HI, I'm Joe. I was previously using Delta VFDs. Never had a problem with them connecting using RS485. And then last week I got an offer for a Chinese spindle along with a controller at "Hard to believe" :2tsup: price on ebay. The spindle is a 2.2kW water cooled and came with a Huanyang HY02D223B VFD.
Thanks to friends here I have set up the VFD and the spindle now works like a charm. But the RS485 comm is starting to make me go bald :doh:. My VFD has all the parts (RS485 Chip and the relays n everything. No parts are missing)
I could start, stop, increase/decrease speed using Spindle Talker. But somehow the Mach3 Huanyang Plugin just won't connect:no:.
- .net Framework 3.5 is installed
- plugin is installed as per the manual and Mach3 restarted (It is showing the config window but the parameter values are both 99)
- VFD settings are as folows:
PD001 - 2
PD002 - 2
PD163 - 1
PD164 - 1
PD165 - 3
Does anyone have a condition similar to this where Spindle Talker works but the plugin wont?
I have another doubt. Maybe I'm wrong but the drive kinda looks "Legit" . I mean It has stickers with the company name and rating and even a hallmark and also came with the latest Huanyang Manual. Most of my friends who had got VFDs from china earlier got them with just a small sticker saying "2.2kW" and most of them had atleast one part missing. So does this mean this is a newer VFD from the same manufacturer with probably a different firmware?
Please Advice!
Joe! :)
