Mean that the variable output voltage of the G540 would be 0 to 9.1V, slightly less than spec but close enough. The simplest solution I can think of would be to drop the voltage slightly with a 9.1V Zener diode and a resistor. It is worth an email to Gecko to get a little more info. If that is the recommendation I would stick to it. I don't recall seeing anything in the G540 manual, but I take your word that it is there, the recommendation not to exceed 12V. With the long history of 12V use in automotive service then '12V' can be a bit flexible. A more aggressive charge rate as is the norm for modern cars is 14.2V to 14.5V. A modest charge rate could be secured byĬharging at 13.2V.

The generator (old school)/altenator will elevate the voltage to charge the battery. When in automotive service when the engine runs In fact when absolutelyįully charged you might expect 2.2V per cell for a total output voltage of 12.6V. Its quite common for a 'nominal 12V' supply to be somewhat more, as in your case 13.2V.Īs you know 12V is the common output voltage of an automotive 6 cell flooded lead acid battery. Oh I should mentioned Ive changed all the setup parameters on the VFD to suit analog control through AIN1.īut yea no matter what I try it just turns the spindle on straight away at 200odd hz Ive tried setting different pins, setting active low, changing spindle FWD to Spindle ON, even swapped the wires on the VFD (x1 and AIN1) Spindle FWD - Enabled - Device = ESS - Output Name Spindle FWD Spindle FWD - Enabled - Mach Mapping ESS - Pin1 Mapping "Spindle FWD" Spindle Motor PWM - Enabled - Mach Mapping ESS Only - Pin1 Mapping "Spindle PWM" Port 1 - Pin9 - Out - Active High - Spindle FWD Port 1 - Pin8 - Out - Active High - Spindle PWM Gecko G540 Pin 9 (VFD 10V) -> AIN1 (Analog Input 1)įrequency Hz = 400z (im not actually sure about this one? how do you know the base hz, I just choose the max hz Gecko G540 Pin 8 (VFD Out) -> X1 Terminal on VFD (Spindle FWD Input) Gecko G540 Pin 7 (VFD Ground) -> Comm Terminal on VFD

Ive set it all up as I believe it should be (following manuals etc) but as soon as I connect the wiring from the GeckoG540 to the VFD it activates the spindle and sets it at 232hz no matter what I change?

The above tips as well as check not only help in safe electric wiring changes as well as replacements but also pave a way for safer homes.Ive been using the setup for awhile with just the Potentiometer on the VFD for spindle control, I want to setup software control with the ESS/Gecko/Mach4 Make sure to select the right line for your need. There are various different kinds of wires available in the industry – Heat proof, Fire Resistant, Industrial Level etc. Enclosures safeguard the connection as well as typically the people from unintended contacts with all those connections. Containers & ClampsĪn individual need to guarantee enclosing all electrical wiring connections in appropriate electrical boxes or clamps. Follow the manufacturer’s wiring layouts & understand grounding systems. Grounding provides the safe path with regard to extra electric energy in order to pass in case of a problem or any additional issue. For example, a 30-amp circuit should have a new right-gauge wiring to prevent fire threat. Before setting up or changing cabling, one must have the proper amp rating for those circuits.
Amperage RatingĪmperage Rating or even Amp needs to be checked for all electrical wiring & devices. As soon as untangled, it allows in easier handling & neater storage.
Next thing is in order to toss them around the floor as though you’re throwing a coiled rope. Pull typically the cable from the particular centre of the coils & lift a handful of coils. The best approach to easily instal cables is to straighten them out there first. Sometimes, even if you shut away power, some electrical wiring can be connected in order to another circuit as well as hence may still pose a risk of electric shock. Power TestsĪlways check & test wires and devices for power inside typically the box you are working in to avoid electric shock before working on all of them.
