Greetings,
This is my very first post as a separate thread. I am a long time member and have learned so much from the generous sharing of everyone's work. In particular, Mark Jacobs and David Best posts have guided a lot of the work that I am doing on my PM1340, PM935 and PM940CNC. The lathe and the manual milling machine being manufactured in Taiwan, are definitely many grades higher in fit and finish. I practically had to refit and rewire the PM940CNC completely. But, that's a topic for another post.
For this post, I will attach 5 pdf files and 5 photos. The most important pdf file is the PM1340-V6 Wiring Diagrams Salah Zenieh.pdf. Please note, that a blue print for this work started as I was studying Mark Jacobs diagrams. So much credit goes to him as he made it so much easier to tackle this problem. Wiring for a lathe is tricky as there are many safety interlocks that must be observed. Mark's work is outstanding, but I couldn't follow it easily. The reason may be that various versions are out there and it was hard for me to keep track of them. It is also my nature, that I tend to need to do my own plans to understand what I am doing. So, you will see that my wiring diagrams are similar to his but yet different enough. I have been using the lathe with this implementation for several months now. It is working well. Please use the attached work at your own risk- I have tested this work but there is no guarantees that I have covered everything.
It is worth mentioning, that I used two enclosures. One is dedicated to the VFD with its electrical disconnect and a fuse. Main power comes first to that enclosure. The second enclosure is bigger and houses all the relays and other accessories that are in the wiring diagrams. Please feel free to comment or ask questions should you have any.
Above photo shows both enclosures installed on the machine. Here's another photo:
Here's a peak inside the VFD enclosure.
and a peak inside the bigger enclosure.
I hope this helps someone.
