Ok I think I got it now. On the Gecko G540 manual, in the suggested wiring diagram, it specifies a Relay power supply with two dc relay coils. Do I need that? What is that for? They connect to pins 5 and 6. Will pins 7,8, and 9 if connected to my X2 motor control actually control my spindle speed with mach 3? I think I asked this already but didn't get any clear answers.  |

The relay's are optional, they could be used to control a coolant pump or a simple enable/disable spindle motor etc... You may be able to use the VFD output for your X2, the Gecko VFD connection would take the place of the potentiometer on the X2. I am not sure which one of the wires on the pot is the output though. The attached video is informative. Jeff...

| Well I got all the motors turning fine in mach3. I used the G540 presets. Has the steps at 20000 and they seem to turn pretty slow. Anyone know the ideal settings for the 387 motors with the cnc fusion ballscrew upgades. I'm referring here to steps, velocity, acceleration under the motor tuning page. |
