@ CS-Lab Support:
This request is about a smallish table-top Mill:
Retrofitted Emco VMC100 3 axis Mill with tool change carousel.
Mach4 Hobby v. 4.2.0.4405 and CSMIO IP-S v. 3.412.
Spindle servo motor powered by an Argon drive (Granite Devices) with step/dir control and encoder feedback.
The spindle motor is used on motor step/dir output 4 of the IP-S to drive the carousel during the ATC (M6) procedure. This is working correctly. To work as tool spindle the control is switched to step/dir output 5. This used to work in the past, about 2 years ago. Recently it lost speed control (Gcode s-- command) and always runs at maximum rpm as assigned in the motors tab of Mach4.
My question is how to configure this output 5 as Spindle correctly? Can you point me to some documentation? Am I using the correct IP-S plugin version?
