Help needed to get my 7i76E + 7i85S + 7i73 on my mill going.

Yesterday shows a spindle speed command of 101 and a spinout of 101. And a matching voltage.
Today shows a spindle speed command of 1400 but does not show the spinout number. We need to know if that is 101 or 1400 to know where the problem lies.
It could well be due to the minlim and maxlim parameters. Which is why I asked about them.

I am trying to help other people too. I lose track of who has what hardware. Sorry.

No 5i25 !! 7i76E

Where are these parameters?

Look in the "parameters" section of "Show HAL config"

spinout minlim 0
spinout maxlim 100
spinout scale 2000
spinout maxlim 100
spinout scale 2000

Well, there you are then! That is why you only get 100 rpm output.
You need ain the HAL file in the same place as where you set the scale.
You need a
setp ....spinout-maxlim 2000

Thank you very much Andy one very happy camper here now.
Your help is very much appreciated.

I have now made course adjustment of scale to 1200 so true rpm is very close.
Giving M3 S50 gives 46rpm.
Question, spindle encoder is showing approx 3000/3200 for velocity, where do I scale this?

There should be an encoder scale parameter (look in HAL config for the exact name) and you can "setp" this to the correct counts-per-rev.
If you are planning to use the spindle for tapping etc then the scale needs to give 1 revolution output per actual revolution. However if you only want it to monitor spindle speed then you can multiply the scale by 60 to get an revs-per-minute rather than rev-per-second output in the velocity.
If you do want to use spindle-synched motion then the factor of 60 needs to be in a HAL "scale" component.

Will put encoder aside a while as I just realized that Z puls is not working.
Back to the spindle as there are problems still or should I say need of improvements.
I have a 2-speed 3-phase motor with 1400/2850 rpm = Output 10 controls this.
As a first step I need to have monitoring of true rpm and make a switch to high rpm at say 800rpm.
How can this be done?
When I get the milling machine going I will make further improvement on controlling gearbox as I can not get good enough torque just by letting VFD go to lower revs so the gearbox is very well needed working with large milling cutters.
Looks like this
So I need to make a *reader* for the gearshift A-B-C-D-E as well as the Hi/Lo lever on the side.
All to be set manually but halting spindle for gear change to appropriate rpm.
setp hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-scalemax 1200
setp hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.spinout-maxlim 2500
Above is obviously not correct as I can not get more than 1200rpm
Encoder is a must to monitor velocity but how to implement this so the speed shift can be accomplished?
This setup was working in my previous life with other system.
Any help to get me in the right direction is most welcome.
Cheers
Bengt
