Forward and reverse relays
I have a problem with the forward and backward spindle control buttons on the VCP. It is possible to go from forward to reverse without having to press the stop button first. Does anyone have a wiring diagram that will solve this problem? I have folowed the wiring diagram of Franco on you tube.
Re: Forward and reverse relays
With most spindle-control methods, that is not a problem.
How are you powering your spindle motor?
Changing the spindle start/stop/direction logic can be done. It would require changes to the PLC program.
For your machine, how long should your control wait, after a spindle-stop command, before it should be allowed to start in the other direction?

Re: Forward and reverse relays
If you have a VFD controlling your spindle, it will control the deceleration to 0 and then the acceleration to the set speed in the other direction without damage to the motor if your parameters and tuning are correct. There is no need to physically stop the motor before changing directions.

Re: Forward and reverse relays
Many thanks for the reply. I tested the forward and reverse and like you said it slows down and then goes in the oposite direction smoothly.
