VFD startup codes. What VFD settings for a newbie

[northbourne nick]

29718Hi Everybody.

My first post since joining this forum, here goes.....

Im just setting out building my first CNC router table. All was going well until I decided to fit it out with a water cooled spindle & VFD. Watching the pennies I opted for an Ebay 1.5Kw Water Cooled Spindle and an unbranded XSY-AT1 VFD, both have reasonable reviews!


Firstly:
On powering up the VFD i get two codes displayed. 19103 then 13001 if anybody could tell me what they mean I would be very grateful as I can not find any information on this.

Secondly:
What seems to be the age old questions, the VFD settings. Has anybody got the same configuration(below) as mine and are willing to share their settings?


The motor is 220V / 400Hz / 1.5Kw

The VFD is XSY-AT1 / 1.5Kw max current 8A.

I've attached a photo of the parameter sheet as the code numbers seem to be different depending on which brand VFD it is.
The codes I have changed are
P01 Reference frequency - 400
P03 intermediate frequency - 200
P06 Maximum Operating - 400
P07 minimum operating - 0
P21 revolution for 50Hz - 3000
P26 working frequency - 400
P78 main current overload - 6000

The motor runs with the above setting but when I started to increase the speed there was a small wisp of smoke from connector plug or thereabouts. I stopped the motor, and after a check with an ohmmeter reckon I saved any damage.

Any advice most welcome on my setting much appreciated as I'm starting to disappear up my own tailpipe with this.

Many thanks in advance.

This is not the exact same driver, but has some similar features and may be of some help.
I have it in PDF format and don't know how to attach it here so I added it to my dropbox

Hi regpye

Thank you for sharing your settings. They will come in handy. I am quite surprised on the lack of information on these Chinese VFD's

Different motor but this video I made a while back might help a bit

That is such an exceptionally helpful video. Thank you! Is your settings spreadsheet available for purchase anywhere?

I go into a bit more detail in episode 9 and you might be able to screen grab some stills. I think I created a pdf and uploaded it on this forum but can’t remember if I was going to do it or actually did it ! I’m away from the pc (on my phone) so will have to wait a bit.

I just watched #9 earlier today. So much good info there. If you do find that pdf, I’d appreciate a link. No rush. My motor doesn’t show up until next week.

I'll start a new thread with various links and info which may help others . . .

Did you figure out why you are/were getting the 19103 code? My vfd has been working well for about 6 months but now throws that code on start-up and none of the buttons respond.

Thanks!

How do people estop these water-cooled spindles?

You can use one of the VFD inputs and program it as an e-stop, but when properly connected to the controller when the E-stop has been pushed the controller should shut down it's outputs which will in turn stop the RUN signal.

Also on a properly built machine, the E-stop will be hard wired to some relays which will physically disconnect the run signals rather than rely on just software to stop the machine.

completely agree.

the chinglish manual is really hard going.

any hints for which input is the estop?

The Digital inputs are usually programable so you can set any of them to do what you want, I'm guessing it's an Huanyang VFD but I haven't got a manual in front of me but will have a look tomorrow when I get to work.
