motion.motion-enable is another signal I use to control the power input 
to the vfd's. I think it might be prefereable to switching everything 
with an axis enable.  On the 7i90 I've 72 gpio's minus the dedicated 
functions, so I fed that to two gpio's and a pair of 40 amp crydom SSR's 
to switch both sides of the 250 to the vfd. And will eventually move the 
4000 lumen led strip over the bed of the lathe to one of those lcnc 
switched circuits.  I'm doing the same thing on the 6040, but the 
display on that vfd is garbage even though it is doing exactly what lcnc 
is telling it to do...

I got to re-read the chinglish in that booklet I think. Even 
semi-translated, very little of it makes sense in real, Iowa farm boy 
english. :-) Took me a month just to locate and program in some LF 
boost, OOTB I could stop it at 12,000 revs by grabbing it by hand.  

Cheers, Gene Heskett
