Generic Spindle interfaces, I/O boards, Misc boards and panels / Re: PMDX-106, PMDX-122, Huanyang VFD setup)

« on: June 14, 2015, 10:54:25 AM »

I finally figured it out. The VFD has an on-board potentiometer that was interfering with the output of the pmdx-106. There is a jumper in the VFD for on-board or external input. After making that change I had to change the wiring from the 106 to the VFD:

J6 NO --> FOR (VFD PD044 = 02)
J6 COM --> DCM

J8 NO --> REV (VFD PD0045 = 03)
J8 COM --> DCM

J2 LOW --> AGM
J2 SET --> VI

After making those changes I was able to run the calibration on the PMDX-106

I checked the  pmdx-106, output voltage on J2. On first press of the test button I get 7.67v and the vfd goes to 100%. On the second press the voltage drops to 2.046v and the vfd stays at 100%. VFD will not go to 30%. In Mach3 I can turn the spindle on in forward or reverse with M3 & M4 but I cannot set the speed.

« on: June 13, 2015, 01:45:03 AM »

I have changed the BOB to a PMDX-122 and with some help from another forum I now have the spindle running fwd and rev from Mach3. In test mode on the 106 I cannot get the spindle to reduce speed to 30%, it stays at 100%. I am also unable to change speed in Mach3. I suspect it is a VFD setting but I believe I have everything set correctly. I did find that PD070 was set to 0-5v analog input. I cahnged it to 0-10v but with this setting the spindle only goes to 50% (200hz) and I still cannot change speed. The 106 J1 & J2 jumpers are set for 0-10vdc.

Ant thoughts on what needs to be changed would be appreciated.

My second question is how the PDMX-106 is wired to the VFD.

It is a Huangyang 1.5kw vfd.
The VFD control inputs are:

FWD  =    forward rum
REV  =    reverse run
DCM  =   common terminal for digital inputs
VI      =      0-10v analog input
ACM  =      analog input ground

I understand from the manual that VI = Connector J2 SET and ACM = J2 LOW. jumper on ref-to-pot/local

How does the PMDX-106 hookup to the VFD FWD, REV & DCM terminals? J6 & J8? and if so to which terminals. nc, com or no?  or???

I got it. I'm a bit thick in the head sometimes. I set PD072 to 105hz and re-ran the Calibration. Tuned the spindle to 6000 rpm and all is working perfect.

Thank you again for your time!

Best Regards,

Steve,

A bit of a breakthrough. I went through the VFD settings and found PD072 -" Higher Analog Frequency" to have been  factory set at 400hz. I changed this to 105hz and it slowed everything down too much so I put it at 200hz and now I am getting close to the correct values. With the trim pot at full CCW at 30% I now get 34hz which is a little higher than I should have. I could possibly tune the PD072 value but I'm not sure what this setting is for?

I believe we are out of the realm of PMDX issues so thank you for your help.

Steve, I freally appreciate your feedback.

Running the CAL test with the pot set full CCW I get no increase in spindle speed. Always 100% (105hz) no matter where the pot is. At 30% with the pot at full CCW the VFD drops to 67hz. With the pot at a half tun the 30% speed is 94hz.

So it sounds like it is a VFD setting?

Thanks,
Jay

Steve,

That made some progress but now (on pulley 1) if I enter s3000 or above I get 100% (6000 rpm). S1500 gives me appox 3000 rpm. So it appears to be doubling somewhere. I'm wondering if there is another VFD setting that needs to be set?

Thanks,
Jay

Found one problem. I did not have one of the VFD parameters set for the proper frequency input.

Now when I run the test I get 100% (105hz) on the first button push and approximately 60%(67hz) on the second button push. It still does not go to 30%.

In mach3 I have the pulley setup for Max rpm of 6000 (105hz) Min rpm of 300 (5%) and a pulley ratio of 2 (4" motor pulley/ 2" spindle pulley). I don't know what the reverse box is for but I have tried at ratio od 0.5, 1 and 2 with the reverse box checked and un-checked with no difference. It always goes to 100% on an M command regardless of the S command setting. I can use the override to slow or speed up the spindle.

Also when I run the test mode the VFD will not go to 30% on the second test button push.

Stave, thank you for the clarification on the relays. The manual had me thinking K1 and K2 were disabled because of the 107.

I have the spindle turning on/off with Mach3 but I cannot set the speed. The spindle always goes to full speed regardless of the "S" command. Mach3 thinks it is going to the correct speed but it is always 100%.

I followed the AN002 so I'm not sure where I have gone wrong?

Steve,

Thank you for confirming the control wiring.

I am still unsure of the settings for JP1 & JP2 and the config switches 7 & 8 on the pmdx-126.

Additionally, with 4 axis and the 107 all the output pins from PP#1 are used. To control two solid state relays for coolant and mist do I use A, B, C or D on J5 on PP#2?

I have my PMDX-126 and ESS working with no problems. I am now converting the gear head mill to a variable speed belt drive. I need some help verifying if I have the correct connections from the PMDX-107 to the VFD, how the jumpers on the PMDX-126 need to be configured and what settings on the PMDX-126 need to be made to control two solid state relays for coolant and mist.

I have the VFD running the motor in manual mode so that is all okay. The VFD is a Huanyang HY02D223B.

These are the settings I think are correct.

PMDX-107 ---> VFD
Pin 6 - Rev/Dir ---->       REV (reverse run)
Pin 5 - Fwd/Run ---->    FOR (forward run)
Pin 4 - COM (common terminal for relays, pins 5 & 6) ----> DCM (common terminal of digital and control signals)
Pin 3 - Aref (not used)
Pin 2 - Aout (spindle speed analog control voltage) ----> VI (analog voltage frequency reference input)
Pin 1 - Agnd (VSD ground reference) ----> ACM (common terminal of analog and control signals)

PMDX-107  Config settings (dip switches)
Config 1 = Off (Normal Mode)
Config 2 = Off (Normal Mode)
Config 3 = Off (relays operate as for and reverse control signals)
Config 4 = Off (charge pump signal required)
Slow = Off (fast PWM filter response) (may need to be changed to slow if VFD cannot keep up)
5v/10v = Off (10v reference)
 
PMDX-126 Settings
Config 1 = Open
Config 2 = Closed
Config 3 = Closed
Config 4 = Closed
Config 5 = Closed
Config 6 = Closed
Config 7 = ???
Config 8 = ???
