    g540 complete wiring

    hello..
    just receive 3 axis kit from keling yesterday..
    after study wiring diagram from keling, i can't understand about relay and vfd drive, how many volt power supply i need for relay? what relay and vfd drive actually use for?

    my kit come with 3 nema 34 stepper, what kind of resistor to use?

    Thanks...

    Bel630, are you talking current set resistors for the steppers and the G540? The voltage supply for the relays (coolant, vacuum whatever) is any voltage between 0 & 50vdc if I remember correctly.

    What steppers did you get from Keling? Model #?

    That is a 3.5 amp stepper according to the specs. It might not need a current set resistor at all, but I would confirm it before I went direct.

    no need current set resistor? that mean just ignore pin 1 & pin 5?

    This was answered by someone else in another thread, they suggested a 3.48k resistor. The max output on any axis with a G540 is 3.5a so I thought maybe it wasnt needed. I think my idea was wrong

    that would be me ! in my reply to:-

    Current Set Resistor?


    as I read the info from Gecko the maximum current out is 3.5A
    but without the resistor ,the current isn't reduced with the drive idle

    from the manual:-

    "your motor is rated at 3.5A or above you can safely not use a current set resistor; however, your
    G540 will not go into current standby mode which will result in increased motor heating."

    thanks for your info.. unfortunately 3.48K 1% resistor like hard to find.. can i use below 3.48k?

    yes

    if you use 3.3k resistors you will have an output of 3.3 A
    which is about 95% of the 3.5A maximum

    if you need an output closer to 3.5A
    either use a 3.3K resistor and a 180 ohm in series

    or if you have a number of 3.3K 5% resistors you could select
    resistors at the upper limit 3.300K x 1.05 = 3.465K

    Best solution I found to the 3K5 resistor is purchasing 3K9 and 33K resistors and putting them in parallel, it gives you 3.48K pretty close using cheap and readily available regular resistors.
