This seemed to work.

Thanks Mark, I'm going to check that out and see what changes we should make. I'm not familiar with Fast Stop. I assumed it is emergency cases as well as, tapping, tool changes? Really would you only want to coast to stop at the end of a program? Seems if used to frequently it could be bad on bearin...

We did resolve this. The owner and I forced on an output setup for fast stopping the spindle and that also worked to enable the drive. The documentation for Siemens just seems complex to find the right information. Late 1990's system. It's labeled PWM but is setup for +10 full forward and -10vdv for...

Does anyone have the PLC code for the ALLINONEDC to do spindle control +10vdc forward and (-)10vdc reverse?

I'm getting the voltage and the enables but, I think I discovered this drive is a PWM. What is the best way to convert or use Centroid to control a PWM spindle servo in your guys experience?

Guys, I think Marc and some others thought they may have some setup help for using a Siemens 611 servo as a spindle motor. I think I have the enables setup right and the spindle seems to go firm holding position. Might be a velocity mode setting I have to change. But, I'll leave my report and if any...

Thanks for the reply Marc and Keith. It started when we changed the motherboard. We are using the same flash harddrive Centroid supplied. I don't know the Linux OS at all. I'll check the directory and see if any large files are slowing up. What the best method for checking a Linux harddrive for corr...

Anyone ever seen cnc10 take forever to load its directory?

Thanks Marc, Additionally I think the parameters 308-315 to select which encoder used for 348-350. Like quicksand it sinks in just slowly. Once I have it; I have for good most of the time.

I'm wondering if the cable got crushed or flexed enough it is shorting with high resistance or open.
