Finally, we need to set the VFD to work with external control,
and with the spindle motor we are using. Below is the
manufacturer recommended sequence for doing this. Please
note that doing this out of order can cause problems later. If
you would like to change any other settings, please refer to the
H100 user manual.
We will mostly be using the push buttons on the front of the
inverter to change settings. The button functions are:
SET – Used to 'enter' a setting for adjustment
ESC – Backs up one level
UP / DOWN arrows – Used to navigate through a menu, or to
change a variable up / down
SHIFT arrow – Used to move the cursor to the left so you can
change other digits of a parameter
The correct basic parameters for CNC control with this spindle are:
F013=8 – This resets the inverter to factory default
F005=300 – Sets the maximum frequency of the drive. 300Hz is 18kRPM, 400Hz is 24kRPM with this
spindle
F004=300 – Sets the reference frequency of the drive. 300Hz is 18kRPM, 400Hz is 24kRPM with this
spindle
F003=300 – Sets the main frequency of the drive. 300Hz is 18kRPM, 400Hz is 24kRPM with this
spindle
F072=300 – Sets the high end frequency that corresponds to 10V on the analogue input
F070=000 – Sets the potentiometer input for voltage, 0-10V range
F002=004 – Sets the VFD to look for speed control information form the AI12 terminal
F001=001 – Sets the VFD to look for forward / reverse signals from the X1 & X2 terminals
Please read through the H100 user manual from page 35 for a detailed description of all the
available parameters. There are several cool features that you may wish to make use of that have
not been covered here.
