3 years ago Hi sflom,
Could you add some pictures of your controller inside your cabinet so we can see the wire routing etc?
What command are you using to turn on the relay to activate the coolant?
Form these messages:
[MSG:Initializing RS485 VFD spindle] [MSG:Auto-RTS in use] [MSG:VFD RS485 Tx:GPIO(4) Rx:GPIO(25) RTS:None] [MSG:Client Started] [MSG:Connecting WIFI] [MSG:Connecting.] [MSG:VFD: VFD settings read: RPM Range(6000, 24000)]]
You have bidirectional communication before powering the Spindle, so we are likely chasing a noise issue or a spin-up time issue.

So I have been struggling getting my QueenBee 1515 with the CNC Xpro V5 to communicate with my HuanYang VFD - 2.2kw water cooled spindle via USB. I can issue the M3 S6000 command and the spindle starts and the relay kicks on my water pump. After a little while, I get the [MSG:Spindle RS485 Unresponsive 6] [MSG:Critical Spindle RS485 Unresponsive] ALARM:10 [MSG:Critical Spindle RS485 did not reach speed 6000. Reported speed is -1 rpm.] ok ALARM:10
I purchased an inline power filter, star grounding and ferrite chokes to help with interference. I added these products and was able to get the spindle to start and run error free for one evening on the bench. The next evening, I mocked up my electronics cabinet and added the parts where I thought they might fit and decided to verify it was still working. But I started getting unresponsive messages and I can not turn off the spindle (again).
I seen the latest guide that Spark-Concepts wrote up for the RS485 spindle control but that hasn't helped me. I've reset my VFD and reinstalled my firmware but still can't get past this. I'm hoping it just a setting that I'm missing.
I'm also using CNCjs to communicate via USB. The $H works fine.
Any suggestions are great appreciated.
