What's trick with the display is there is another digit you need to go left to inter the 4, so change the 5 to 0 and move left to put the 4.

OOh I just noticed what you said there - drop the 5 value to zero first then move left? I'll go try that, paint's drying so I'm stuck for a while.

[TaffyCarl]

Nope didn't work, after getting through the d00X section when I try to change the 50.00 it changes it to 050.0 that's the only change I get, a change in the point.
hmmmmm

Have you tried this

And here or some YouTube videos

Might be different model, but setup screen is same

Yes I have. I've got print outs of the parameters etc on my workbench in the garage and sit with my ipad watching videos (those two included) and the parameters comparing things - still no joy.

Here's the video of what's happening, included is the shudder worthy noise the spindle makes.

I remember having the entering 400 long back when I did mine, it is tricky getting the far left digits entered especially if there is a max number (hard-coded in the firmware that it won't let you go over) another thing verify your spindle has 220 volts on it. if your power in is 220.
try going left of the 50 and put 3 and then change the 5 to 0 and then back to the 3 and change to 4

Try it in the order that that was posted here before

you already did the factory reset so go to step 2 and hang d002 first then d001 and so on.

1) Reset the VFD to factory settings
a) Set D001 to 1
b) Set D176 to 1 and press Func (this resets VFD to factory settings)
c) Set D001 to 1this allows you to change settings
2) Reset the VFD to 400Hz max operating frequency rather than the 50Hz default:
a) Set D002 to 400 (need to set this before D000)
b) Set D000 to 400
c) Set D003 to 400
d) Set D009 to 400
e) Set D021 to 400
f) Set D093 to 400

When it's on the 50 screen, nothing is changeable apart from it shifting the point, I tried to change the 0 before the 5 and it doesn't change it's either 50.00 or 05.00 - no amount of button pushing makes any difference. The 0 stays a 0 the 5 stays a 5 - can't go up nor down any digits??

even D002 ? this one has to be set first, it might restrict the other settings
D002 Highest operation frequency 0.0 – 400.00Hz Restrict the highest frequency of the converter output

Yep, even d002. The only changes I can make are D001 and D176 - nothing else is changeable.

I have just purchased the CNCEST 1500 usb 6040 and dont seem to be able to get it to talk with the computer and or the Mach3 software

With switch in manual mode I can use the dial pot to start and stop the spindle speed but if I switch to PC mode nothing happens

When the router is connect to computer by usb a HID compliant device and a usb input device shows up in device manager without errors

Device manager also shows VSO DEVICE / Mach3 driver again all good

The supplier sent me a copy of mach3 to install and after installation copy 4 files into the mach 3 directory, 1 seems to be Illegal licence, a *.dat file and a couple of others'
after that when mach3 is opened all settings for ports/Pins etc are supposed to be loaded and correct for this machine

Then u need to put in 24000 in spindle control etc and it should RUN with keyboard and or mach3 button but nothing happens.

Is there any way I can tell if the router and computer are connected

Computer is running windows 7 no antivirus

I too have been to this rodeo. The maker will not, cannot supply an english version of the vfd manual. Then I noted it was turning backwards so I swapped 2 motor leads, and it ran fwd for about a month while I'm finishing up the rest of the setup. While the vfd has a very plainly marked fwd and rev terminals, they can't be made to work, having no effect. Then last week while wriring up home switches, I noted it was running backwards again, without changing anything that touched the spindle controls in LinuxCNC, so I said screw it and ordered a another 110 volt vfd from the same maker that supplied the vfd for my Sheldon lathe conversion. Then today, while adding the last home switch, I noted it was running fwd again. You will likely be time, but not money ahead to pitch that whole box and do what I did, which was replace the motor drivers and their psu with something that can actually do the job, a 500 watt 40 volt psu and a stack of 4 2M542 drivers. The supplied 24 volt supply goes into foldback when the rotary is plugged in, running at 14 volts. Ditch it and put in something that can actually drive motors at 200+ IPM. And since the vfd isn't sure which direction to run the spindle motor, just ditch the whole box. The rest of the machine isn't too bad although it could use bigger X rails for improved rigidity in the y direction. If you could buy the machine sans that box of crap for around $800+freight it would be a good buy. For $1350 with freight and zero support, leave it in the box in the Chinese warehouse and get something else. You'll be happier in the long run. I've got it, I'm stuck with it, so I'm sinking additional money into it to get a working machine. Probably close to $2500 by the time its running well.

im sure in one of the setup videos i watched allowed u to change motor rotation in the mach3 software

I have these instructions but have not one clue how to apply them. I press function set d001 then after that Im lost, what button is pressed next? up, down left right. i have now read and reread the instructions so many times. i just turn the thing off and leave the workshop angry. absolutely flumoxed the instructions need to be more clear..

I feel for you mate. I have the same problem sometimes.Its very hard to write instruction for other people. I do it at work.

I don't have this setup but I will try to help if I can.

Think of the FUNC ket as the ENTER key.
Use < to select the next digit position to the left.
Use Up and Down arrows to to change the position selected Up or Down.
Use FUNC button to save the changes.

Make some notes that YOU can follow for next time.

Good luck.

I do really appreciate your reply, I will go and have a go, As I am an absolute beginner at this Ido not want to screw this up. Many many thanks fortaking the time to help and I will let you know how I get on.

Thanks

Hello!

I have the exact same problem. I think it started as soon as I set d176 to 1.

Please tell me you figured it out? Please let me know!

Thanks

[nheydari]

Well the reason you see the 50.00 flashing is because you reset the VFD to factory settings. By the way did you download the prt-e1500w translated manual from this site go find it and look it over, I posted it the other day?

So now what you have to do is start inputting data from scratch, first you need to go to d001 and change it, its currently at 0 and needs to be set to no. 1 to make changes to the current "d" settings list.
Then as Greg pointed out there is a sequence you have to follow to input data correctly, once you understand this and remember it has to be in that order, it will get easier as I found out from the beginning. Then using all of Greg's info input the data, when your done inputting the data correctly you can then hit the function button and it will reset to green meaning you've input all the correct data and the VFD now knows it has enough data to start safely.

The VFD will change the flashing zeros and lock to a steady list of zeros and stay that way.You have completed the basic reset of the VFD all inputs have taken. If you see the 50.00 flashing on the screen your still at the basic reset values that are flashing. You have to put in all the correct ones before it clears. So you really have to pay attention to what's happening so you don't mess up the inputs or you'll miss one and that's not a good thing, then once your sure you have it
reset d001 to zero which now locks all the values you put in because if you don't then you or someonelse can change the values at ant time till you lock it up with the d001 reset to "0" its gonna take a little getting use too and please read the manual first, give it a go good luck,

P.s using these settings and making some adjustments I now have my system up and running as of yesterday with the mach3 program controlling the spindle speed, I still need to make some adjustments in my opinion but hay its more then I had 4 weeks ago, nothing but flashing zeros and no idea why, straight out of the boxmachono info at all till I came here, the instant I turned it on it was flashing zeros and would not lock to green when I hit the function key, it will once you get the inputs correct.

Later CHIMERA1960

Thank you for this information!! It solved my problem.
