Ok, I received the new adapters, plugged everything in and started spindle talker and everything works as advertised. I opened uccnc typed s24000, enter. 24000 appeared in the box. Hit start, the spindle started to turn, stopped and I got this message:
the application lost the connection with the motion controller device. Check the connection. The application is closing now.
if I restart the application, it goes into demo mode. I have to unplug the uc100, plug it back in to get uccnc to restart.
Any ideas?
thanks
The VFD and/or spindle wiring is interfering with the UC100 USB connection.
Is the spindle using shielded wire, and properly grounded?
You might want to try a shielded USB cable with ferrite beads on it.

I’m using a shielded twisted pair I got from our avionics shop. Grounded on both ends. Shielded power wire. I’m also using a shielded usb cable, but no ferrite beads. I’m sure I have one though. I’ll give that a try.
thanks
You have broken the most important rule of using shielded cable. Thou shalt ground the shield at one end only. Usually the shield is connected at the VFD end. Grounding the shield at both ends cause earth loops and a world of trouble.

Hello everyone, I am new to this community and I hope I am posting my problem on the proper thread.
I am building a large router 4' x 8' using the UB1 / UC300ETH control board, Huanyang VFD, a Chineese spindle and UCCNC software.
Everything works fine manually, I can easily control the spindle through my VFD () with its front panel .
However, I cannot control the VFD from UCCNC with the HYPLUGIN12.
Before posting my problem I ran through all related threads of CNCZONE and CNCDRIVE and, as suggested in some of them, used the utility SpindleTalker to troubleshoot.
With SpindleTalker running I have complete control of the VFD.
Therefore it eliminates all issues related to communication.
I have redone many times the istallation of the HY-12 plugins following rigorously the required steps suggested in the threads and including Youtube.
Is it possible that the HY-12 version is my problem and that I should use the HY-14 version ?
If so I was not able to find where I can downloaded it from (I was able to download the HY-12 version from a link in a thread)
Thanks for your help
Control board : UB1 with UC300ETH
Spindle: 2.2KW motor - Water-cooled 220 VAC
VFD: Huanyang HY02D223B
USB-RS485 adaptor: 2 differents models with drivers CH341SER or Silicon LabsCP210x
Software: UCCNC ver. 1.2049
UCCNC Screensets: Both UCCNS Standard and Screenset2017
HY plugin for VFD: HY-12
Troubleshoot utility: SpindleTalker2
Hi ybouchard, if you have full control with spindle talker than it must be a settings issue, please post your .pro file so I can see your settings. You can find it in your UCCNC directory /Profiles
If using 2017 screenset you must set your spindle speed textfield to #2451. Make sure it's higher than your min RPM setting.
Dan
Here is attached my profile file (UC300ETH-Screenset2017.pro of which I changed the extension to .txt enable upload )
Meanwhile, yesterday evening, I was able to find on the internet an old HY10 plugin.
Preliminary tests seems to be positive.
Therefore, may be the more recent HY14 would be good.
Is HY14 available and where from ?
Yves
Hi Yves
I went through the PRO file and found the relevant part of the file refering to the plugin
[Hyplugin]
OnOff=False
AmpCB=False
Selectedport=COM4
Selectedbaud=9600
SelectedFreq=400
Selectedminrpm=2000
Selectedmaxrpm=24000
SactField=20666
AmpFeild=
When using HY12 I'm fairly sure that SactField should be blank in your profile. The 20666 was used on previous versions.
You also need to edit the screen and change the RPM field number from 870 to 2451 as Dan mentioned.
I haven't seen HY14 myself but haven't been as active in this thread as I would like to be.
hope you get it sorted.
Cheers

Dan told me two weeks ago that HY12 is the latest.
HY14 was a test that was not released.

Thank you all for trying to help me.
After multiple unsuccessful attempts in trying to make it work with my actual computer, I gave up and build / configured a new computer on which the Plugin is finally working
I will never know what was wrong with my first computer and why SpindleTalker was working and not the plugin but I moved on...
Thanks again
Yves
Hi all
Thanks to ger21 and Dan for their work on uccnc. I've been happily using the 2017 screenset and thought I'd give rs485 spindle control a go.
Sadly I've not been able to get it working and I'm at the point where I'm out of ideas and need a nudge.
I'm using the jbtek usb rs485 adaptor, this is the one ger21 recommends from Amazon. I actually bought 3 of these now thinking I was having bad luck with faulty adaptors but all display the same problem so I think the problem lies elsewhere. I'm using hyplugin12 and the drivers linked on ger21 website.
When using spindletalker2 I get a green light for com4 but no communication from the vfd. I've followed the installation guide for the hyplugin12 too.
Any help would be appreciated.
Have you set all the VFD parameters as described in the instructions?

Hi. I have the following set;
000 = 0
001 = 2
002 = 2
003 = 240
004 = 400
163 = 1
164 = 1
165 = 3
Anything I've missed or set incorrectly?
The com4 baud rate is 9600 with 8 bits no parity and 1 stop bit. Driver appears to be installed correctly and shows no problems in device manager.
Since I've tried 3 different intel rs485 adaptors I really doubt that's the issue so it's either the vfd which is around 2012 vintage, don't know if they made them different back then or if it's the pc.
Make sure the VFD terminals are actually wired to something internally? I seem to recall that some older Huanyang's did not come with the RS-485 components?

Look inside and see if the terminals are wired to anything? Not sure how easy it is to see without taking it apart?

Dunno really its hard to say. The terminals are soldered to the pcb and there's traces. The PCB appears fully populated and the manual, although in chinese, does clearly reference rs485 and modbus when referring to pd002, pd163 etc. At this point I don't have a clue. After opening the vfd I did find a sticker with a manufacturing date of June 2011 so this is a pretty old example. I'm surprised its lasted all these years considering how cheaply these things are made.
