Hi aekhv,
I am using Delta MS 300 VFD and tried to follow your guide but I was not able to establish connection with my VFD.
I have attached my INI and manual. It would very helpful if you could help me regarding the same.

I would suggest first making sure you are communicating with the drive with all the correct modbus settings. You can verify with vfdmod's pyvcp panel or through HAL Config in Axis. Once you know you are connected then you can start adjusting settings for different drive operations.
There appears to be a driver for Delta VFDs written a while back and it looks like the commands / registers are the same as what you show. The excerpt below is from -- github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master.../vfdb_vfd/vfdb_vfd.c
// command registers for DELTA VFD-B Inverter
#define REG_COMMAND1 0x2000 // "Communication command" - start/stop, fwd/reverse, DC break, fault reset, panel override
#define REG_FREQUENCY 0x2001 // Set frequency in 0.01Hz steps
#define REG_UPPERLIMIT 0x0100 // limit on output frequency in VFD
// command bits

#define CMD_EMERGENCY_STOP 0x1000

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
I have already communicated with the drive with all the correct modbus settings in windows usind MODPOLL and it was working fine.
As I am new to LinuxCNC, I followed the guide posted by AEKHV but I was not able to debug where I have made mistake.
I will attach my HAL and INI file here.

I am attaching all the files that I used to get vfdmod working correctly with my vfd / spindle. I have a different vfd and specs but you should be able to see what I have changed / added to each of these files to get it all working.
I don't remember exactly which file it is, but in my default linuxcnc install there is a generic spindle-at-speed = 1 setting in one of the files (maybe custom.hal or one of the postgui files). You will have to comment that out or delete it to get proper spindle at speed feedback.

Thanks RobC
your files helped a tonne, I finally managed to get the spindle up and running but its just not rotating at full RPM.
So the max RPM of the spindle is some 24000 RPM and the max command frequency is 599Hz.
I've attached my VFD config file here.
When I connected the VFD via usb and read the frequency passed to the VFD when I try to rotate the spindle at full RPM it is only 5.99 HZ instead of 599Hz...
I thought that maybe it had something to do with improper "SpindleRpmIn" configuration so i researched a bit and found this post:
Following the comment I set the multiplier and divider accordingly.
[SpindleRpmIn]
FunctionCode=0x06
Address=0x2001
Multiplier=599 #max frequency
Divider=24000 #max spindle RPM
but its just not working.....
I am breaking my head over here, just dont know what im doing wrong.

My vfd / spindle run at 400hz, 24000 rpm max so I use 1 & 6 for the multiiplier / divider. vfdmod sends 80.0hz as 800, 300.0hz as 3000 where the display on the vfd just shows 80.0, 300.0, and so on. I believe your multiplier / divider should probably be 1 & 4, then 4 & 1. They can be tweaked from there if it's off by a factor of 10 or whatever. It seems like you're getting the right number, just with the decimal in the wrong place.
[SpindleRpmIn]
# An address of the command speed (or frequency) register.
Address=0x0201
Multiplier=1
Divider=6
[SpindleRpmOut]
# An address of the output speed (or frequency) register.
Address=0x0220
Multiplier=6
Divider=1
[SpindleRpmIn]
# An address of the command speed (or frequency) register.
Address=0x0201
Multiplier=1
Divider=6
[SpindleRpmOut]
# An address of the output speed (or frequency) register.
Address=0x0220

Has anyone gotten this to work with a Inexpensive Vevor H100 series VFD?
Vevor H100 VFD
I started to slog through it, but since this a simple and pretty inexpensive unit I am hoping I am not the first. The manual was only slightly bigger than a postage stamp so I scanned the modbus sections and attached them here in a readable format. I've worked with other modbus devices so I am not entirely new. I have a modbus adapter and have it talking to the unit at least.
Happy to share once I have it working.

All of the files / settings I have posted in the previous posts are for an H100 VFD (also known as V70 from other vendors), so they should all work as a reference (file names may be different). The PDF version of the manual is too large to attach to the forum, but here is a link to the stepperonline V70 manual. www.omc-stepperonline.com/download/VFD%20manual%20datasheet.pdf
The vfd settings that are related to control via rs-485 dongle are:
F001=2
F002=2
F163=1
F164=3
F165=3
F169=0
Then the settings needed for vfdmod ini are:

Perfect, thanks very very much. I tired searching for H100 and didn't find anything that matched on the forum. I think I get how you gleaned some of this from the manual. For example, the Address for the spindle rpm out (0x0220). From the manual, that appears to be mapped to the input registers 0000H (pg71) which is the Output frequency. Could you not use function 04 and read it from there as well? Excuse any newbie ignorance when it comes to modbus. I just know enough to be dangerous.
