Did you look at the Z motor power wiring, to see if you can find out where the 63 Ohm measurement came from?

Instead of a copy of your license file, try posting a current Report file from your control. Use F7/Utility -> F7/Report to create one. The file name will begin with "report_", and it will have a ".zip" file extension on it.

I measured the Z axis motor which is fully operational and the red to blk was 1.9 ohm red to gnd 63 ohm - this surprises me...2x blk to gnd 63 ohm That is very odd. I would have expected that to blow the Z axis of the drive as soon as you tried to put power to the Z motor. There should be a 3-posit...

I don't see anything wrong with the file.

I was able to read it in CNC12 offline/demo v5.00.

What CNC11 or CNC12 software version are you using?

Yes. A good starting point is to set P6 = 0 and P160 = 0. Beyond that, it mostly depends on your M6 macro and your PLC program. If your M6 macro does not recognize P6==0 and fall back on manual tool changes, then you will need to temporarily delete or rename it so that CNC12 just uses the default ma...

My complete Allin1DC basic mill PLC program is attached, for reference. I use Parameter 178 bit 2 (+4) to select bipolar analog.

Rigid tapping is not a factor one way or the other. To do tapping, you need to be able to make the spindle rotate forward and rotate reverse, at more or less the requested speed. It does not matter whether reverse rotation is accomplished with a bipolar analog signal, or with an alternate "run&...

Do you mean INP3, on the Alt-i display on the computer screen, is flickering between green and red? Or do you mean that a physical LED on the Allin1DC board, which happens to be near the limit defeater DIP switches, is blinking? If the latter, that has nothing to do with the limit switch defeaters. ...

Assuming you only want to use it for speed control, then that should work (output a value from 2048 to 4095 for 0V to +10V). My standard code is like this (having previously set "SpindleAnalogBipolar_M" per a parameter selection). ;Convert RPM to 12 bit value IF True THEN TwelveBitSpeed_FW...

No, but you don't get power for the coolant pump "out of the Allin1DC" in any circumstance. You need to find and install a suitable DC power supply, and a relay to switch it with. Then you use the Allin1DC output relay to switch the coil of the relay that in turn switches power to the pump...
