    well, yeh

    I mean, what could go wrong ? :rolleyes:

    I've already started one fire on this machine -

    so... just wire it up UVW ...

    I've barely used it so I'm a bit green on VFD specifics
  2. I agree... But there doesn't seem anything...

    I agree...

    But there doesn't seem anything that special (1ph to 3ph) in the burned out control box - unless it can be done in some inefficient relatively partless manner ?

    I'll investigate...

    finally got around to this.

    I'm getting 25ohms on all three possible termination combos...

    I expected the common like you said to show the same but the other terminations (where the cap would...

    I see what you're saying is the same as drawing on the left here:

    maybe at work yeh, someone will have one (theatre lighting) ... checking for smoke before it gets out again ?

    do I have it correct ?

    (and earth to chassis)

    Which motor type am I meant to be reading up on:

    Single-phase induction motors : AC MOTORS

    permanent split or the 3...

    So I connect earth to the chassis ?



    seven wires are for the lathe motor, not the milling motor which is four wires, which is what I'm interested in - I shouldn't have mentioned it.

    Pretty...

    Thanks for the link to the parts list...

    Saves me from forking out 25quid for one !

    the pic here shows the milling motor:

    Putting on my fire investigator cap the burned control unit appears to be a large cap, and the rest is mostly plain old mechanical switching and nothing substantial electrically that I can figure out...

    Single phase input but the mill motor has 1 ground and 3 other wires.

    Motor tag isn't on the motor but I can tell you all about the lovely pins that held it in place (no idea how many previous...
  12. Mill motor challenge fun times - what type of motor is this ?

    I have an Emco milling attachment for my Emco Maximat V10

    When I got it the electronics were listed as dodgy and sure enough turning it on it caught fire (flame2) :tired:

    I've replaced the...

    Pat,

    Signal would swing from -10v to +10v

    I'm designing the system so voltages are up to me...

    I'm sure I'll have a 12v supply at least (what ever W is required)
    Prob/maybe a 24v same deal....
  14. The links I provided above are the specific input...

    The links I provided above are the specific input equipment - the driving element is a Mesa 7i33 PWM to analog daughter card for a Mesa 5i22

    But it could be a desktop supply or anything really -...
  15. From what I understand (which I admit is probably...

    From what I understand (which I admit is probably faulty) there might be situations where these solutions make sense - when the voltage is halved the receiving device may no longer understand the...

    Hi Pat - its does help...

    You're the first person mention the halving of voltage which makes me think either we're both going mad, or there are a few people not even aware of or how setting their...

    I'm wondering what the best and/or usual workaround is in the following situations:

    single logic output >> differential logic input
    single PWM output >> differential PWM input

    hmmm, well lets hope I'm confused! It'd be an easier fix ;)

    hmmm,

    to add to my original post...

    So I have a single +/-10v output here - tested its signal and can confirm it ranges correctly from -10 to +10v...

    Theory goes for differential inputs...
  20. Single signals to Differential signals - best methods ?

    Hello all,

    I have near equal amount of automation gear here that use either single or differential output and input... I'm wondering what the best and/or usual workaround is in the following...
