Hi! I am looking to upgrade my current CNC setup and hoping that someone more knowledgeable than myself can help answer a few of my questions below. I have tried to reach out to CNC4PC but their contact form is not working and their phone goes to voicemail.
My setup:
+ Custom 4 axis CNC Machine
+ Huanyang 220V VFD + Spindle (2.2KW)
+ MACH3 software, running Windows 10 64 bit, connected to CNC via Parallel port and the UC100 USB motion controller
+ 6 Stepper motors with dedicated stepper drivers
(1) I have a Huanyang VFD + Spindle, and based on hookup documents for the C11G I see that I will need both a 5V and 12V power supply in order to power the logical components of the board, and the VFD control. Could I purchase an RS-15-12 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/MEAN-WELL-R...53.m1438.l2649) and RS-15-5 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-VDC-3-Amp...53.m1438.l2649) power supplies to fill this requirement?
(2) Based on what I read, I CANNOT have these power supplies grounded to the same place. If that is true, what should I ground these power supplies to, if not the ground wire that comes from the AC power supply cable?
(3) Will the C11G board work with MACH3 via the UC100 USB motion controller (coming from Windows 10, 64 bit)? Do I need any additional drivers for Windows beyond those that came with the UC100?
Any help anyone can provide would be super appreciated!
