BB controller is able to communicate with EM60 VFD (when looking at status/speed) but Spindle does not start when sending Gcode like “M3 S10000”

On EM60 VFD, I did select the “Communication Control” as operation control mode (Setup P0.0.03 set to 2)

When selecting the “Keyboard Control” (Setup P0.0.03 set to 0), I’m able to start the spindle pressing on the “start” button.

P0003 should be 2  
P0004 should be 9

After that, i would check your buildbotics configuration.

If that doesnt work, create an ticket by sending a video demonstration to [support@pwncnc.com](mailto:support@pwncnc.com)

Thanks a lot Chris

I works now!

I had 2 issues.  
First, I was trying command “M3 S1000” and not “M3 S10000” as stated above and this speed was bellow the minimum (6000) set in EM60 configuration.  
Then, it was starting but not with requested speed. For this one, your setup “P0004=9” helped me.  
Thanks again.
