Ethercat GA500 or V1000 on an RPKM

If you run across one of these and don't know how to set it up, this worked for me.


Make sure that Modbus control is disabled on V1000_0 in the MM plugin!


Set the up the VFD as shown here, Use RPM instead of percentage

Spindle Calibration

All the instructions for spindle calibration can be found in VFD - Spindle Calibration

Check out the VFD section of the 2000 Series RapidPath Operating Manual. I found it quite helpful.
