7i76e to Durapulse connection

Yes, I have read about and I have installed a braking resistor that matches specs.

Additionally, I changed the ACC/DEC times from 10 secs to 12 secs.

Attached is a zipped XLS copy of my setup sheet saved from Gsoft2, see any other problems?

The only other issue that I may have incorrect is parameter P03:20, P03:28 and P03:31.

The Durapulse manual is very helpful and written much better than offshore manuals but, there's a couple of places
in the manual that are a bit confusing. Especially this sentence regarding the braking resistor:

Set P06.01 to 0.0 to disable the over-voltage stall prevention function (connected with braking unit or braking resistor). Use this setting when braking units or braking resistors are connected to the drive.

The ability to program this VFD via software is priceless!

@PCW
You need to set DI1 to RUN and DI2 to FWD/REV to work with the 7I76E
I think this is P3.01 = 1

From this list what should I be selecting based on your comment?  

 

So, I have everything connected. From the 7i76e and in LinuxCNC I can start the spindle both forward and reverse.

The only problem I have now is that I can't control the speed of the spindle from LinuxCNC. The speed ramps up to my starting speed
and is uncontrollable. Stopping the spindle works just fine as well.

I saw some commentary about LOCAL and REMOTE modes but, I see now way to totally disable the LOCAL mode if that even
is indeed the issue.

Anyone else have or have had similar situations?

 

I can control the spindle via the keypad if I config the VFD to do so, no problems.

I can start/stop the spindle with my 7i76e however I cannot change the speed from the 7i76e.
The spindle just ramps up to the START FREQ(83.33Hz) and remains as such even when I click on the plus button in Axis.
The LOWER FREQ is also set to 83.33hz as the spindle docs indicate to not run lower than 5000rpm.

The docs are very well written but, I note that there is confusion around the terminology of AUTO, MANUAL, LOCAL, REMOTE and HOA.

I suspect that the 83.33hz somehow plays a role in the following:
[SPINDLE_0]
P = 0.0
I = 0.0
D = 0.0
FF0 = 1.0
FF1 = 0.0
FF2 = 0.0
BIAS = 0.0
DEADBAND = 0.0
MAX_OUTPUT = 24000.0
OUTPUT_SCALE = 24000
OUTPUT_MIN_LIMIT = 0
OUTPUT_MAX_LIMIT = 24000





 

Have you checked:

1. The voltage between 7I76E SPIN- and SPIN+
2. The voltage between 7I76E SPIN- and SPINOUT (at various spindle speed settings)

One PIN 2(spindle output) of the 7i76e, is that supposed to be connected on the VFD with Analog Input or Analog Output?

Analog input

The 7I76E SPIN+,SPINOUT,SPIN- connections
connect to the drives potentiometer connection terminals
usually named something like:

VFD      7I76E
+10V-->SPIN+  potentiometer full speed end
AIN --> SPINOUT potentiometer wiper
GND -->SPIN-  potentiometer zero speed end

Yes, I have it wired up as such.

Pin 1 and Pin 3 = +10.61vdc
Pin 1 and Pin 2 = -12 mV  and this value never changes despite the start up at 83.33hz

The -12 mV is millivolts. So a low.
