I purchased the 4.0kw spindle and VFD a while back, and have just installed a PMDX-107 controller... do you have any examples of the wiring connections for the SL-240EE to PMDX-107?

If you want speed control, it is recommended to use the RS-485 connection on the VFD and use the control program such as Mach3 to communication serially with the VFD using this RS-485 connection. If you would rather use a controller such as the PMDX-107 to simulate the effect of a potentiometer using the Aref, Aout and Agnd and the Rev/Dir and Fwd/Run terminals to control operation and direction, you can connect those to the VFD. PMDX-107 Aout connects to the VI (analog voltage in). This is like the wiper on a potentiometer. PMDX-107 Agnd connects to the ACM terminal on the VFD for Analog common. PMDX-107 COM connects to DCM terminal on the VFD for Digital common. PMDX-107 Fwd/Run connects to the FOR terminal on the VFD for Forward. PMDX-107 Rev/Dir connects to the REV terminal on the VFD for Reverse. Refer to your PMDX-107 manual to correctly configure your dip switch settings and make sure to calibrate (tweak) the speed control using the trimmer next to the terminals on the PMDX-107.
