Question #: 13375 Question: How to configure 2.2KW VFD for Modbus communication with Mach3 Current Solution It is possible to connect and configure the spindle VFD to the mach3 via an RS485 communication and protocol. The first thing you will need is the dynamic link library to pair with mach3 called the Huanyang VFD Mach3 PlugIn. You will first need to derive the number of turns per inch that your lead screw produces. If there is only a single start (typical all thread screws), then the turns per inch is the same as TPI (threads per inch). If there is multiple starts, then the number of starts is divided by the TPI to determine the turns per inch. For example, 10 TPI with 5 starts is 10 / 5 = 2 turns per inch. Now that we know this, we can get the number of steps per inch as described in the previous question: take the number of steps per revolution that the motor will output.
1-1 Chapter 1 Introduction to CNC Systems This chapter introduces you to terminology used in the rest of this manual and explains the purpose of. Nov 4, 2018 - Software: Mach3 and Sheetcam, Inventor 2019 for serious design work and Inkscape for signs. And reliance on the developer to develop the plugins capabilities dispite. I finished the test with ESS and stick to the serial port for plasma. Graphics Suite ↳ Adobe Illustrator ↳ Inkscape ↳ Mach3 CNC.
This will be the number of full steps that you motor produces (typically 200, or 1.8 degrees per step) multiplied by the microstepping per step to which the driver is configured. Simply multiple the number of turns per inch and the number of steps per revolution and you will get the steps per inch. Ok, lets see the formula: 200 steps. 16 microsteps. 2 turns per inch = 6400 steps per inch Additional Information: 14798 Additional Information: hallo i have cnc with ball screw 2.5mm of pith.n driver stepping 1/16 how to setup step value Additional Information: i have ball screw with 2.5 mm of pith n 1 start motor 200 step 1/16 driver stepping Click the link to respond:. First, you will need to know the pitch of the roller chain, or timing belt.
For example, #25 roller chain is.25' (1/4') pitch and #40 roller chain is.5' (1/2') pitch. Timing belts are similar and you will need to search the specifications of your particular drive pulley pitch. Take this pitch and multiply this with the number of teeth on the drive pulley/sprocket.
This will give you the number of inches around the pulley/sprocket. Now, take the number of steps per revolution that the motor will output. This will be the number of full steps that you motor produces (typically 200, or 1.8 degrees per step) multiplied by the microstepping per step to which the driver is configured. Divide this number by the inches that was calculated from the drive pulley/sprocket. Here is an example: If the motor produces 200 steps per revolution and I am driving it at 1/16 microstepping and my sprocket pitch is.25' with 9 teeth, my formula would be: (200 steps. 16 microsteps) / (.25 inches.
9 teeth) = 3200 steps per revolution / 2.25 inches = 1422.222 steps per inch Click the link to respond:. The redLeaf CNC computer systems will have either Mach3 or LinuxCNC installed as per the customer's request. If the Mach3 license is purchased, the license file will also be installed on the redLeaf CNC computer system. The Mach3 or LinuxCNC settings will be configured during the assembly of the system. We contact the customer to determine the drive (mechanics) and inertial (weight of gantry and other parts of the gantry) specifications in order to correctly configure the steps per inch, velocity and acceleration.

The first thing you will need is the dynamic link library to pair with mach3 called the Huanyang VFD Mach3 PlugIn. I noticed in the Computer CNC Systems of this webpage that Linux/EMC2 (now called LinuxCNC) is available on the preconfigured systems. The wording on the CNC Machines page makes it look like Windows7 is all that is available. So thats the best I can see for now as far as clarity.
Yes, if the redLeaf or redSprout is purchased with the machine, we can completely configure the electronics to use Ubuntu and Linuxcnc. If windows is selected, we install Windows 7 and completely configured under Mach3. If Windows is not selected, we assume Ubuntu/Linuxcnc, but we always contact the customer to confirm in these cases. Click the link to respond:. The easy way is to use Mach3's calibration process to calibrate the axis with the ballscrew coupled to the stepper motor. This is done in the settings tab of Mach3 and clicking the button just above the 'Reset' button called 'Set Steps Per Unit'.
A dialog box will appear asking how far you want Mach3 to move that axis. Mach3 will move that axis at a distance that is determined by the existing steps per unit value set in the motor tuning dialog box (config menu - motor tuning). Not knowing the distance that this axis will travel, it's best to use a very small value. The more difficult way and the technique that should be used to create the initial value for the step per unit in the motor tuning dialog box.
Use the steps/unit formula. This example will use inches. Steps/Inch = ((motor natural steps) x microsteps) / (the travel for one complete revolution) The travel for one revolution would be the distance a ball nut will travel with one complete turn of the ball screw. This is generally the number of starts / threads per inch. Say the ball screw has 5 starts (5 threads starting from the beginning of the screw) and 10 threads per inch (TPI), then the travel for one complete turn of the screw would be 5/10, or 1/2'.
Say you set the microstepping to be 1/4 on the stepper motor driver and your stepper motor has 200 natural steps per revolution (1.8 degrees per step), then the total steps would be 200 x 4 = 800. So, the steps/inch is 800 / 1/2' = 1600 steps per inch Hope that helps Click the link to respond:.

We have manuals for the VFD rather than the spindles. Can you specify what issue you may be having so we can help you better? Additional Information: I am having trouble wiring the VFD.
(From the wall outlet to the VFD) I think the manual or setup guide on your website is wrong. The two diagrams show two different sets of terminals on the page. Also, do you have a video or other documentation on programming the VFD? Your videos and documentation looks like it only covers the 1.2kw version.
Are the two different spindles from different manufacturers? Click the link to respond:.

The below information is for your convenience; however, please seek the guidance of a professional electrician that is experienced with VFDs and electrical motors of this type. A VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) for CNC Spindles that have input terminals labeled R, S and T will typically use the R and T for the Black (live) and White (neutral) connections and the PE (protective earth) will connect to ground (green). Check this image for reference: With the YL600-2S VFD, we have found that the R and S terminals are used where the R is live and S is neutral. Connect the PE to the green ground connection.
