Did you have the spindle fault enabled or disabled?

If you had it enabled you would have had to do this to your VFD: [VFD Parameter Changes - EX Controller Technical Manual](https://www.avidcnc.com/support/instructions/electronics/ex/manual/ex_vfd_update/)

There are dip switches or jumpers on your servo connector board in the control box that allow you to select if you want VFD faults to halt the system…

> **[Servo Boards with DIP Switches - System Settings - EX Controller Technical...](https://www.avidcnc.com/support/instructions/electronics/ex/manual/servo/24.1/systemSettings/#servo-boards-with-dip-switches)**

This only works if you VFD has been programmed with the above link.
