Hi,

very basic question:
I have a spindle configuration as follows
#spindle
net spindle-on motion.spindle-on => hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.pwmgen.00.enable
setp hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.pwmgen.00.scale 10
setp hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.pwmgen.00.output-type 1
net spindle-speed-out motion.spindle-speed-out => hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.pwmgen.00.value
setp motion.spindle-at-speed 1

The output of my 7i33 on port DRV0 is between 0 and 10 VDC, so this works correctly.

But how do I need to wire the interface of the spindle with DRV0?
The description of the spindle interface is in the attached image.

From your image it looks like you wire
GND of 7i33 to pin 9 on the drive
0..10V output of 7i33 to pin 10 on the drive

Just be careful with grounding issues. If this drive is a high-power, old, or damaged, or something else is funny, then GND (pin 9) on the drive side could be something wildly different than GND on the PC/mesa side and bad things will happen.

thanks for your reply.
I've connected the inverter as you described it.

I set the scale that with m3 s24000 the spindle should reach full speed.
But there is a strange behaviour, for example, if i enter m3 s21000 or lower the spindle turns off.
Are there any other parameters in hostmot.pwmgen, which i need to set?

thanks

Can you measure the control voltage with a multimeter? Do you see the values you expect?

Thanks for your help, i had a negative voltage at the output of 7i33, which is not supported by the inverter.
Everything seems to work now, thx.
