When selecting the D25 connections in the wizard the behavior of the "Enable" terminals on H2 and H3 are inverted since most stepper drives are enabled by default and need a signal to disable them.Therefore these outputs are pulled low when the axis is NOT enabled. This behavior can be cha...

Make sure the machine chassis ground is connected to the power supply "COM" terminal.

The report shows that VFDEnable and VFDDirection outputs are forced off.

1. No. This circuit removes the run signal from the VFD. 2. You could do that, but then you would want to wait a couple minutes for the VFD to completely power off every time you pressed Reset/E-stop. Power cycling the VFD with each Reset/E-stop is can be hard on the VFD and may shorten it's life. 3...

Does the enable LED for that axis turn green when you enter MDI or attempt to jog the axis?

In CNC12, change machine parameter 198 to "5611".

Error 5161 is issued by the PLC program logic The message is called from the plcmsg.txt. "... 161 5161 Unconfigured Mini PLC 1 Found 162 5162 Unconfigured Mini PLC 2 Found 163 5163 Unconfigured Mini PLC 3 Found 164 5164 Unconfigured Mini PLC 4 Found ..." The 900 series parameters are reser...

If you connected one PLCADD1616, set machine parameter 900 to a value of "1".

Since the paired axis is labeled, it can be commanded separately.
Set your G30 return points for X and B axes to match.
