I'm using a Mitsubishi E500 VFD for spindle drive on the VMC I'm retrofitting & can't get variable speed to cooperate. The mitsub_vfd program operates properly (I think)- run/stop behaves as expected, speed commands are generated and accepted by the VFD, but the  motor speed stays the same. I hacked in a couple of debugging statements to show the dialogs (running in halcmd):

setp sp.motor-cmd 50
halcmd: 01ED11388EF   SENT: 0x5 0x30 0x31 0x45 0x44 0x31 0x31 0x33 0x38 0x38 0x45 0x46
7!DEBUG:  ,0,1, 0x6 0x30 0x31

show pins

........

     4  float IN                     50  sp.motor-cmd

.......

 then

setp sp.motor-cmd 80
halcmd: 01ED11F40F6   SENT: 0x5 0x30 0x31 0x45 0x44 0x31 0x31 0x46 0x34 0x30 0x46 0x36
7!DEBUG:  ,0,1, 0x6 0x30 0x31

show pins

........

     4  float IN                     80  sp.motor-cmd

.......

the messages are properly formatted per the Mitsub manual & replies show no errors

--but the test motor keeps running at the same speed.

Anyone have a clue where to look for the solution?

as always, thanks
