On Franco's diagram he connected the direction and speed signal to set of pins on controller. On my PM-30, I do not have the 7 pin connector, Did you wire the kbsi directly into the connections that went to the POT and DIRECTION switches?
Did you disable or bypass the power switch on the PM25. I noticed in your video the Green light on the switch is not on. Or maybe it just does not show up in the video. I am currently converting my PM25 and sort of want the CNC controller to turn the master switch.
How did you make the connections inside the pm25mv motor control box? Did you completely disconnect the potentiometer and connect the wires from the kbsi 240d to those wires? If so can you show the connections? The forward / reverse part is easy but the speed control part is where I'm not sure. Please help Thanks
James. I don't have any pictures or video of that part. What I did was find the correct plug wires coming off the pm25 board and I cut them in half and only connected the wires from the board to the wires that went to the board. That left me about 3" on each end incase I made a mistake. Did you download the diagram from Francos video?
@@ponydowncnc8365 no I didn't I will go look now and see if it makes it clear to me. By the way... I have enjoyed your videos. I am building one hell of a PM25mv I will post after the build is complete. My main concern was the wiring inside the PM25 and I don't think Franco covered the actual wire up. Thanks for your help so far.
@@jamesreed5226 yea between Francos video he posted and the diagram that guy made for him it was rather easy to get things working. I'll sub to you so I can check it out when it's done. I'm glad you have enjoyed the videos. Unfortunately I can do Videos much much better but I don't have the time. So some quickies are what I post. Lol
Maybe I missed it, and I am in the process of 'researching', but what tells the spindle to switch directions via that 10v pair of wires? I mean, the program calls to switch directions via M03, M04, and M05 - but I am trying to understand how it stops and switches directions. (I just ordered my Acorn, and trying to get all ducks in a row before it gets here)
My understanding is that the 0-10v comes from acorn and is adjusted in the board. From the board it will goto the machine for 0-5v. I also have 2 outputs on the relay board programmed for spindle forward and one for spindle reverse. Franco cnc on here does a better explanation and shows a wiring diagram. That's the same info I used.
@@ponydowncnc8365 ahhhh.. ok, I've seen some of his videos. I'll go check it out! Thanks! Ps, I do a lot of turbo fab work, and may or may not have a 7 sec fox body on my channel ;)
This is who I got my info from. He does a great job explaining it. He also has a link to a wiring diagram. That's exactly how I did my wiring. th-cam.com/video/-h4k-9qlTHo/w-d-xo.html

@@diygaragetx I'll have to check it out for sure. Just in case there is one. Wink wink
I totally missed the part about not having a VFD and a 3phase motor - Now it makes a lot more sense. I thought I might have been missing something!
@@diygaragetx yep. Just a stock 110 motor. In a video Franco said its easier with a vfd. So idk since I have not been down that road. Good luck!
Nice
Thanks. Any new add ons for you?
Can you make a tutorial on the wiring?
