Thanks madman. For my first attempt at doing anything like this, I'm quite pleased at how its turned out. And more than pleased that I haven't burnt my shed down... yet :)
Had a lot of "fun" re-wiring all the limits on my 6040 yesterday. Wired the pump and probe, too. They are all working with the controller.
Apart from tidying a few things up, I'm pretty much done. Just the spindle to wire. Was going to buy a new VFD, but to save me 80 quid I've decided to use the Nowforever VFD from the old control box.
On the underside the VFD has terminals for R S E U V W.
I've traced the wires back and the R and S power inputs go back to, what looks like, an EMI filter. The filter looks like it goes back to the 240v AC mains power. I'm guessing I should re-use that filter, but I'm also not sure that I must use it (I've seen people use VFDs without one).
I take it that R=live, S = Neutral. Guessing that E = Earth - although it wasn't wired in my old box (Also found my spindle wasn't earthed to pin 4.)
I take it that U = pin 1 on the spindle, V = pin 2, and W = pin 3.
Spindle control on the Nowforever uses the terminals behind the hatch:
I believe the wiring from the DDCS is as follows:
M3/M5 on DDCS goes to X1 on the Nowforever
Ground on DDCS goes to Com
VSO on DDCS goes to Ain1 (10v)
Any help/advice or corrections with the above, appreciated.Last edited by Rye; 14-04-2018 at 12:57 PM.
