The first thing that would help is if you watch all of the vectric free tutorials. Then making sure you set up the machine to match the way the design file is set up is the only other issue.

I set mine up to force a rehome after estop. E stop is just for emergencies and I seldom use it. The escape button will stop a file without doing the estop.

Glad it's working. Look up some of these to clean up the wiring. "Cable Duct Cable Raceway Kit"

The enable is not really needed. If it is left off, when the drives are powered up, they are enabled.

All wiring diagrams that are made for the dm series leadshine drivers use the db25. It is to do with 5v step/dir signals instead of 24v I believe. Most servo's tie directly into the board. I would find one of the wiring diagrams for the dm series drivers and go with that. It is proven to work. A 10-...

Considering they may be similar to the DM leadshine, they should probably be hooked up with the breakout board in the db25.

When you updated the software did you restore the report, or start from scratch setting up the machine?

Basically if it worked before you did the swap, you missed something in the wiring swap. One loose strand of wire to the plug, can mess things up.

I'm surprised to see you are not using the db25 for the step/dir outputs. What are the model number and brand of drives?

Do you have an auto tool change machine, or do you just need to measure each tool after a manual change? I have macro's for both.

It's telling you your homing file is messed up or it's pointing to something that is not set up correctly for it in the mfunc 71 file.
From the wizard screen do a Control/P and that will make a pdf of your wizard settings. Then post it here so we can see it.

Try to run the spindle with a 9v battery to the vfd terminals instead of using acorn for a test. That should give you 90% of max speed and verify if the vfd is set up correctly.
