    Wiring a C10 to C6 to KBIC controller and Mach3

    I am trying to figure out how to do my wiring between a C10 BOB, to the C6 spindle speed control board, to the KBIC controller.

    It looks like from the CNC4PC website, that the C6 to the KBIC controller is pretty straightforward, they show the following:

    From C6:

    Output GND to KBIC P1
    Output 0-10V to KBIC P2
    Relay1 Vcc in to KIBIC I2
    Relay1 EN/CCW/NC to KBIC I1

    Those are the only connections from the diagram they are showing, so relay 2 is not used.

    I cannot seem to find anything on going from the C10 to the C6.

    Has anyone wired a C10 or alike to a C6 to a KBIC who can help me out with this? The documentation I am finding is terrible.

    Not sure of thr notation you have for I1 & I2? There should only be contact closure across both, no other voltage imposed.
    In this case, just a relay contact to disable the drive.

    Im not sure what the I's and the P's stand for on the KBIC to be honest. I am taking it from this wiring diagram on the CNC4PC site:

    Would you do this a different way?

    P1 is the input common and P2 is the 0-10vdc analogue voltage input from the Mach PWM to analogue convertor.
    The I1 & I2 is the drive Inhibit, that is usually used to inhibit the drive while the motor leads are reversed when using M3 and M4 in a program.
    I1 & I2 reset the drives to avoid reversing in fwd to rev in full voltage.
    It looks like the link shows switching the drive off with the I1,I2 instead of dropping the main power?

    Check page 9 of the manual:

    http://cnc4pc.com/Tech_Docs/C6R6_2_USER_MANUAL.pdf

    It shows the pinout of the RJ45. Page 7 also shows the ports and pins screen in mach3.

    You could look at the RJ45 breakouts to track down what pins are connected where.
