Hello Eric For some reason I did not have my GPIO I/O pins set correctly in my HAL file, when I corrected that problem the "net motion.spindle-forward=>hm2-5i23.o.gpio.042.out" worked just fine. When you use Motion for spindle control the GUI automatically appears in AXIS. Cool!
Thank you for the help John ________________________________ From: Eric H.

Is motion.enable true? Did you give the "S" parameter a non-zero value? As for Axis, I cannot be much help there, as I mostly don't use it except for testing. Regards, Eric I have two more questions Do have any idea which soft pin link to M3 and M4 for spindle rotation. I currently have aVFD set up to recive inputs for cw and ccw rotation. I see there are two types of soft pins (Halui and Motion) and I tried both with no success.These are the signals I have tried "net halui.spindle.runs-forward => hm2-5i23.0.gpio.042.out" and "net motion.spindle-forward=>hm2-5i23.o.gpio.042.out" I have also looked for parameters for these soft pins. :-) My second question is how do you show the spindle control on the AXIS controller menu. I am using the standard HOSTMOT2 config. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
