6040 cnc PRT-E1500W vfd settings.

[nheydari]

Here's the video of what's happening, included is the shudder worthy noise the spindle makes.

Hello!

I have the exact same problem. I think it started as soon as I set d176 to 1.

Please tell me you figured it out? Please let me know!

Thanks

[nheydari]

Well the reason you see the 50.00 flashing is because you reset the VFD to factory settings. By the way did you download the prt-e1500w translated manual from this site go find it and look it over, I posted it the other day?

So now what you have to do is start inputting data from scratch, first you need to go to d001 and change it, its currently at 0 and needs to be set to no. 1 to make changes to the current "d" settings list.
Then as Greg pointed out there is a sequence you have to follow to input data correctly, once you understand this and remember it has to be in that order, it will get easier as I found out from the beginning. Then using all of Greg's info input the data, when your done inputting the data correctly you can then hit the function button and it will reset to green meaning you've input all the correct data and the VFD now knows it has enough data to start safely.

The VFD will change the flashing zeros and lock to a steady list of zeros and stay that way.You have completed the basic reset of the VFD all inputs have taken. If you see the 50.00 flashing on the screen your still at the basic reset values that are flashing. You have to put in all the correct ones before it clears. So you really have to pay attention to what's happening so you don't mess up the inputs or you'll miss one and that's not a good thing, then once your sure you have it
reset d001 to zero which now locks all the values you put in because if you don't then you or someonelse can change the values at ant time till you lock it up with the d001 reset to "0" its gonna take a little getting use too and please read the manual first, give it a go good luck,

P.s using these settings and making some adjustments I now have my system up and running as of yesterday with the mach3 program controlling the spindle speed, I still need to make some adjustments in my opinion but hay its more then I had 4 weeks ago, nothing but flashing zeros and no idea why, straight out of the boxmachono info at all till I came here, the instant I turned it on it was flashing zeros and would not lock to green when I hit the function key, it will once you get the inputs correct.

Later CHIMERA1960

Thank you for this information!! It solved my problem.

I remember having the entering 400 long back when I did mine, it is tricky getting the far left digits entered especially if there is a max number (hard-coded in the firmware that it won't let you go over) another thing verify your spindle has 220 volts on it. if your power in is 220.
try going left of the 50 and put 3 and then change the 5 to 0 and then back to the 3 and change to 4

Try it in the order that that was posted here before

you already did the factory reset so go to step 2 and hang d002 first then d001 and so on.

1) Reset the VFD to factory settings
a) Set D001 to 1
b) Set D176 to 1 and press Func (this resets VFD to factory settings)
c) Set D001 to 1this allows you to change settings
2) Reset the VFD to 400Hz max operating frequency rather than the 50Hz default:
a) Set D002 to 400 (need to set this before D000)
b) Set D000 to 400
c) Set D003 to 400
d) Set D009 to 400
e) Set D021 to 400
f) Set D093 to 400

Yes this set mine. Thanks now to find how to set everything else

What I was missing was after factory rest was to go back and rest D001 against. After I did that I was good to go. Thx again

Yes I have. I've got print outs of the parameters etc on my workbench in the garage and sit with my ipad watching videos (those two included) and the parameters comparing things - still no joy.

Just in case you haven’t got this settings. I was having the same trouble. After I did factory rest. You again need to set D001. To the 1 setting then you can change perimeters

Hello Mate you would'nt no were i could get information or pictures on the wiring for a zero touch probe for the PRT-E1500W. I can't seem to find it any were. Thank you.

I finally figured out the VFD and Mach3 software settings for my 1.5 kW, 110Vac, 400Hz Spindle with the PRT-E1500W VFD in order to run the spindle either in manual mode or with PWM control through the PC. Here's the procedure I used. (Note I didn't change the 220V setting to 110V in the VFD since there isn't a mechanism for generating higher voltage than the VFD supply and it doesn't appear to be necessary, but this should be vetted by another party (CHIMERA1960?) prior to long duration running).

1) Reset the VFD to factory settings
a) Set D001 to 1 (may be able to skip this step)
b) Set D176 to 1 and press Func (this resets VFD to factory settings)

2) Reset the VFD to 400Hz max operating frequency rather than the 50Hz default:
a) Set D002 to 400 (need to set this before D000)
b) Set D000 to 400
c) Set D003 to 400
d) Set D009 to 400
e) Set D021 to 400
f) Set D093 to 400

3) Set VFD to receive input frequency setting for spindle throttle control from the AVI terminal:
a) Set D031 to 1

4) OPTIONAL but I would recommend for additional debug/safety reasons: Set VFD to allow manual spindle "stop" from terminal even when running from PC

5) OPTIONAL: Set AVI terminal to readout spindle rpm instead of VFD frequency:
a) Set D039 to 1

6) To run the spindle manually with variable speed directly from the AVI terminal:
a) Set D032 to 0
b) Make sure switch next to AVI terminal is set to "Manually"
b) Use AVI "Pot Dial" to set spindle rpm
c) Use AVI "Run" to start spindle
d) Use AVI "Stop" to stop spindle or turn down Pot Dial to 0

7) To run the spindle from the PC (note the PWM signal from Mach3 adjusts the setting of the AVI terminal as if it were the VFD Pot. The PWM signal is NOT going directly to the spindle motor):
a) Make sure you have the right Port/Pin settings in Mach3 (see example settings below)
b) Set D032 to 1
c) Make sure switch next to PRT is set to "PC"
d) Very important: On Mach3 User Panel, make sure you select and input the max spindle speed (i.e. 24000).
e) Select the actual spindle speed by adjusting up/down arrows or dragging the column up/down for relative speed setting changes.
f) Use "Spindle CW F5" button or "F5" to toggle turning the spindle on/of


Mach3 software settings that work for my spindle and wiring configuration (if you have an issue with the X,Y,Z position controller settings let me know, but I think most don't have this issue):

A) Ports/Pins
1) Port Setup and Axis Selection
i) Port #1 Enabled
ii) Kernel Speed Set to 35000 Hz (this worked for my 2.9 GHz desktop controller, but you may need to use the lower 25000 Hz setting for slower machines)

2) Motor Outputs
i) Spindle Enabled = Active
ii) Spindle Step Pin# = 1
iii) Spindle Dir Pin# = 0
iv) Dir LowActive = Active
v) Step Low Active = Active
vi) Spindle Step Port = 1
vii) Dir Port = 0

3) Input Signals
i) EStop Enabled = Active
ii) EStop Port = 1
iii) EStop Pin Number = 10
iv) EStop Active Low = Active
v) EStop Emulated = Inactive

4) Output Signals
i) Enable1 Enabled = Active
ii) Enable1 Port# = 1
iii) Enable1 Pin Number = 14
iv) Enable1 Active Low = Active or Inactive
iv) Output#1 Enabled = Active
v) Output#1 Port# = 1
vi) Output#1 Pin Number = 17 (this should NOT be the Motor Output Step Pin (e.g. Pin #1 in my configuration) as may be indicated in some of the user manuals)
vii) Output#1 Active Low = Inactive (important to make sure Spindle is On when Mach3 Toggle Switch is on. May need to change this setting if switch appears to be operating backwards)

5) Spindle Setup
i) Select "Use Spindle Motor Output"
ii) Select "PWM Control"
iii) Input "PWMBase Freq." (I used 421)
iv) Input "Minimum PWM" ( I used 0%)

B) Pulley Selection
i) Pulley Number 4
ii) Min Speed = 0
iii) Max Speed = 24000
iv) Ratio = 1

Good luck! Hope this helps!

I have Chinese 6040 router working under VFD control
But the spindle will not work at full speed unless I
Turn the pot dial to manual. I know this
Is not a mechanical issue because it happened
before and I got it corrected but I do not
remember what I did. It is a setting somewhere.
I am using Mach 3. VFD settings have been
double and ttiple checked. Thanks for any help!

I would check your settings against my all 200 settings:

Hi there, I have bought one headaches machine for myself from ebay I have been mad ,it will not start in any @@@@ sitting could you please help me with what else I must do ? always stop red button is no. even no one single movement I can see.
wish you or anyway have had same as my problem and sort it help me. thank you very much.

[Tak67]

Hi all, I have Connected everything like it should installed Mach3 and put on the CNC openend the Mach3 software it says driver loaded but nothing works or responds.
I did set the config as it should (double checked), still nothing.........
No drivers cd or Manual was given, took a lot of searching the internet too find anything like plugins but non worked for me.
Can someoone please help me i really want too enjoy my CNC. ( USB ) CNCEST PRT-E1500W
HERE MY VIDEO wish get some help.

HI,I have no idea you sort out your problem or not,if you did could you please look at this video and help me.

Hey Guys
Thanks for the info to all that posted. With this info I was able to get my 6090 to move X,Y, and Z axis. I can get the spindle to operate manually, but I can't get it to run from Mach3. I set D032 to 1. When I try to start it via mach3 the readout on the VFD shows the rpm but the spindle is not spinning. Also, when I click the "Spindle CW F5" button in mach3 the dwell indicator lights up. Any Ideas?
thanks

I have the 6040 1.5k spindle. I am not running it from the pc but from the VFD. The problem I’m having is the spindle is running reverse. Where in the strings can I change it?

Hello,
looking on the web for information about driving this Vfd-Spindle manually, I have found and used these data (to use manually the spindle) an looks perfect.

Many and many thanks.

Take Care
