Nope - just makes it easier to wire.

which settings are correct??

cambosoup99 settings:


A001- 00
A002 – 02
A004- 400HZ (THIS NEEDS TO BE SET FIRST, BEFORE THE VFD WILL LET YOU CHANGE A003
A003 – 400Hz
A061 – 400HZ
A062 – 0 (THIS THE LOWEST FREQUENCY THAT YOU WANT YOUR SPINDLE TO RUN, YOUR CHOICE, I’M USING 0 FOR FULL RANGE)
A082 – 230V
A151- 0
A152 – 400HZ
A153 – 0
A154 – 100
A155 - 00
B012 – 10 (8 TO 10 AMPS DEPENDING ON YOUR SPINDLE)
H003 – 2.2 KW (this is your spindle kw rating)
H004 - 2 poles


or these ones suggested by diyengineer.


A001 = 03
A002 = 03
B089 = 01
C070 = 03
C071 = 06
C072 = 1
C074 = 00
C075 = 1
C076 = 02
C077 = 0
C078 = 0


I load a Gcode and run it and the VFD doesnt show the frecuency change



thanks

Up and running Hitachi X200 thru Mach3 ( Modbus ). Having 2 issues.... First issue is on rpm setting in mach3 does on match hz setting on VFD ( 12000rpm shows 280hz on vfd ) My second issue is, how can you delay z axis from dropping down to start cutting ( as the spindle motor is not up to full rpm yet )

Not sure about the first issue, maybe set up a scaling factor in the drive parameters ? ? ?

2nd issue, Config/Ports and Pins/ Spindle Setup/ Set the Spinup delay accordingly.

First issue resolved itself, thanks for the information on setting up the delay.

That's good to hear, happy to help.

Just wanted to follow up that you can use USB to Serial converter as long as it is isolated.  I used http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0093QEOJ0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I know its spendy, but this allows me to use my laptop for controlling the x200 using the settings here.  Works perfect.  I tried two other usb to serial converters and they did not work.
