Thought I was getting a huanyang VFD, but it turned out it be a yalang yl620 that uses a different command set apparently. Anyone talk to one of those over modbus from LinuxCNC? The modbus pins are the JST-XH connector right above the FWD/REV terminal blocks. RS485+ RS485- and Common are the pins in the order of the following picture:



I was able to get it in modbus mode with the manual:
vancura.biz/files/Documents/CNC/YL620-A%20Setup%20table.pdf

And read some registers with pymodbus that looked right (read out some 4000 which is the 400.0hz I had it setup for) although it didn't seem too reliable, had to hit stop on the VDF to get it to take new commands. Could be asking for some registers didn't make it happy...

I asked the vendor for the modbus register doc, but they only had a chinese version. In this shared folder: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Iao2n7WG...5ykyBUxC?usp=sharing

I don't know if I will get around to trying to write a driver or now yet... might just huanyang and move this one over to another piece of equipment. But I though I could at least leave the documents here if someone else wants to attempt it.

Hi,

As I know Huanyang uses modified MODBUS protocol with non-standard function codes. According to datasheets your VFD looks like standard MODBUS RTU compatible.

With power of Google translator I see:
  • Control register address is 0x2000
  • Command frequency register is 0x2001
  • Output frequency register is 0x200B

Control bits of control register are:
bit 1:0
  • b01:stop
  • b10:run
bit 5:4
  • b01:forward direction
  • b10:reverse direction
bit 7:6
  • b01: reset one (is it fault reset???)
  • b10: reset all (is it fault reset too???)

So control values should be:
  • b000001 = 0x01 (stop)
  • b010010 = 0x12 (run forward)
  • b100010 = 0x22 (run reverse)

You can try vfdmod from that topic: forum.linuxcnc.org/24-hal-components/387...trol-over-modbus-rtu

Configuration file for your VFD is below (edit Common and RS485 groups according your settings)
[Common]
MaxSpeedRPM=24000
MinSpeedRPM=3000
AtSpeedThreshold=0.05

[RS485]
SlaveAddress=1
SerialDevice=/dev/rs485
BaudRate=19200
DataBits=8
Parity=N
StopBits=1

[Control]
Address=0x2000
RunForwardValue=0x0012
RunReverseValue=0x0022
StopValue=0x0001

[SpindleRpmIn]
Address=0x2001
Multiplier=1
Divider=6

[SpindleRpmOut]
Address=0x200B
Multiplier=10
Divider=1

Thanks a lot aekhv! I'll give it a try here soon. Was just looking at your github for the vfdmod and it looks pretty interesting!

I got a chance to try it out quickly tonight. Partial success. If I hit the stop button on the VFD then start linuxcnc. A few commands go through, but then it appears to start erroring out.

I did try and increase LoopDelay and ProtocolDelay but didn't have success yet.

Attached is the error log and ini

BryceJ,

Try to decrease communication speed to 9600 baud, this may help.

As I see from log file communication starts normally, then errors are going, and then two last transactions (before LinuxCNC was closed) are fine again. What USB-to-RS485 converter do you use? I heard low-low-cost chinese adapters can cause errors. Something based on FT232RL chip should be good enough.

Hey Aekhv, I was able to get communication going. Turns out the rs485 on that vfd is full of noise. Took out one of the cheap rs485 sticks:

smile.amazon.com/JBtek-Converter-Adapter...6a-b325-4be35d7258cc

Even pulled off a ground to connect to a shielded cable to a ground on the VFD, and that didn't help

Another USB to rs232 to rs485 adapter I had seems to work better, but gets disconnected when the VFD starts up. Looks like to talk to one of these VFDs an isolated rs485 adapter is required.

An interesting info about YL620 and electrical noises: forum.linuxcnc.org/24-hal-components/341...2hal?start=20#153160

BTW if you consider this VFD, dont!
If you have massive noise problems, you've been warned.
Schaffner FN2060-16-06 mains filter will help a lot (my DAB! radio works now) and ferrite bead(donut shaped ring) on rs485 line will stop your screen from going wonky.


I'm using this adapter (with other VFD, not a YL620), it works fine for me: aliexpress.ru/item/32811301007.html

Are you sure that 9600 / N / 8 / 1 is correct for the VFD?

Yes this my VFD setting
P00.01 = 3
P03.00 = 3
P03.01 = 1
P03.02 =  2
P07.08 =  5
