So, going forward I will be testing each of the above for myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m starting with the Huanyang HY series VFD. This specific model is for 110 vac input and 110 vac 3 phase output. The spindle is a 2.2 kW 110 vac 3 phase 400 Hz motor with water cooling. The cooling pump is a submersible aquarium style pump that is being controlled from LinuxCNC to automatically turn on and off when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tested out two methods of controlling the VFD. The first method is using the Mesa 7i76e, which has a dedicated terminal block for analog spindle control. The second method is RS-485 control direct from the PC to VFD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the details are documented in an article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diycncdesign.com\/linuxcnc-2.8-huanyang-vfd.html\">controlling a Huanyang VFD and spindle from Linux CNC 2.8<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Along with the electronics upgrade, a 2.2 kW Huanyang VFD and water cooled spindle has been installed in place of the previous DeWalt routers I had been using (both the DW618 and DWP611).
