    Default Mach3 spindle speed problem

    Have a cnc router with mach3 and a ess smoothstepper interface, windows 7.

    I just finished changing it over to a 2,2k spindle and a Huanyang VFD, It has a USB rs485 connection
    between the computer and the VFD. All is working fine, except for one thing.
    The spindle will not start yet by clicking on the spindle start button so

    I start mach 3 and go into MDI and type S10000 & return then go to regular screen and I can turn on the spindle and
    change speeds just fine, So I save settings. Also the spindle will run from the pendant ok.

    Then I shut off mach3. When I start up mach3 again I need to go back and reenter the S10000
    again before I can start the spindle again.

    Is this normal or do I have something missing or configured wrong ?????

    So you are using Modbus to control the spindle, if the VFD is setup Programed correctly, you can not normally use the KeyPad on the VFD to Start it, you can stop it from the KeyPad though

    Enter S10000 in the Initialization String in General Config.
