How To set up VFD parameters (Variable Frequency Drive) CNC [Episode 16]

[@jerry020351]

Thank you Roger. I just received my 1.5 kw 110volts water coold spindle with the H100 vfd. I had trouble understanding the manual. You are very clear and specific with your instructions. Jerry

Roger, Thanks Alot for share you wisdom, after 1 year i beggin watch your content for learn how to build and work with a CNC, today i already finished my CNC and selled some Products, and its my job now ! i living my Dream, and part of this is because you teach how to do that, thx a lot Roger ! From Brasil, God Bless you ! Amazing Man !

[@rogerwebb9600]

Very welcome

[@BarryRead]

Many thanks for the video it helped enormously with my first foray into spindle motor and a VFD. After watching your presentation I realized how much could go wrong if there were improper settings.

[@johnwhitty1236]

This is the only good video for that model vfd I can now program my one, which was driving me mad, thsnks

[@henrybartlett1986]

Very useful and one of the clearest that I have found.

Muchas gracias Roger, me ha sido muy útil. Madrid - España

[@bobbauvian7700]

thank you this clears some stuff up. the one I am attempting to replace is for a vacuum. This would be my first vfd replacement ever. the VFD from the OEM already setup is $1500, but, I can get a new one not setup for 250. and there is an identical one next to the broken one and is working.

[@drkline69]

Thanks Roger. This helped greatly. I was trying to setup my VFD to work with a new CNC controller box and the manufacturer of the board had me perform a factory reset and then I was lost. Not even the company that sold the VFD/Spindle combo could help me. So this should be the information that I needed. One thing that I did notice with your settings was for #144. You set it to 3000 but I believe that it should have been set to 2400 for 24,000 RPMs. Is that correct? Thanks!

[@rogerwebb9600]

Hi, minimum RPM is 3000 for a spindle

[@michaelkaastrup5429]

Grelt video mate. I have just Got my selv a 2.2kw spindel and a Vevor 3Kw vfd and your instruktions worked fine for me. But i do have a question, i did put a Hidance watt meter between my vfd and the wall outlet, and i Can se That tha max watt draw from the outlet is approx 300 watt Winther max rpm and no load om the spindel. Have you tryied to meassure the watt your spindel draw with no load ? Thanks Alain mate.

[@rogerwebb9600]

It can draw up to 2200w under load.

[@robertandrews8048]

Great video! I have found very few videos with this vfd so this video was incredibly helpful. How are you controlling the vfd? Through your software or manually?

[@scotthow2933]

Looks like I have the same vfd. Do you have a video of how you wired it to your DDCS controller? I can't figure that out for the life of me.

[@dporrasxtremeLS3]

This Video is ON The MAP for me! Thanks!!! What about the roosters??? Just kidding. Very valuable information , as this is the model we have to work with. Thanks! Subscribed!

[@FALCON390Workshop]

Hi. Great video and series. Really enjoying watching and can't wait till everything is up and running. Not sure if I'm right however does the spindle spin the wrong direction. Opposite to the arrow indicating right rotation?

[@rogerwebb9600]

You are correct

[@Mcorpmike]

@@rogerwebb9600 hey i would like to know is that bad when it’s in the wrong direction? Or did you have a reason to do so. I also have a not so constant freq that seems to be “jerky” what can i do to make that go away and have a constant rotation. Thanks foor the video 👍🏻

[@michaeljg100]

I have a question about Motor Function Parameter F144. In my manual that came with my VFD (H100-2.2S2) it describes F144 as “rated rotating speed of motor” Which I take as the maximum rated speed (in my case 24,000rpm) Is this a difference between different models or is that the same as yours?

[@rogerwebb9600]

Yes models are different.

[@davidbeal6819]

Hi Roger. I'm in Melbourne which is not as pretty as your neck of the woods. Thanks for your channel. Your videos are great. I have a ProverXL 6050 plus which I purchased a couple of months ago. I noticed that the spindle is slightly bent so I'm thinking about upgrading to a water cooled 1.5kw VFD spindle. Genmitsu have a kit but don't ship to oz. I found the same kit on Amazon so I'm thinking hard about that one. I was wondering if you had any thoughts about using the VFD with the 6050 plus. My main reason for thinking of water cooled is to reduce the dust flying around and more importantly, less noise. Thanks, David

[@poco3xpro885]

Sir,i have question to ask,, how to make spindle speed direct read from programme, without ajdusting speed on vfd, because ,,i means what speed im create on aspire , that machine read that speed,so i dont need ajdust speed on vfd,, can i create that method on machine

[@pedroenriqueanguera7550]

Thank you, extremely useful !!

[@zenithbuilder-stolch-750sd3]

It would have been a LOT more helpful if you had defined each registry you altered. You defined P005, but then changed P003 and P004 without explaining which functions were being changed. Since not all VFDs have the same numbering for registries, it is not possible to apply the settings appropriately by following the steps in your video. For example, your registry for max permissible frequency is P005...on the Fuji FRENIC-Mini, the registry for max freq is P003. Since you don't define most of the other registries you changed, how is one to know which function you are actually changing?

[@nkanyisozulu6423]

Exactly

[@fredmartinez933]

great video Roger..this cnc loolks stunning..thanck you for share..

[@rogerwebb9600]

Very welcome Fred

Running a 110v 1.5 kw spindle here. Super light passes at .04 doc 25% at 60ipm makes the spindle stall. Been through these settings with your video 3 times and no luck

[@toddroles3234]

Did you ever figure this out…I need same help on this problem

[@claudiogarrido2270]

muy buen video, me podrias indicar por favor como conectar un potenciometro externo. Gracias

[@rufustoad1]

Did I miss a video showing the connections from the Mach3 board to the VFD??

[@3dScience_uk]

unfortunately Roger missed the most important one , since there is an incompatibility between this vfm and the red board..

[@johnstanke8679]

When I start motor it ramps up very slow. What parameter am I looking for?

[@guepremable]

Thanks for this very helful video.

[@3dScience_uk]

I will always thank you for your great content. It is really sad that you haven't upload the most important video in that case : the wiring and your solution to connect successfully this 12 volt vfm with the 10v red board. (if you can, writea few words about how you managed to do it, Roger).

[@gulfelectricalknowledge3]

Great information

[@Michael-tg5uf]

Roger, could i hire you to set up my VFD ?

[@PatrikRaski]

Super!

[@Gidmd]

can anyone tell me what is the resistance of the brake resistor that can be connected to the DC+ and DB pins. And how to activate this function in the main menu?

[@PhoKingLitMedia]

What brand and model VFD is this one ?

[@podman63]

Thanks always useful to know On my setup it's preconfigured But nice to watch just in case

[@rogerwebb9600]

Glad you liked it

Very interested in CNC. Built my own Instructable CNC. Quite the learning experience. Watch most of your programs on you tube. Mine sees a lot of use and will soon/does need upgrading. I Need new ideas. Thanks for each ride.

I have hiteco 10 kw atc spindle and having hard time figuring out the vfd. Can you suggest one...?

Hello, i do the same setting but it shows error E.oc. Can I reset the device?

[@rogerwebb9600]

Yes

[@nderimshazimani117]

@@rogerwebb9600 with which program do you do this?

[@nderimshazimani117]

I have the same now. Made again, the setting is correct, I can turn the frequency very well. However, the spinder does not turn.

[@hamdanendot506]

why you set output 220v sir because the motor is 380v?

I think spindle is running in reverse
