I don't think my config is going to be what you want or do you a lot of good.

I am using Linuxcnc on a 8 spindle gang router. I am using Modbus via the Modbus2hal component to control the 8 inverters. I can turn them on/off, set the speed, and detect their state (speed, fault,...) with it. the physical connection I am using is a USB - RS485 converter from Automationdirect. This is NOT a real time connection, and would not work for something like threading or where you would need precise control.

I am just posting to say that it probably could work, depending on what your trying, but it will probably be some work.to figure it out.

We will need to know a lot more details to be able to help you more. Such as what drive model your using, and what exactly you hope to do.

Here it is. It is a bit messy and very disorganized (been upgraded and patched several times)

What inverter do you have hooked up to the serial/USB port?

I am running a Danfoss VLT5000 series VFD through an USB->RS485 converter.

The drives on this machine are Lenze AC Tech SF230Y drives.

My config is rather complicated, controlling all 8 drives. It has the through a pyvcp screen the ability to disable/enable each of the drives, and display each drives status. This is all done with a fair bit of HAL and Classic Ladder logic. The trickiest part though was figuring out how to config the Mb2hal component. If I had been only controlling a single drive (or even 4 or less) I would have probably just used CL for all the modbus communication. My problem was that CL is limited to the number of registers it could read/write it was a little simpler to configure, but the documentation is rather lacking.

Here is a link to a long thread where I was testing and learning how to set this up.
