Wiring Up A VFD Alarm to E-Stop Mach3

Description of the problem:

I would like for Mach3 to E-Stop when a VFD alarm occurs.

Solution:

To set this up, follow these steps:

 1. Run a wire from A on the VFD to an input on the breakout board \(X0 is not available\)

 2. Run a wire from C on the VFD to C0+ \(24V bus\) on the breakout board

 3. Set the input port/pin address used in 

Ports and Pins

to an Input or OEM Trig

 4. Press \[**OK**\]

 5. In the MachMotion plugin \(under **Config -> Config Plugins**\), set the user defined message to E-Stop and deliver the         desired message when the above specified Input or OEM Trig is activated \(ex. "VFD Alarm Fault"\)

 6. Press \[**SAVE**\]
