My understanding is limited and I am guessing that frequency output to pulse input do not coincide. The spindle speed is not correlating to the rpm selected. The only way I was able to get the motor to work is with the Pulse input. My understanding is that the N3 VFD spindle speed can be controlled via external source with either and anlog 0-10v input or Pulse Input. I am currently running PathPilot 2.7 with ECM v1.4 board and Teco N3 vfd. Hope someone can help me out understand how PathPilot ver 2.7 controls spindle speed with Tormach's ECM v1.4 board.
