Sounds good, will buy the DC-03 when i decide i need program control. need to get the motor working first and determine if i can get a better finish by varying the speed for different cuts. i am trying to produce a part that does not require sanding so i have to fiddle with every rough and finish and cleanup cut.

?

Hi Spencer,

One or both relays on the DC-03 can be controlled separately from the spindle
control if desired.

In normal use they are controlled via the M3 and M4 commands on the Mach3
spindle setup tab, but you could use them for other uses as well.

If you wanted to you could control two VFDs with the one DC-03. You could;
1. Connect VA+ to the +10V terminal on one VFD
2. Connect AVgnd to the 0V terminal on both VFDs
3. Connect the AVout to the Control voltage input on both VFDs
4. Connect Relay one to the FWD or RUN terminal on one VFD
5. Connect Relay two to the FWD or RUN terminal on the other VFD

You can then use M3 to run on one VFD and M4 to run the other. If you have
maximum spindle speeds on the two spindles, use the pulley selection so that
pulley 1 is used on the first spindle and pulley 2 on the 2nd.

The DC-03 can also be used with spindles that use a +/-10V control voltage
inputs where a -ve voltage reversed the spindle direction. The two relays can
be wired so that when a M3 is issued the DC-03 presents a positive voltage to
the spindle controller, and then presents a -negative voltage to the
controller when an M4 is issued.

By having indepentant control of the two onboard relays they can be used to
implement a wider range of control variants.

Cheers,

Peter
