I'm not familiar with it, but here is a cnczone thread I found that includes a pdf manual. It seems to have an 0-10V pot type of analog input that should be easy to connect to KSTEP's analog output.

Hi Tom, I didn’t see the attached thread. Can you resend. Also, so you wouldn’t recommend buying a 3.3 V LVTTL to RS-485 converter and go down the RS-485 path? Jack From: DynoMotion@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DynoMotion@yahoogroups.com]

Jack, Modbus is an option, however personally unless you really need to use it to change settings during normal use or you've simply ran out of suitable KStep outputs, I'd personally go the 0-10V route, along with an output or two to activate the VFD/change direction. Moray |

Hi Moray, Thanks for your response. After reading through both threads the 0-10V approach seems to be much simpler. Somewhere along the way I found a thread that referenced this interface board: http://www.cnc4pc.com/Store/osc/product_info.php?products_id=58 It sure seems to make the hardware side of things pretty straight forward. Do you know of any other interface boards that might be worth looking at? Jack From: DynoMotion@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DynoMotion@yahoogroups.com]

Jack,
You do realise the KStep has a 0-10v output built in via the additional header?

Jack, JP33 pins 5-7 are what you're looking for. Having just checked, the KStep doesn't actually provide the 10V, you need to source it from the VFD, but the KStep manual explains that. Moray |

Thanks Moray!! I kept looking at the Kflop and didn’t dig into the Kstep. This looks perfect. From: DynoMotion@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DynoMotion@yahoogroups.com]
