Hello everyone - this is my first post here so I apologize in advance if I picked the wrong category.

I purchase a Huanyang Vfd and 18000RPM spindle kit on ebay. I'm using a gecko 540 and mach 3 through an ethernet wire.

I hooked up a 10k potentiometer and was able to go the full range of pd072 and pd073 (200hz to 300hz) for 12000RPM to 18000RPM which is awesome. When we change pd001 to 1 and pd002 to 0, and we enter S12000 into MDI in mach3, it automatically jumps all the way to 18000RPM (300hz). We tried flipping pd072/073 with no change.

I'm attaching my .xml for mach3 in the hopes it's just something I've overlooked. Just change to .xml when you get it downloaded.

Thank you very much for any help!

Shouldn't pd002 = 1 for external terminal?

PD001=0 (1 For Remote Control)

PD002=0 ( 1 For 0-10v Terminal Control or Remote Trim Pot Control )
( J1 Also Needs to be set for Terminal Control )

PD72=300

PD73=200

PD002 = 0

72/73 set.. shoots all the way to 300hz (18000 RPM) and doesn't move. I am able to change the frequency manually when on operator control on the VFD.

PD001 is how you start the VFD into Run/Stop
PD002 is how you control the frequency of the spindle.
If PD001 is =1 that is using the input terminals, not the panel.
If PD002 is = 0 then the rpm is controlled from the panel, for a Pot, it would be PD002= 1.

I think I have that all set correctly.. was this meant for me? I was using a pot to make sure my freq ranges were good but now I'm trying to control from Mach 3.

You were the OP!
If you want M3/M5 and S value from Mach then
PD001 = 1
PD002 = 1.

[Dan911]

There's also a jumper on main board to the right of terminal block.that needs to be across pin1 and 2.

PD002 needs to be 1

Ok.. both set to 1. I hear a relay click but no spindle rotation.

PD002 needs to be 1

Jumper is set for VI across pin 1 and 2.

I've attached a picture of my VFD wiring.. does that all look good?

Thanks y'all!

The click you hear is it turning spindle on, Do you have a frequency set??

Within Mach 3 on the MDI panel, I input (for example) S8000 and then M3, hear a click but no movement.

Take a look here.

The click would be the relay, see that the relay is wired to the VFD correct

[Al_The_Man]

You don't necessarily need the relay you can connect direct.

I have the STDR-4C which has an internal relay. I guess I can try switching the wires.

You mentioned in the OP a Gecko G540?
OK I see it has an integrated G540 internal.

How do you have it connected now

FOR and DCM are the Relay Pin Connection

ACM= 7

10v=9

VI=8

[Rich2017]

How do you have it connected now

Black wire to DCM
Red Wire to REV

[mactec54]

Black wire to DCM
Red Wire to REV

why would you have it wire to REV

[Rich2017]

why would you have it wire to REV

I need the facing bit I will use to go Clockwise.
