Hello All
I have a Altivar 320vfd ( B&R P74) and I wanted to control it via Modbus in UCCNC, I use a USB-RS485 converter from my desktop PC and to the VFD
it look as every thing is "Green " in the Modbus-plug in, but it wil not start up ??? anyone who have a Idea what I am doing wrong ????
Attachment 30070
the last number in the "Green" line is changing number all the time Attachment 30071
hope for help :-)

Hi Bent,
It looks like you are only reading registers, not writing (sending) any commands to the VFD register which controls start and stop and the spindle speed. I include pictures of my Modbus Master screens, yours should look similar regarding start / stop and spindle rpm command. Of course, register numbers don't match, so you can't just copy mine, but as you see, I am writing to a register for on/off and rpm. That process in my case can be done in one commend, or two if I wanted to, but I do it in one.

Hi A_Camera
I wil try to change to "write multiplyregister" and see if anything is happend then....
in my "Variables table" I only have "0" ???
I will be back :-)

You must also write a macro which actually controls everything.
This is my code, but as I explained in the mail to you, you must change the code to match your VFD. This code is running in a macro loop.Code:// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// M20304 Seting the spindle speed, runing CW/CCW and reading some VFD and spindle parameters.
// This is a Modbus interface macro and is running in a macro loop.
//
// When this macro is called it will check the Set Spindle Speed and the Spindle Speed Override DRO
// and will calculate the matching frequency. This is set in Modbus register which is sent to the VFD.
//
// After this step it will check the state of RUN CW/CCW LEDs and will set the necessary VFD commands.
//
// Last it will read some VFD parameters and display in UCCNC.

The macro loop monitors the buttons and places (in my case) 129 (CW), 133 (CCW) or 136 (STOP) commands in Modbus registers, together with the spindle rpm. My recommendation is that you keep it simple and initially you only try starting and stopping the spindle. Take the next step when you understand how everything is working together.
Note that you CAN'T simply copy my code and use it as it is, you must change it to match your VFD. This code works ONLY with my Bosch Rexroth EFC 5610. My code does so much more, and is too complicated to start with unless you are an experienced programmer.
