital input, default function is forward)
COM - DCM
Aref - None
Aout - VI (Labelled as Analog voltage input, 0~10 (Max. output freq.) Input)
Agnd - ACM

My only hesitation is that I am unsure if DCM and ACM correspond to digital common and analog common respectively. I'm pretty sure, but I am not sure enough to risk setting my jobs robot on fire.

Thanks.

Hey, so first off let me say that I have actually no idea what I am doing.

I am trying to enable spindle speed control through Mach4 using a PMDX-107+PMDX-126 and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to wire it up.

The manual for the VFD, a Fuling DZB200B002.2L2DK, is available at http://www.manualslib.com/manual/828872/Fuling-Inverter-Dzb200-Series.html
A photo of the VFD with its ports exposed (oh my!) is here: http://i.imgur.com/YgBvrJP.jpg

I've looked at it and the PMDX-107 manual quite a bit and, honestly, this kind of stuff is not my territory. I'm an industrial designer by trade but I mess with electronics as a hobby so my boss figured I could handle it.

I super don't agree. I'd really appreciate any assistance.

Edited to add: My PMDX-107 is a Revision D1, if that is in any way significant.
