VFD for MESA

Hi,

I'm busy converting a lathe to CNC.
For the spindle motor I will use a 1.5KW or 2.2KW 3 phase motor
But to adjust RPM I wil need a VFD (1 phase in 3 phase out).

My control PC is using a MESA 6i25 and 7i76 card

I hate electronics, so I don't know lots about it. And it's a bit hard to find out what I need to control the RPM with LinuxCNC.
I read something about 0-10v signal, modbus?

Are there any dummy proof VFD that that work 100% with LinuxCNC?
Or which things do I need to check if a VFD can work with LinuxCNC and my MESA board.

Thanks

Unfortunately nothing in this world is completely stupid proof.
But there are lots and lots of VFDs that are 100% compatible with Linuxcnc. (you will probably have a hard time finding one that isn't.)
With a 7i76 set up I'd suggest just sticking with a standard analog set up, that almost any drive will support, and the wiring will be pretty much the same from one drive to another.
You will be connecting a start/stop wire, a reverse wire (if you want or need one), a comon wire, 2 wires for the analog, and probably a ground. You might also want a vfd fault, or at speed digital output signals from the drive, but they aren't nessisary.

Modbus control can open up a lot more features to the drive, but it can be a lot more complicated to configure, especially if the drive doesn't have a driver configured for it in Linuxcnc already, and you would need to get a serial adapter of some sort for it.

Thanks for your reply
I just found this video:
Seems pretty easy? Since the driver is already inside LinuxCNC.
Using a USB-RS adapter, solder two wires to it and connect it to the VFD.
And some small changes to the HAL

Besides there is lots of info about these Huanyang VFDs. I think I will order one.
