Yes I have made the following connections
22 - SPINDLE- to COM
23 - SPINDLE OUT to AI1
24 - SPINDLE+ to +10v
and
S1 --> OUT4A
OUT4B --> COM
S2 --> OUT5A
OUT5B --> COM
So with this done, I set Spindle PWM as in the below picture but the spindle doesn't move when I run the config and try the + and - buttons for the spindle. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You still need to connect OUT4 and OUT5 to the appropriate
spindle pins in hal (via the TB3 tab in pncconf)

Omg it worked!!! Thank you so much PCW not only did you spoon feed me on how to get my 7i96s to run my spindle but you also helped me get all my steppers working with the BoB. Thank you so much

Hello everyone,
I am also trying to connect the Mesa7i96s card to a Y620-A VFD.
I connected the pins as mentioned in the post above
22 - SPINDLE- to COM
23 - SPINDLE OUT to AI1
24 - SPINDLE+ to +10 V
S1 --> OUT4A
OUT4B --> COM
S2 --> OUT5A
OUT5B --> COM
The M3, M4 and M5 commands work, but I can't control the speed.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Milko

Can you post your hal and ini files?

I don't see anything obvious wrong in the hal/ini files.
What is the actual issue with the spindle speed?
You might need to measure the 7I96S Spindle+ and Spindle output vs Spindle-
at various spindle speeds to track down the issue.
It might also be a VFD setup issue. (if the voltages are correct but the VFD does not respond)

Ciao e grazie per il tuo aiuto.
In teoria, ho impostato i parametri del VFD come segue:
P00.01 1
P00.08 3
Ho trovato questi valori online, ma a quanto pare non sono sufficienti.
Quali altri controlli potrei fare? La velocità sembra essere impostata su un valore e non riconoscere i comandi in MDI.
Durante il test, sembra essere impostato sulla velocità massima.
In effetti, trovo 9,9 volt tra GND e pin 10V.
Grazie
Milko

As setup, if you have 10V on Spindle+ (7I96S TB3.24) and you run s1000M3
in MDI, you should get +5V measured from Spindle-Out (7I96 STB3.23)
to Spindle- (7I96S TB3.22)
(you do have to home the machine before MDI will work)
I would verify this before worrying about the VFD setup
