    G540 VFD hook up help

    I'm in the process of hooking up my g540 for my cnc conversion on my g0752 lathe. I have mach 3 running and controlling the movement side of everything. I'm needing to hook the board up to the VFD on the grizzly and I'm pretty sure that I know what terminals I hook it up to but would just like some conformation if i can get it.
    From the way I'm looking at the diagram it looks like i hook pin 9 on the G540 to the 10v blue wire. Pin 8 to the brown wire labeled AVI, and Pin 7 to the Black AMC wire on the VFD.

    Re: G540 VFD hook up help

    Hi I'm in the same boat with a G0752. VFD on the G0752 is a Delta VFD007E11A. If you need the cable to connect the programming display to the VFD they're on ebay for around $20 from China, or $50 from an electronics website (if they still carry them).
    I don't have any parts ordered yet for the conversion, but I expect to use a pre-built Gecko G540 box from https://www.youtube.com/user/corvetteguy50 and his ebay store.

    Would prefer not to have to buy a whole new VFD, but I suspect it will be possible to control the spindle via the VFD, so I would like to hear how your project went.
    I don't know how to tell if the Ethernet port on the back can be used to control the motor, sadly. The documentation can be found here though: https://www.damencnc.com/products/cn...w_58_2256_GB_1
