I am in the process of setting up my Emco 120p with acorn and having an issue getting the spindle to run in reverse with M4
I can command the spindle to run in forward, but not reverse, it just stops spinning.
I have a Hitcahi WJ200 and have wired it with schematic s15128
Things I have checked:
I have swapped the 1 and 2 pin on the vfd and when I do so the direction at the spindle changes when I do an m3 command, so I know the terminals in the vfd are functioning, and the motor as well.
I changed relay outputs to make sure I didn’t have a dead relay. If I command forward relay 4 is green, if I command reverse relay 5 is green.
I swapped the spin fwd and spin reverse outputs in wizard and it changes direction.
I checked continuity in the spindle reverse wire to ensure the wire was not bad. And replaced the cable just to be sure.
Hoping someone can help me out

Re: Lathe spindle not reversing direction
The schematic you used for your wiring is designed for SpindleEnable and SpindleDirection outputs, not SpindleFwd and SpindleRev outputs.

Re: Lathe spindle not reversing direction
Thank you, that was it. I don’t think I was ever going to figure that out in my own.
