Testing The VFD, Break Resistor and Wiring to AXBBE

[Phil Mayor]

Hey Voyager,

I'm like you and also love having a go myself, I hope you can get some advice/info that will help your build, although I doubt it will be from me Muzzer has been a great help so far and he has helped me get to the stage I'm at and understand how I got there, but unfortunately I still can't get past the final hurdle - I must have read the manual 4 or 5 times but I can't see any other Parameter that relates to Breaking, so I just don't know why it's not working as it should... I have thought maybe it's the VFD itself but it is breaking, just not enough, which then leads me to think it's a parameter that just needs tweaking....

the braking mechanism was setup on my old vfd , i will hook it up and go through the settings and see what i can find on the braking side , i am stuck with the manual tool change button , i want to connect it with two solenoids in line ,one connected to the button the other connected so that it is disabled when the spindle is running , i just dont know how to go about it ,i would like it to be safe ,i dont want a tool ejected during a cut , i upgraded my machine 2 years ago from a chinese controller to uccnc ,it took me a while but i got there in the end , i am not into the electrical side of things but i really enjoyed the whole process. then i purchased an atc spindle and vfd and that is where im at now.
