Trouble Controlling VFD from X-Controller

Hi all. I’m trying to control a Huanyang 1.5kW VFD and 800W spindle on my X-Carve from the X-Controller. I can confirm that the VFD will turn on and control the spindle - manually. I currently have the 0-10 spindle control on the Controller to the VI on the VFD, and the Ground on the controller to the ACM on the VFD. M3 and S commands in the Machine Inspector in Easel don’t seem to do anything. Machine settings are below. Any thoughts on what I’m missing??

Machine Settings:
Easel set to control spindle through hardware, 24V DC Spindle, and Default Spindle RPM @ 8000 rpm.

Bump.

Can anyone help with this? Not really sure what I’m missing and there appear to be no definitive guides showing the settings to use on the controller or VFD for this, just bits and pieces scattered throughout the web.

Watched the video, but did not see anything useful there. It’s a totally different VFD with different settings, etc. that I don’t think translate well to this one.

On my Setup the Speed is controlled via the 0-10V Connector whereas its On / Off States are done via the M8 Flood Coolant Connector with the help of a 5V Relay to open or close the Line in the VFD responsible for turning it On / Off.

There’s also the need - in Fusion 360 - for the Tool to have Flood Cooling associated to it:

Just checking… You don’t have the comma in your actual setting, right?
And what’s your PD001 value?

Edit:
And… I see this is a pretty old thread so I hope you figured it out by now.
