How can I view the Z position of my tool tips? When viewing my G54 work coordinates, the Z height stay the same with every tool. It does not include the tool length.

Hi guys, I am starting the rebuild of this 1998 Haas VF4. It has been mistreated in the past and would like to fix most issues with your help and learn from your experiences.
This is my first...

IT WORKED :)
A simple change of the port # got the 4th axis to spin. Unfortunately it is only spinning in one direction only. The DRO does show movement of the 4th axis in both directions. Do you...

Hey Jeff,
Thanks for the screenshot! I have noticed the step and dir ports have a 2. I will give it a try later on and keep you posted. It was very helpful.

Jeff,
I will def try that. But how do i let the smoothstepper or mach3 know that i have connected another breakout board and how do I define the pin number? How do I differentiate the G540's pins...

Hi all,
I am having issues hooking up a 4th axis to my current set up. My goal is to hook up a new KL-DB25 breakout board to the ethernet smoothstepper which is already connected to a G540. My 3...

I can now run the VFD from Mach 3 (the issue was a bad wire connection). The VFD speed is not consistent with Mach 3. It spins at 23160rpm when entering M3 S24000 and 7200rpm when entering M3 S6000....

Al_ The_Man,
I changed PD011 to 130Hz. The spindle now spins at 7800rpm when I enter M5 in Mach 3, and 22800rpm when entering M3 S24000.
I still cannot set PD001 at 1. The spindle does not run...

AL_The Man,
PD001 doesn't let me turn star/run the spindle (even if i manually connect DCM and FOR, the relay does switch tho).
PD007 is the min. frequency. It is set at 0.50Hz and the value can...

thanks John, I will give it a try!

I have been trying to control my Huanyang VFD to Mach3 via Gecko 540. But running into a few issues:

1) (FIXED, it was just a bad connection) I still have to hit the RUN button to get the spindle...

John,
I will add two 2K7 resistors
and one 2N2222A transistor
If I understand the second pin on the transistor should connect between the two resistors. Is that right?...

Hello all,
I am having some difficulties installing my PNP proximity sensors to my Gecko G540.
I have created this diagram of my wiring to better communicate my problems:

Thanks you all for the help,
I have finally found some users that had the similar LU error
Huanyang DY02d223B Inverter - "LV" error - YouTube
so I change this following parameters to:...

yes, I am trying to get the spindle to spin only from the the VFD for now. Still no movement but a LU showing on a VFD when powered. I believe the spindle is porperly wired. 1,2,3,4 from the spindle...

The VFD shows a "LU" or "LV" when powered on. What does it mean?

The VFD was ordered as a 110V unit. the sticker on the front cover shows the voltage input (as show on the previous picture).
This is picture from the VFD label
