Below is a first shot at my CNC machine rebuild wiring diagram. It contains a C11S parrallel port breakout board from CNC4PC. 3 KL-9082 Stepper Motor Drives from Keling. An Allen Bradely VFD drive to provide variable speed to the spindle driver. I am controlling incoming power to the VFD with a relay. The coil will power from the system 'master power'. The enable input on all drives and the breakout board will be de-energized using an E-Stop. Not sure about this configuration yet. Diagram does not show any limits yet.

VFD Spindle Drive
My new mill has a 3 phase spindle motor. I cannot get 3 phase where I live (without significant expense). I looked into using a 7.5HP 3 phase motor I already have to create a rotory phase converter. They sell pre-assembled 'control panels' which include capacitors and relays required to produce 3 phase power when wired to a motor. While looking at these panels I came across an Allen Bradley VFD which can use single phase source to drive a 3 phase motor. In addition to this conversion it will allow the ability to control spindle speed electronically. After some research and shopping I purchased a Allen-Bradley 22F-A011N103 VFD for $125. This unit should allow easy connection to my new PC Based CNC System (Software: Mach 3). Many of the 'breakout boards' for PC CNC controls have a 0-10VDC speed control output and a dual relay configuration that can automatically activate using only two pins.. See preliminary wiring diagram.

Tri-onics Handyman CNC Knee Mill
Purchased an older 'CNC' mill. The unit functions manually (if I had 3 phase power) and the CNC portion was considered non-functional. Plan is to re-enable the cnc through pc control.
