Finished Plugins for Download / Re: A new Huanyang VFD plugin

« on: October 02, 2013, 10:21:03 AM »

Hi!

First of all thanks for the pugin! It seems great but I'm still experience problems with it! Really need some opinions!

My situation is everything seems to be working fine, the plugin recognises the VFD (3000rpm @ 50Hz), if I start the spindle in mach3 with the spindle disconected everything works fine (display on the VFD is the same as in mach3). The problem is when I connect the spindle to the VFD, I can run it at very low speeds (700rpm works fine and the spindle is in fact working) but any speed above that (be it 800 or 8000rpm or whatever) I get a reset on mach 3 and a "dl" error on the VFD.

At first I imagined this was from noise as there are some reports here that talk a lot about similar problems, but now I have shielded cable from the rs485 to VFD and from VFD to Spindle, no difference whatsoever...

Any ideas?

(by the way, something that I think is not common is that my VFD displays in rotations per second, not rpm, but it seems to make the correction ok (600rpm in mach3 is displayed as 10rps in the VFD)

Hi!
I'm trying to use the pluggin to control my huanyang VFD 1.5kw and spindle from Mach3. Here's my problem, I followed all the instruction and my spindle runs up to 200rpm listed 3.33 rotations per second on my vfd display. more than that and I get an E/stop and 'driver watchdog trigered' message.
Can anyone help?

Also if I go to the 'spindle callibration' menu I can't control the spindle and it doesn't recognize when the spindle is running!

by the way thanks for all the great posts
