setting up Moeller VFD to chinese spindle

[routercnc]

No worries - it's good to know there's a wealth of experience between you two when I get stuck on the electrical side. John, you have a great sense of humour and your take on life often makes me chuckle! Keep up the good work.

The manuals could be much better than they are, and they assume you are a Professional, not home user (it mentions this somewhere in the manual or on the website). They also don't know what you are connecting it up to so can't suggest anything in particular.

It would be good if the Chinese Spindles came with a table showing as many of the relevant parameters as possible, with a setting, and brief description so that you could interpret these to use with any VFD. But alas no. The worrying thing about it all is you are playing with something running off the mains and costing about £600. Smoke could come out at any moment!

For anyone who has stumbled across this post, and is having the same problem, here is the csv file of my working setup (Chinese 1.5Kw spindle with Moeller DV51-322 VFD) which you might be able to correlate over to your VFD.

One final thing, there is a picture in the manual showing the VFD connected to the PC using an RJ45 cable (but obvously no other instructions - that would be too easy). The keypad for the VFD can be removed to reveal an RJ45 socket. I tried plugging a cable between the PC and the VFD, and then running the drive software on the PC, but couldn't get them to talk to each other. No big deal, but would have been interesting to try that out. Has anyone tried this or have any ideas?
