VFD not starting spindle on VFD run button

I am looking for known working parameters for my H100 VFD and 110v 2.2kw, water-cooled spindle. I have to be missing something. I have RS 485 connection. But I can start my spindle.

Hey Stephan,

the best thing is always to read the fine manual. You should find all parameters there. Note that H100 and V70 are practically identical.

If you can start the spindle with the front keypad but not with the RS485 connection, then the setting “Source of RUN command” is not set correctly. “Source of RUN command” and “Source of SPEED” are the settings that say from where the VFD is controlled.

I will see if I can find them. Thanks.

And you are missing a very important thing! What machine are you running this on???

Yeah, I am definitely missing something.
I am using a Woodworker Pro w/ Buildbotics BB.

OK good now we know. I am using a H100 VFD on a Elite foreman and it works great but I did need to search the web for the correct setting to get this to work. I am sure you will find what you need to do if you just search the web, I cannot help as the VFD connection on the Masso/elite foreman is very different, sorry

I appreciate your feedback. I get it. I have been searching for days. I can’t seem to find any concise info on my setup. But I am too far down the rabbit hole now. LOL.
Thank You.

No, I had not. I will just pulled it up. The Onfinity site says my controller is Buildbotics but it doesn’t look like that one, Hopefully, I can find something that works.

Thanks again.
