I apologize again to put the post here because most people tend to look here alot.
ok I got my HITACHI X200-022SFEF now I need to set it for my water cool 2.2kw 220V 7.5A 24000RPM spindle GDZ-10. Maybe steve wanna help me with this?

[15mgtar]

I set
A001 - 00
A002 - 02
A003 - 50
A082 - 220
b012 - 7.5
H004 - 2
and run it and got error E05
I must be missing other settings that I do not know.

I don't remember seeing E05 (motor overload) when I did my install. My motor would spin very slowly. There were two settings that I needed to change: A003 and A004. This seems to be a sticky point for most Hitachi owners. Double check A061/A062 as well.

ok last night I reset according to this:
A001 - 00
A002 - 02
A003 - 400
A004 - 400
A082 - 220
b012 - 7.5
H003 - 2.2
H004 - 2
and it is running for 20 hours now without tripping.
Steve do you hook the x200 to your pc? I'm planning to hook it up to pc but hasn't got a clue of which breakout box and settings.
Thank you Steve.

[stevespo]

No, my spindle is not doing anything fancy with the PC. I do have it under on/off control via a relay from my break out board, but that's it. No speed control at this point because the knob on the front of the VFD handles that pretty well.

ok thanks Steve.
Anyone here got their Hitachi X200 connected to mach3? I'm planning todo so but haven't got a clue on how to, afraid might get it smoking.

got it working..

Here are my settings:

A001: 01 (terminal input speed control)
A002: 01 (run command from terminal input)
A003: 130Hz
A004: 400Hz
A082: 230VAC
H004: # of poles for your spindle
F001: 400Hz

My 0-10V leads from the BOB are fed into the "O" and "L" terminals. Hope this helps.

[diyengineer]

I have the 2.2KW watercooled spindle.. how many poles do i have! It never stated.. or came with any documentation.

programming mine now.

MRM the quoted commands below for A001 and A002 are if you want to use a breakoutboard to control the spindle speed right? If you want manual, then use 00 and 02 right?

That's correct; For Manual

A001 = 00
A002 = 02

Updated Settings! got it to work!!

Edit** she screams now! :P Wooo hooo!
Damn A003 Base Frequency was set incorrectly. I thought "base" sounded like Minimum but NOPE. set it to 400HZ and you will be on your way!

Sorry about that DIY. A003 should be 400. Glad you got it working!

Thank you Very much. I would have been stuck if it was not for you! Hopefully this will help many people.

I dont have a phototachometer/laser to count the RPM.

To calculate speed from Hz you use the following equation:
(frequency x 120) / (Number of poles)

I'm starting to think that all these spindles are 2 pole, NOT 4 pole!
Reason being:

(400Hz x 120) / (4 poles) = 12,000 RPM (which is not the MAX)

(400Hz x 120) / (2 poles)= 24,000RPM (Which is the MAX)

I just reset H004: Down to 2 poles, and it appears to run twice as fast! The X200 Stock comes with this setting @ 4 Poles, so make sure to switch it. without a tachometer you would never know.

130Hz should ballpark you around the (whats the recommended minimum?) 7800RPM range, with a max of 400Hz 24,000RPM. I Need to order up a tach, its on my wish list. haha

Note: The REAL RPM will be slightly less than the frequency calculation due to something known as "slip".

On the VFD which port do i use to access the 0-10V signal so that mach can control it through the breakout board?

The "O" and "L" ports. Are you going 0-10V analog or PWM? If you're going PWM, "H" is your 10V reference.

I'm in the process of making my console. I'll outline most of this stuff and pokeys/mach3 interface in my thread during the next 2 weeks.

I believe I need the 0-10Volts as required by the cnc4pc C32 break out board.

"Built-in Variable Speed Control. It has an optoisolated analog 0-10VDC output that will convert a step signal into an analog signal that can be used to command a commercial VFD. This analog can be adjusted using on-board pot, so this board can be adjusted to other voltages."

Can the board do either or? Is one better than another?

I have the same board on my mill. It's analog. I prefer it over pwm as you can't get the full vref.

Excellent! Sounds like that should be pretty easy to setup then!

I will report back when she is all wired up haha.

Thank You Very Much!!

So the C32 Board uses a analog signal 0-10V.

I'm currently looking into how to switch the VFD power on and off with a relay so i can turn the VFD on and off with MACH.

CNC4PC

Is that usually normal practice? I was just going to flip the switch and control the speed, but i figured why not have mach turn it on and off right? Thoughts?
