Convert 6040z mks4-v controller to AXBB-E any help ?

[gurusonwheels]

tracked down this much of the existing setup ...

but have been unable to figure out where the relay line red wire is going . thinking maybe a switch on front .
but it oms out all over the place .

not sure its helping me understand where to put the wires on the new board at all though .

[gurusonwheels]

so far i have this .
think its right but not sure ....

still working on it .

[gurusonwheels]

here is what i have .
can not figure where the 10v line would go on the axbb-e though .

does this look right ?

i dont want to do this and fry something .
but i have no idea how to program it to the ports and all ..

The 10V from the VFD can be left unconnected, because the AXBB-E has it's own 10V power.

so does everything else look ok .

im wondering what i have to do in the software to make it work ....

of course i have to hook up 24v+ and 24v- and 5v+ and 5v- inputs also

[gurusonwheels]

whats the best way to handle all these +5 volt connections since there is no where to connect them all .

solder together in a bundle and run one wire to +5v ?

You have a few options for spreading the 5V to all your drives. You could bring out one or two wires (what ever you can get into the 5v terminal), and then daisy-chain the jumps at the drive connectors with little loops. YOu could get a crimp 'splice' connector and bundle 4 wires and splice it down to a single wire, or you could get a little terminal strip and stick it off to the side. No right or wrong way really.


Your lists look good, nice work. small comment, I think your schematic a few posts up has the direction and +5v wires swapped.

When you get to the point of needing to setup the software side in UCCNC, your table/list will help alot and it will make sense, as you've listed what output is what signal for what axis, etc. Then as you get it setup and working, you'll want to make additional note of what is active low or not for certain signals, etc. Some of that will be easier to figure by trial / error while setting up.

If you haven't done so already, start making notes of your steps per units setting for each axis, etc from Mach3.

Got it all wired up . I can get the x y and z to move .
But I don't understand what pins and where to put stuff for spindle .

[eabrust]

Do you mean software setup or actual wiring of the spindle? Your last table posted showed O1 and O2 as being what you would use for direction and A1 for the speed. Those should be fine for wiring to.
