Getting a BD600 to work with MB2HAL

Hi all!

I am currently trying to get a Folinn BD600 vfd to work via Modbus (rs485) to work using MB2HAL (as VFDmod seems to be offline)

I integrated the MB2HAL component but when using the HAL Configuration Monitor, I only get 0s.
My computer has a RS485 IF included but I also tried using a RS485 USB converter, no differences.
My User is already in the dialout group.

Is there a way to test the Modbus connection to the VFD on this computer without using linuxcnc? 

I also added my Hal and ini files. Any major findings?

Try www.modbusdriver.com/diagslave.html (30days free trial period) to verify that your computer can actually communicate with VFD. That is the only package that runs under Linux,that I know of, may be other members know of better Modbus testing package for Linux.

If you use windows there a lot more choices. Some commercial software packages are easy to use but are not free, however, they all offer free trial period. (google is your friend)

Why don't you use the VFDMOD user component instead? forum.linuxcnc.org/24-hal-components/387...modbus-rtu?start=150

Wouldn't I need something like a Master Simulator/Program as the VFD already acts as a Slave? I would like to test the connection between the VFD and my Computer.

@COFHAL: As I See, the VFDMOD Project on Github is offline. Someone seems to have saved the installation packages but I have no Idea how to handle/configure it (already installed it, but there is no more information). I am open for this route, if you have more information :)

Cheers

First of all I would  start the config from a terminal so you get at least some information of what is going on.

They have a trial package for modbus master, I am suggesting this method to make sure that your hardware is communicating properly using simple commands from the modbusdriver.com company, once you get that working, then you can follow the other members suggesting. If you already established communication between the linuxcnc and mesa then this method is unnecessary
