Please pay special attention on the chosen analog output number in the „Select analog output” option list as the number must be included in electrical connections. – deselect the „Use Spindle Motor Output” functionī) The next step is plugin configuration in the „Spindle” tab.

– select the „Use Spindle Motor Output” function Please pay special attention on the „Motor Control” area – namely, to have the analog output working correctly, only the „Step/Dir Motor” function must be selected and gray colour.

The changes must be made in the two areas as shown in the picture above. Stage 2 ) CSMIO/IP-M analog 0-10V output configurationĪ) We need to make some necessary changes in the „Spindle Setup” tab at first place. In the „PlugIn Control\CSMIO_IP plugin\Digital IO” tab and „Diagnostics (Alt-7)” tab we will notice active diodes of „Output 2” (Mach3 virtual output) and „Digital outputs nr.5” (digital output that controls the relay no. 2 will close the electrical circuit between the screw terminals no. 1).Īnalogously, if we enter “M4” into the MDI line and we press ENTER the relay no. On the other hand in the „PlugIn Control\CSMIO_IP plugin\Digital IO” tab and „Diganostics (Alt-7)” tab we will notice active diodes of „Output 1” (Mach3 virtual output) and „Digital outputs no.4” (digital output that controls the relay no. 1 relay will close the electrical circuit between the screw terminals no. If at this moment we enter the “M3” into the MDI line and we press ENTER the no. Pins no.1 and 2 of the relays were placed on 12, 13, and 25 screw terminals of the green block connector described as „STEP & DIGITAL OUTPUTS” In this case you should skip any configuration steps for „Output#2” in further stages.ī) Next we assign Port and Pin for virtual outputs: „Output#1” and „Output#2”.Īs you can see in the picture above I chose 4 and 5 „Pin”, my choice wasn’t accidental – namely, these “Pins” in the CSMIO/IP-M controller are responsible for relays no.1 and no.2 (Note: for relays work the acceptable parameters are 100mA and 30V DC). For the spindles which don’t have backward revs we can choose „Output#1” twice. In order to fully control the VFD through the Mach3, both Mach3 and plugin must be configured in two stages: Stage 1 ) CSMIO/IP-M relay outputs configurationĪ) We start the configuration with choosing the „M3” and „M4” commands of virtual outputs: „Output#” The article is about CSMIO/IP-M but the configuration applies to all CSMIO/IP controllers. Correct configuration of Mach3 software and plugin to control the VFD
