I use this THC together with UCCNC on my homebuilt plasma table. I am happy with it and it does what I expect of it.

Unknown to most is the fact that the THC3T-02 is both "step and direction"...

Another thing to consider.

The UC400ETH can be bulkhead mounted. Which can be an advantage in some cases.

LEDs are visible outside a control cabinet. Ethernet cable can plug in directly.

I see the Hitachi WJ200 is a later model than my discontinued X200/SJ200

If different VFDs have different specs for things like frequency register then would not ModbuzEZ need a setting for that? ...

Hitachi VFD requires a value 0 - 4000 to represent frequencies output of 0 - 400. Are all VFDs the same in this respect?



The amps value reading as % is fine by me. Again is Hitachi...

I can test Hitachi X200 and SJ200 Both much the same (as long as you go by the printed manual not the PDF manual) "Output Current Monitor" is holding register 1002h Some devices...

Thanks for the response Dan.

It is worth mentioning that if I download the X200 manual PDF from Hitachi, that it is different to the printed manual that came with mine.
This caused some confusion...

At first I could not get ModbusEZ to work for the life of me. So I gave up and went with the Modbus Master plugin that comes installed with UCCNC.

Got that...

F200 position shouldn't make any difference in either example.

Remember you are commanding the rotary axis (A axis) to move 200 units per minute. If your units are degrees (typical) then that...

Have not had a chance yet to try this.

However I wanted to say how much I appreciate your efforts on this.

Just have to say that I have had nothing but positive experiences dealing with CNCdrive

OK thanks Keith.

Presently controlling a VFD via Modbus from Mach3 and need this before migrating that machine to UCCNC.

Did Modbus make it into the software yet?

Version 1.2021

Glad to hear it.

Thanks.

Yes I understand if it is temporary to discourage spam.

But I have tried other forums where this is the permanent way of doing business and find it too frustrating.

As I said I can...

Just made my first post on the forum.

It must be approved before showing up. This is understandable if it is just for the first few posts. However if this is the permanent way of accepting posts,...

That is good news. I feel this is an essential thing for UCCNC to become a major player.

Thankyou Gentlemen for the response.

It was all I could manage just to set up Mach3 Modbus to talk to my VFD, so unfortunately I can be of no help.

Just a simple carpenter. :)

Slightly off topic but concerning Modbus.

One reason I have not moved my router over to UCCNC is that presently I control the VFD/spindle via modbus with Mach3.

I find Modbus to be superior...

I have one of those Russian pendants and really like it.

Mine is the original model. ShuttleRU

The plugin for it looks very much like it is a modified version of the Shuttle Pro one

Looks like that stepper is rated 2.8 amps.

Dip switch settings are all there printed on the driver case.

Microstep setting is dependant on other things about your application. 8 or 16 might be...

I'm interested in what you are trying to do.

My first thought is that as soon as the plasma is started you will fry the 12v power supply.

Nice little table you have built. How are you coping...

If the stepper motor or servo drives take a standard 5v step and direction signal (most likely) then a Break out Board connected via LPT to Mach3 computer would not be very complicated.

For 1/4 to...

That's interesting

My swirl pattern on the electrode is opposite to your picture.

I use a WSD60P machine torch which uses the same consumables (as does the AG-60 / SG-55)

The job of the Post Processor is to produce the code required to carry out the job. No need for any editing of the gcode.

A popular simple THC is the Proma 150

Sheetcam would be the most popular generic CAM software for plasma cutting.

Don't have an answer for you.

Just curious, will it establish an arc if the tip is above and not touching the material?

I have both Ruida RDC644G and Anywells AWC708C. And have used the AWC608 in the past. I actually prefer the Ruida.

However the AWC708 works OK. They all have their little quirks.

The way the THC3T-01 works, or is set up, is a little different to the Proma.

How do you have the input signals connected to Mach3?

They are not solenoid switches like the Proma. They provide...
