Thor, or should that be Zeus?

could be as simple as the huge braking resistor you have ordered wasnt in stock. (i buy mine on ebay)

He reckons it was all posted last week, so lets see.

Ye, saw those. Suppose I could have gone that way (Cheaper), that said, at least with his, it should all work without issue.

What type of ramp down time do you use on your spindle?

Thanks

5 seconds - without braking resistor
tested at 3 seconds with
but being kind to my spindle!

Not yet, looks like it arrived yesterday and cleared customs today. Might get it tomorrow I hope, else its next week, pity, would be nice to try it this weekend if possible.

Cool
Will you be running it the traditional way or by modbus-
As the modbus instructions are none existent lol.
I have worked out how to do everything with it though

0-10v, no need for modbus.

So, this was delivered this morning. Hopefully Ill have it running over the weekend. Looking forward to having a spindle that doesnt trip out when I stop it (current VFD struggles to stop the spindle, unless you use a very long ramp down time).

Received. Big box, poorly protected on the back. Alu frame mounts bent. 'Small' braking resistor.
