Huanyang VFD Macro/ Plugin

[ger21]

The plugin may not work until you change the DRO to 2451, as it requires it.

[Dan911]

I havent changed the RPM DRO yet, Will the spindle not start until this change has been made?

I would like to use the plugin to manage the "S" commands in my G code, but it does not seem to be my lucky day.

Hi Jan,

Changing the Rpm DRO for the 2017 screenset to 2451 is needed for controlling rpm, technically it should still turn spindle on/off depending on what rpm VFD is set to, it actually should still work when you start UCCNC with VFD off than turn on. The only time it won't turn on spindle if UCCNC/2017 ss rpm is set lower than your minimum rpm settings in plugin. If I remember correctly you would at least hear the relay click inside VFD. Sorry to say I'm suspecting other issue's here other than wrong configuration set up.

Once I seen you were using and older plugin I looked no further assuming that was your problem. I'm just home from work so need a little time to review your profile and adapter and will get back to you, I'm sure will debug where your problem is.

BTW what version UCCNC are you using?

Jan, please confirm you are changing RPM Dro in 2017SS to 2451 and saving screenset correctly.

Hi Dan

DRO changed to 2451.

Please see the attached screenshots.

Still no Spindle reaction.

I cannot hear the relay clicking in the VFD.
Is this relay also used when I start the spindle manually? If not, then the relay might bee the root to my trouble. I have spare relays, and could solder a new one in.




Thanks for helping out.

On the spindle setup page, do you have the port and pin for the relay assigned to M3?

Hi Ger

Is this still needed when I use the RS485 adapter? I only attach Two wires to the RS+ RS- poles.

[ger21]

Yes, if you don't assign the pin, the plugin can't activate it.

[Tyknok]

Yes, if you don't assign the pin, the plugin can't activate it.

Where Can I read about it, it does not make sense to me.

Jan, Download a free or trial Serial Monitor to confirm your sending/receiving communications.

Show your spindle configuration page.

How is the VFD connected to the UB1?

To my knowledge it is not connected at all.

Hi Dan

As I see it, I´m both sending and receiving data.

[Dan911]

Gerry I Think right now he is trying to get plugin to control his Huanyang VFD, if he is attempting to have relay for on/off he will need to change PD001>>>>> 02 Enable commands on port rs485 settings in VFD.

Jan, confirm your saving screenset correctly for RPM field to 2451. When you go back to screen edit and click on RPM field does labelnumber read 2451??? After you click apply in screen edit you have to click on file tab on top and click save screenset.

Like I posted previously, download a free or trial Serial Monitor to see if there's any communications between UCCNC and VFD. This is where I suspect your problem is.

It reads.... read and write but I see no data sent or received, it should show bytes sent with a reply from VFD with bytes. See if there's an option in Serial Port monitor to view data.

Hi Dan

Sorry for beeing a noob, I have no experience what so ever wit this type of software.

I found a "data" field and started monitoring it.

Hi Dan

I confirm, the RPM fiels is set, and the screenset is saved after this.

"01 01 03 8e 00 00 5c 65" Is a Command the HYplugin first sends to VFD for max hz, if no reply back from VFD plugin won't start. Basically this is telling me your system is configured correctly up to Serial
Port. This can mean a variety of things.

Start by making sure your USB RS485 has the correct drivers and configured properly, check your RS+ and RS- are wired correctly and double check your parameter settings I posted previously.

So far when I helped trouble shoot same similar problems 99.9% of the times it was a bad adapter.

Sorry Jan, I missed this pic. I see the VFD is responding but not with the correct response and why not starting.

What series Huanyang VFD you have, is it a GT series by any chance??? If so I have different instructions.

I have Two adapters, tried Them both, same result.
