It's just Watts law, Power = Volts x Current. Higher voltage needs less current for the same power - North America is 120v normally - you can get 230V but it's not the baseline there. Take a random...

Luke - in South Africa your mains voltage is 230V like here in the UK - Mac's mains voltage in America is normally going to be 120V which is presumably how he's getting his 25A requirement.

Currently I have a 1.5kw Huanyang VFD and its been ok - but I wonder if it's underpowered, or it's started overheating, or something is wrong. It's cut out twice on me during jobs in maybe the last...

Already done that - not holding my breath. Hoping someone here might have an insight ...

not helpful - for starters it's perfectly obvious what Chrome is warning about, no need to "google it" (also your link is broken). The question actually is - why? has Google has made a mistake? or...

Thanks for response Citizen - weird our Chrome browsers behaving differently - below is what I get in Chrome - and I get something that looks almost identical in Firefox...

Hi All,

Please - no comments about avoiding "cheap" Chinese motion controllers! I was using a European AXBB-E controller until I fried it, now I have to use my old backup card, and I can't afford...

thanks @fantm666 - one of the moderators here explained the 24V on the VFD inputs so I'm all good now.

Awesome setup by the way.

One more question - your "finally got it working" post says...

@Al_The_Man, thanks - that's very helpful. I'm getting closer to understanding now - so the controller output that's hooked up to FOR is supposed to pull to ground when active - and float when off? ...

Hi @fandtm666 - I'm also trying to get my Huanyang inverter working with an AXBB-E - Previously it was working with a chinese controller, but I need to run probe g-codes that it doesn't support, so...

@Matec54 But the forward pin is an input - so to my mind it should not have 24v on it with nothing plugged in -

Pretty sure the VFD parameters are correct. As I mentioned - it was already working...

Hi All,

I'm having major problems trying to get my new AXBB-E controller to run the spindle. My router was working fine with a chinese controller (the MK4-V from cdxhctech) but I need to use...

Thanks Eric, yes - I did see the warning on your site about Chinese controllers - but China is a big place! although when I bent the probe tip I realized your rule of thumb definitely applied to my...

Hi,

Can folks confirm the controllers they are using with this? (or if they're just using direct drive parallel port) - I'm using the CDXHXTech mach 3 MK4-V card (this one CNC Mach3 motion control...

thanks to LeeWay for suggesting SheetCam - I followed that link and found mynesting.com - who have a kind of subscription type business model. You pay for each nested DXF that you need to generate,...

I experienced the same problem again intermittently after Richard's adjustment, and finally disassembled the front panel myself.

What I found was that the digital height gauge bar (see arrowed...

Does your front control panel respond the way you expect?

My spindle would not start either - switching on the machine would illuminate the front panel display - but the start button on the front...
