I`ve managed to do it now i had to change the spindle speed back to 3000 so all the voltages came up.
So, you are good now and passed the spindle bench test?

As I said before, follow the All in One DC Installation guide to the "T". Get stuck stop, create a report, ask for help here and post the report. Pictures/video clip helpful. The more information you provide, the better we can understand and make suggestions.
Good luck
Marty

Recap your build. What kind of machine? What size servo motors? What is the DC buss voltage? Do you have a Google album with pictures?
Don't buy just any old contactor. Needs to be rated for DC voltage. Centroid sells them. Suggest you run DC+ and DC- across their own contacts. Spreads the load across two contacts instead of one.

Your should use a contactor for each motor load. The should be rated to the FLA of the motor and I usually add 10%. And, as Marty stated, if they are controlling a DC load, they should be DC rated for that amperage. Each of the contactors will also need a Quench Arc or snubber across the coil.

Did you run AUTO TUNE? Generally it will optimize your rapids.
Did you buy the Centroid WMPG (Wireless MPG) It should not be backwards.
When you press X- on VCP or Keyboard Jog, does the table move to the right?
When you press Y+ on VCP or Keyboard Jog, does the table move toward you?
When you press Z- on VCP or Keyboard Jog, does the head or quill move down?
Is the machine homing properly?
Post a FRESH REPORT.
Marty

If you have a CWP-4 (the first generation wireless MPG) set Parameter 411 = 0.
If you have a WMPG-4 (current generation wireless MPG) set Parameter 411 = 1.
