Hi All, I'm to the point on my mill belt drive conversion that it is time to setup the VFD / Motor. This is my first VFD so I need some guidance getting it setup properly. The Huanyang VFD and Hallmark motor were free to me so I will be using these for the first go. If I am not satisfied with the performance I will upgrade to better equipment later.
Here are the VFD and motor labels.
First I want to verify I have the base wiring done correctly. The VFD is 220v so I have the motor wired in the "Low Volt" configuration.
Three wires from the motor "U/L1", "V/L2", "W/L3" go to the corresponding "U", "V", "W" terminals on the VDF.
Motor ground from the motor case ground screw to the ground terminal in the VDF (lug to the right of terminal "W")
Motor shield wire unattached at the motor end and terminated at the VFD chasis ground.
Main 220 power is L1 and L2 from a contactor to terminals "R", and "S" on the VFD.
Main ground wire to the VFD chasis terminal.
I have not powered it up yet.
If the base wiring looks good then what is the next step in configuring the VFD?
The VFD will be controlled from Mach3 through a PMDX126 BOB, Eithernet Smooth Stepper and PMDX-107 motor control card.
I'm thinking it would be best to get the VFD/motor running off the key pad before doing the Mach3 setup???
