Hello, I am in the final stages of upgrading my CNC router to a Chinese spindle (GDZ80X73-2.2) with Huanyang VFD (HY02D223B). I wired everything while I was waiting for my double shileded 16/4 cable to arrive in the mail. I set all the PDxxx's to the appropriate values for my spindle (400Hz, 220v, 6A...). I was able to set up Mach3 to turn on the VFD in FORward and REVerse and control its speed through PWM using the 0-10v output of my BOB. Problem is, when I got my cable and connected it to the spindle (grounding the shield at both ends) I was able to run the spindle from the minimum speed to the maximum speed I set (140Hz-400Hz) in the FORWARD direction ONLY. As soon I as try to REVERSE the frequency on the VFD struggles to increase and I see it flash an overcurrent error. If I let it run a few seconds it finally stops and gives me the E.oA.A error which I think means overcurrent at acceleration. The spindle moves freely in either direction if turned by hand and I have measured the resistance across the phases and everything seems ok. The spindle was running CCW so I changed 2 of the phase connections to get it to spin CW. Now it spins CW but I can't get it to reverse without getting the same errors. I am assuming this is a problem with the VFD maybe its deffective or maybe there is a setting that I am missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have a 2.2Kw spindle then your Amp setting would be to low, 8.5 to 9 Amps is the norm for a 2.2Kw 220v spindle

I would say you have some Parameter not set correct, you have no need to be running this spindle in reverse for normal use

There is a Parameter that blocks Reverse operation and this should be set, It also could be that your wiring is incorrect for the spindle as well

The normal wiring for these spindles is

Pin 1=U
Pin 2=V
Pin 3=W
Pin 4= Ground have you checked that the 4th pin is Ground to the spindle body if it is not you need to correct this as well

Hi mac thanks for your help.

That's what I was thinking too at first but my spindle says 6 amps on it and I found the same info online.

PD023 = 1 (0 is reverse rotation disabled)

I followed the wires to the VFD and made sure the pin #s and U,V,W matched and I got CCW rotation. That's when I swapped 2 of them to get it to go CW. Only problem now is that there is an intermittent screeching going on something like the bearings I guess but it comes and goes.

If all else fails I'll give up trying to run it in both directions... I just thought if it's capable of doing it, I want it set up

You may also need to program an input to accept the reverse direction signal. (Depends on the VFD model).
In some VFDs you can select that input screw terminal in the VFD with programming a parameter.
Also verify (measure) the voltage on the VFD for/rev terminal to make sure that your controller produces that signal.
Program M3 measure voltage and then M4 and measure voltage. It should be high and low or vica versa.

If the VFD goes into overcurrent then try to increase the spin-up (acceleration) time, that should be also a parameter in the VFD.

The voltage 0-10v has nothing to do with how the VFD Drive turns on in his case he will be using a Relay to turn the spindle On / Off FWD / REV

I have never said that the 0-10V has anything to do with the drive turns. So I have no idea what you talking about. :stickpoke

I think they have it labeled as the 380v spindle which would be 6A this is a common problem, just do the math and you will see what the amps should be for a 2.2Kw @ 220v

It is quite common to have to change 2 of the wires to get it to rotate the correct way good quality VFD Drives you can change the Rotation without changing the wires

Try swopping those 2 wires back as they where, and swap the other wire it should not make any difference but you never know with these spindles

The noise sounds like the bearings are skidding run at minimum speed for a while and see if the grease disperses better

Do you have 2 Relays setup for the FWD and REV

[dub_cnc]

Yes I have 2 relays set up. For now I have disabled the reverse direction in the VFD (PD023). I will try setting the current higher and trying again tomorrow. I'll let you know if this helps. Thanks again.
