Hi all, I’m currently setting up my Onefinity to work with a spindle. The spindle I’m using is a Huanyang 2.2kW unit. In the tool configuration I programmed the tool-type to Huanyang VFD and I was able to successfully control the spindle speed using M3 SXXX in the MDI. My setup uses a microcontroll…

[image] 349iq2345: Possibly “tool-enable” only works with “PWM Spindle” as tool-type. @satoer also uses “PWM Spindle” as “tool-type” in order to use “tool-enable”=“lo-hi” for switching the trim router on. But the firmware on the remote controller is programmed to ignore PWM frequencies. If i…

Hey Branden, [image] WildMtnCraftworks: I’m currently using these in conjunction with fault detection for my local HMI & alarm output. There are enough Multi-Outputs on the Huanyang VFD to have both: [Huanyang_VFD__Basic_Connection_Diagram__With_mark_on_Multi-Output_Terminals] [Huanyang_VF…

Hi Aiph5u, My model must be slightly different as it doesn’t have the KA & KB terminals. I’m going to do some research into the DRV & UPF terminals tonight. I will need these to switch on 3.3VDC or 5VDC to my Arduino input and I’m not familiar with how open collector outputs work at the moment. I j…

[image] 349iq2345: Question, does the pin work when you set “tool-type” to another setting? Forgot to mention this in my last reply. Setting the tool to PWM does allow for the tool enable to toggle when M3 SXXX & M5 are written in MDI.

[image] WildMtnCraftworks: Setting the tool to PWM does allow for the tool enable to toggle when M3 SXXX & M5 are written in MDI And if you set “tool-type” to “Huanyang VFD”, the pin 15 ceases to do something then?

[image] 349iq2345: And if you set “tool-type” to “Huanyang VFD”, the pin 15 ceases to do something then? Yes, that’s correct.

[image] WildMtnCraftworks: My model must be slightly different as it doesn’t have the KA & KB terminals. your model does not differ from those I’ve seen. Despite having studied the manual, I have no clue where to find KA & KB? Maybe Ghislain knows? Until the other day I even hadn’t a knowled…

Hey Branden, found this: Re: Looking for guidance on new 1.5kW Water cooled spindle 04-09-2019, 09:41 AM mactec54 (member) Originally Posted by rcheli View Post […] I wanted to use the relay contact shown in the manual labeled KA & FB to turn on the 12V power to the water pump and fans. I d…

Hey, [image] satoer: But the firmware on the remote controller is programmed to ignore PWM frequencies. If it’s getting a signal, it enables the router. you are using “tool-enable-mode” on Tool Configuration Tab which sets Pin 15 to “hi” to switch your “Router On” relay. But as we seem to ha…

Hi Aiph5u, I really appreciate all of the help that you (and everyone else) have provided. I’m not super comfortable using DRV/UPF as a digital input to the Arduino as it will require further circuitry that I’m not super familiar with. I’d hate to wreck the VFD or my external power supply over this…

Yes, that’s correct.
