EDIT: Figured it out, the numbers next to the contactors are locations on the diagram dealing with that system.
I removed my 4MR and now I am having trouble wiring it back up again. I cant seem to get my signal [120v] to enable 5FC. I have ran all the wires but so far no luck. I think I'm just tired and overlooking something simple.
I'm now wishing i would just have left it the way it was. But just removing a relay shouldn't be that bad... yeah right! Good thing I didn't take any pictures to put it back in. [Shot myself in the foot, well.... both feet]
csbrady, If you happen to have some pictures of 4MR, I sure could use them! lol
Hey! Thanks but I got it sorted out. I had a floating ground [was a switched ground instead of +24v signal]
I've since made a lot of progress on the mill.
I'm just about ready to start making chips. Now I'm beating my head on the hy_vfd HAL component.
Just figured out how to edit my Hal files/post gui files to get it to load, now I'm not sure if my serial converter to my vfd works. Acts dead, I have it set to the defaults I've read about in the parameters. I have +5v coming from the converter to the VFD's +5v, wired properly imo. Here is the converter I purchased.
Could you give a simple rundown of how you plan to control your VFD without Modbus?
I assume you are going to go 0-10V route? I may go this way depending on if I have a software issue or hardware issue preventing me from getting the hy_vfd component working. Heck, I haven't even confirmed that I have the RS485 chip installed in the VFD!! I am getting +5V from the vfd, So my assumption would be it is installed, but we all now how assumptions are.

Yes, exactly that. I have a bunch of +/-10V outputs spare on the servo driver card, I will use one of those with HAL configured not to output negative voltages. FWD/REV ON/OFF via GPIO. (And an analogue input for current monitoring)
