Parallel Port breakout boards, motherboards, and dedicated accessories / PMDX-107 connected to Teco-L510

« on: April 27, 2020, 10:25:13 AM »

I got my 107 last week and started hooking it up this morning.  I'm to section 2, #6 - "apply power".  Since I'm wiring my first VFD here I thought I'd get a double check before I crank on the juice.

What I have

107                             VFD

Agnd                          AGND
Aout                           AVI
Aref
COM                           COM
Fwd/Run                     S1
Rev/Dir                       S2




VFD manual here - https://www.tecowestinghouse.com/Manuals/L510_instruction_manual.pdf
My main reference pages are 3-10 and 4-11

VFD is connected to motor and works fine using built in keypad.

PMDX-126 is all wired up and working fine moving all axis.


Just looking for a sanity check.  Don't want to burn anything up.

Thanks in advance!

Parallel Port breakout boards, motherboards, and dedicated accessories / PMDX 126 test mode appears to not work - or I'm an idiot :)

Finally got all my parts about 2 months ago and have been slowly pecking away at mounting and wiring and have hit a snag.

I'm following the manual step by step and got to 2.6 which is the test section and it refers me to 5.4.

Prior to pressing the TEST button
Power LED - on
Outputs Enabled LED - on
all other LED's - off

Press and hold
Power LED - on
Outputs Enabled LED - off
Status LED - on
E-Stop LED - on
all other LED's - off

Release button
Power LED - on
Outputs Enabled LED - on
Status LED - off
E-Stop LED - off
RST LED - on for about 1 second and then off
all other LED's - off

On reading, I'm under the impression that the STEPS LED should flicker and I don't get that.  Undeterred, I hooked up one of the Gecko drivers to see what would happen and got nothing as well. 

What am I doing wrong?
Should the E-stop LED come on in test mode and if not what could cause that?
