I am running Mach3, suppose I could use the old standby chevy ignition key switch system to be sure only one or the other is on at any one time.

But wouldn't this cause the Spindle and laser to operate at the same time?

I am thinking of adding a 2.5-10w laser to my CNC router for marking wood.  How can I add a second PWM output to run the laser without having to disconnection/switch the spindle out from the PMDX-107?

Well this makes me feel bad.

I had the PID switchs on the PMDX-107 configured backwards.....

So it is all working now.

Hello,

My first post here.

I originaly got my router up and running just fine with the PMDX-126 and a Regular router motor.  Worked great, and was able to control the router on of from the PMDX-126 just fine.

I had always intended to get a true spindle for my machine and purchased the common Chinese Huanyang HY02D223B and 2.2KW 24,000RPM Spindle.

But I am running into control problems.

I can control the spindle fine from the VFD, an HY02D223B, but i get no response from Mach3. Not even a twitch.

Here is the document i followed on setting Mach3 and my PMDX-126 and PMDX-107 control boards.

And here is my pinout from the PMDX-107 to the VFD

PMDX-107 - VFD
Rev/Dir - REV
FWD/Run - FOR
COM - DCM
Aout - VI
Agnd - ACM

And here are the PID settings in the VFD
PD001 - 1 (change to 0 to allow control from the VFD buttons)
PD002 - 0
PD003 - 400
PD004 - 400
PD005 - 400
PD0023 - 1
PD00141 - 220
PD00142 - 11
PD00144 - 1440

Probing around I do not seem to be getting 10v from the PMDX-107 at the VI/ACM pins.  And no pins appear to short on the PMDX-107 when i reverse direction in mach 3. 

It has to be something simple, and I hope someone can point me in the correct direction.

here are screenshots of all the involved config screens.
