Re: 6040 CNC VFD settings?
Indeed, it does work. The boards seem to be identical. Whoever is making this PRT-E1500, they've made the same in any 6040's labeled with JD Inverter on their spindle controls. Mine is also wired similarly, once I figured out AVI was a 0-10V input.
A place to look at might be those 4 pads to the immediate right of that hex inverter logic chip and below the microcontroller.
I can't see any other place the RS485 might be available other than the front panel headers which the LED display plugs into. If you have an O-scope you might see what kind of signal is happening on those pads. Voltage differences on the A/B terminals should be +/- 200mV, if it is using RS485.

Would you be willing to share your LinuxCNC settings? Perhaps both machine definition files?

Re: 6040 CNC VFD settings?
I have found the settings manual for PRT-750 & PRT-1500W VFDs.
Re: 6040 CNC VFD settings?
[QUOTE=CodeBuster;2096022]Hey guys, thanks for posting the PDF version of the manual. It makes things much clearer.
CHIMERA1960, you said you had contacted a manufacturer of the board and that they were in Singapore. Can you tell me about this VFD board maker? I'm interested in the RS485 aspects of the board, and the manual isn't too detailed. For more info on RS485, it says to contact them on their "website", which obviously isn't linked in the document.
Is it the same boards as the JD inverter that windom46 posted the manual for?[/QUOTE]
There are ic's missing on the board near rs+ & rs- which are for rs485. I think there should be 2 opti-isolators and 2 resistors. I don't know what values they should be though.
Re: 6040 CNC VFD settings?
Hello everyone, I finally managed to set the spindle speed also from Gcode and I briefly list the steps.
I use LinuxCNC and these are the settings working with Stepconf:
pin 1 = PWM spindle, invert popped
pin 2 to 9 = 4 axes (XYZA)
pins 14 and 16 unused
pin 17 = Amplifier Enable
pin 10 = Estop In
pin 11 = probe
pin 12/13/15 = limit switch sensors
Spindle configuration
PWM Rate = 100
Speed1 = 0
Speed2 = 24000
PWM1 = 0
PWM2 = 1
I do not know if everything is set as originally, but after almost 2 years of hard work is back to work ****** ALL BIG !!!

[QUOTE=Starnovice;2133897]Where did you find it and how can I get a copy?[/QUOTE]
It is attached to the post in a rar archive.
I don't remember where i found it either, but it is here now!
Re: 6040 CNC VFD settings?
[QUOTE=RoddQLD;1949542]As written in my first post "I have a 6040 CNC with the VFD and control box as shown in the attached photo. (mine has PRT-E1500W written above the LED display)."
I made sure that I didn't import my CNC machine and bought it from an Australian seller/importer because if it is sold within Australia it is covered by Australian consumer laws.
We have a Department of fair trading that enforces consumer rights. I have been involved with them before and they can be very serious people when you are on the wrong side of them and my business was located 300 km's away from our major city. There is a minimum warranty period for all new goods sold in Australia. Ultimately, it doesn't matter at this stage as I am only asking that someone can jot down (or compare) the settings that I have given.
As an electrician and computer technician I am happy to evaluate whether the settings may apply. If someone gives me the settings from the same machine and only one setting appears out of whack then I have something to work with.
At the moment I have a brand new machine sitting here that I cannot use at all and it may just be due to one of those settings.[/QUOTE]
I know this is an old post but both eBay and Paypal have now become a law unto themselves and to hell with Fair Trading NSW. I'm in western Sydney, same scenario except the seller is happy to now give me a refund providing I send it back to China?? I bought the damn thing from a suburb not 15 minutes from me but nope if I want my money back I have to float up a wallet full of money to ship it to China registered post!!

Re: 6040 CNC VFD settings?
Hi, I am new also and I have bought a 800W 4axis CNC 3040T machine and I have it all working on Mach3 but not the spindle. I am having trouble working out the settings for the controller box. I too have changed the settings and now I can't get back to the original. I have the list of settings and I can set it all back to default but it always comes back to 50.00 on the screen. Manually this setting 50.00 will run the spindle only for a few seconds.
Can anyone help?
What am I missing?
Thanks
