CSS has a maximum RPM setting which I had to turn down to about 800 RPM to avoid errors before getting the dynamic braking working. A simple MDI or g-code command from 2500 RPM to 300 worked fine and at the VFD's decel setting. I'm guessing that a step from 2500 RPM to 300 RPM is handled differently from having CSS go from a small radius to a large one. My guess was that the difference was the constant stream of speed commands, but the output stream is constant all of the time anyway, which shoots holes in my guess. The VFD may have a noise filter on the analog input that makes the difference. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
