ordered! Please allow some shipping time and I can tell you that I will make it work I don't care what it takes! if I have to point at it and wag my finger aggressively at it I will do it I suspect next week I should see it .

Thanks
Brian

looks like I will have my VFD on the 4th if the shipping lie is correct.

Lets hope it comes prepared to have a finger wagged at it!

I got a spindle to test it with... MAN that was fast! I will have wires in the spindle waiting for a dump electrons from the VFD ! This thing is small for 2.2kw, 3HP of pure fun!
I have a Germo usb to 422/485 converter somewhere here that I will use in my test as well.

Waiting like a kid for Xmas

The VFD is in and we are starting to setup the test. I am using the opportunity to teach but will also give the settings here. I did get a cheaper 485 converter as an alternative so we can have a budget friendly option.

Trying not to forget anything here.

I’m looking forward to seeing how you get on - I still haven’t managed to get modbus talking to the vfd, and haven’t found any more info on the address registers.

The manual for the drive is not great but I will crack it

Well that is nonstandard Modbus... I am not impressed! I am looking into what we need to change to be able to talk to the drive. More later

Well after digging on the web we have found the docs for the VFD. We are going to make a new plugin for the drive because everyone seems to be using this drive! They are not great but they seem good enough LOL.

I hope we can test this in the week to come.
More when I know more

Hi,
HuanYang are famous for having non-Modbus compliant comms, that's the reason for the special plugin in Mach3
for these VFDs.

The manufacturers must have taken a lot of heat over the non standard comms because they have released later models
which are compliant.....just they are more expnsive....so people still buy the el-cheap ones with this result.

I'll try to find the model identifier, its something like HuanYang nnnn.GM, with the GM, or some other accronym signaling
compliance with the Modbus standard.
