After reading through this thread and the X200 thread on CNCzone, I tried to setup modbus with no success. I get "time out received" everytime I try to read and write. I have everything turned on: Gecko G540 and X200 VFD. The 2.2 kw spindle is plugged into the VFD. Cat5 cable is plugged into the VFD and RJ45 Cat5 Ethernet adapter. Pin 5 of the RJ45 is connected to T+ and Pin 6 is connected to T- of the RJ485-RJ232 converter. VFD ground is connected to converter ground. Serial cable is connected from the converter and the PC.
Hitachi X200 setting is exactly the same as diyengineer suggested.
A001 = 03
A002 = 03
B089 = 01
C070 = 03
C071 = 06
C072 = 1
C074 = 00
C075 = 1
C076 = 02
C077 = 0
C078 = 0
I loaded the brain uploaded by diyengineer. Take a look at the attached pictures for the rest of my setting in Mach3 and Modbus. Spindle isn't moving. VFD stays at 0.0 Hz. I really have no idea what to do next. Can someone help me figure out what I need to do? Thanks.
