Title: Cannot get PMDX-107 to Do Test Mode?
Post by: KG7AMV on July 20, 2015, 12:52:20 AM

I cannot get the 107 to talk to the VFD. Test Mode when it exits it does give it some com when A001 is set to control terminal and A002 is set to key pad and switched to run. When Hooked to a POT it works as it should just not with the PMDX-107.  PMDX-126 W/ESS

VFD is a HITACHI WJ200-022SF Settings. See Quick Reference Page 50: http://www.hitachi-america.us/supportingdocs/forbus/inverters/Support/NT3251X.pdf

A001 set at 01 Even Tried 00 (A001: 01 Control Terminal, 00 Pot Control On Ext Operator   
A002 Set to 01 Control Terminal
PLC is jumped to L on upper row "Source Logic"  (Page 27)

Connecting the 107 to the VFD

Rev/Dir  to Terminal 2 on VFD
Fwd/Run to Terminal 1 on VFD
COM ? P24 on VFD
Aref  to H on VFD
Aout  to O on VFD
Agnd - L on lower row on VFD
Dip 6 On For RatioMetric (Tried it Both Ways On and off).

Am I doing something Wrong In the hookup or settings?

Seems it will only run clockwise. M3 & M4 do nothing if I go to pulleys and select reverse it will run reverse counter clockwise.

I followed the AN002 instructions.

Wonder what setting I am missing?

Thanks Steve for all the help today.

Corrupted Mach 3 Config File was the issue.

It's always something other than what you figured it would be.... 8-)
