Wiring PMDX-107 to ACtech Lenze VFD

[Techsavvy34]

I was wondering if somebody could help me with wiring the pmdx-107 to my lenze vfd.  I will be using mach3 and want to be able to control the speed from mach3 and gcode.  I also want to be able to start/stop the spindle with mach3 and M3/M4.  I'm also wondering if it's a good idea to wire forward and reverse or just forward for the spindle.  Here's the vfd's manual so you guys can look at the settings/connections.

Page 21 of the manual shows the terminal strip connections on the vfd.  Page 26, 30 show the input parameters for the vfd.  Thanks for your help.

The connections needed are:

PMDX-107       ACtech Lenze VFD

Agnd              2
Aout              5
Aref               6

COM              both 1 and 4
FWD/RUN       13A
REV/DIR         13B

VFD parameter settings

P100       1       run commands from terminal strip
P101       1       run speed reference from terminal strip
P112       1       allow Forward and Reverse rotation
P121       13     make terminal 13A function as RUN Forward
P122       14     make terminal 13B function as RUN Reverse

There are many more parameters that can be adjusted. Please reference
your ACtech Lenze VFD manual or contact your ACtech representative for
assistance with advanced parameter settings.

We recommend using the Calibrate test button on the PMDX-107
to verify functions of the PMDX-107 with the VFD before attempting
to use Mach software to implement VFD control.

See the VFD section of our application note here for assistance in
setting up Mach to run a VFD using a PMDX-107.

Thanks Steve.  I know all about the advanced parameters I was just making sure I was using the right connections.
Also in the pdf you mentioned,  it say's that their is a mach3 xml file that can be downloaded but I can't find it.  The file is called
PMDX_3Axis_pp_02.xml.  Can this file still be downloaded?  The pdf also mentions a AN006: Connecting limiot switches and home switches to pmdx boards
but I can't seem to find this either.

Thanks for all your help with everything Steve.

I had posted the link to just the PDF file. The ZIP file that also includes
the XML file is here:

All of our application notes are here:

http://www.pmdx.com/AppNotes

Unfortunately we still have not gotten the planned AN006 application note
written, even though it is mentioned in other application notes.

The best reference currently available for connecting home and limit
switches is section 6.1 of the PMDX-126 users manual. If you still
have questions, please post them in this forum under a new topic.
