A new wrinkle

The spindle was working fine.  We ran five parts one day and three the next.  Then the estop started kicking out on the machine.  I try to start the spindle in MDI and the spindle jerks and then the estop message comes on in mach3.  If I run the spindle using the test mode switch the spindle starts and runs just fine.

What's so frustrating is it was working.

Steve the cat had many a story to tell but it was a rare occasion such as this that he did.  What a story it is.  Your instructions worked like a charm. Thank you, you magnificent feline administrative avatar of electronics.  The machine is up and running everyone is happy.  Once everything is dialed in I'll post some picks on the show off thread.  Again thank you for your help.

I'm trying to wire a PMDX-107 to a brushless motor from Anaheim automation. Im using an MDC300-120151 series brushless controller for the motor.  Any help would be appreciated.  I've attached the user's guide.  Wiring example is on page 10.  I need the PMDX-107 to control the speed and switch the motor from forward to reverse.

thanks
