Subject: Having problem with Kcnc spindle speed
I have been trying to get the spindle speed for DAC7 to update, but to no avail. I can set it manually in the console with DAC7=int, but when I try to set it from Kcnc I get nothing. The only way I can get the DAC to set a value is to change the scale. When I give a "S" spindle speed command, it only changes to the value set in the scale.

Here are the values I am working with.

spindle is on DAC 7 -2047 or +10.000vDC = 11500 rpm.

In tool setup screen: S>DAC setDAC=7 scale= -0.178 offset= 0 min= -2047 max=0

Exactly how does the S DAC tool setup work in Kcnc? Do I have to right a script?

Hi Aaron,
 
That is a bug.  Here is a patch for V4.23.  Download and over write the file of the same name in the <install>\KMotion\Release directory
 

Or another workaround would be to set the DAC with a C Program.

Success. I thought I was doing something wrong.

After all this I think I may need to write ( I know I spelled it correctly this time) a simple program to continue after the spindle has gotten to speed through a digital input. But, I sincerely thank you for such a swift reply and fix.

Best regards,
Aaron Scott
