Awesome, glad it's under control! Yeah, the PD11, PD14/PD15 stuff is really more about what you decide is right for your equipment.

Happy routing!

So, nothing should be set to 50hz - all of those are defaulting to the lowest of the three common motor frequencies ( 50, 60, 400 ). You have a spindle, not a pump motor, so PD4,5,72 should all be...

I don't think that PDF is correct. The model name scheme doesn't match. Using this one. (http://zlitos.com/pub_file/00005_inverter/inverter_instruction_manual.pdf)

Okay, so those sound like reasonable voltage readings. Now let's confirm polarity.

You've got the (-) side of the meter on ACM, and the (+) side on VI, and the reading is positive voltage? If...

That control voltage should be DC. If you're measuring it in AC, then you're basically measuring the noise and power supply ripple, not the signal value.

If the meter really was in Volts AC, can...

Well, for measuring simple DC voltage, Harbor Freight will sell you a disposable piece of junk for 6 bucks or so. I must own five of them, scattered around so that I don't have to go fetch the one...

So not getting a reading from ACM to VI is weird, and so is getting a reading from DCM to VI. It makes me continue to be suspicious of a wiring error. I assume the reading at VI must have moved...

What does a meter with black on ACM and red on VI show during the test? Any chance you have aout and agnd reversed?

I notice you have a yellow/green wire connected to VI, does that go to aout as...

That all seems correct. The redundant commons (ACM and DCM) are pretty er, commonly found for convenience when wiring multiple harnesses to the VFD.

I suspect that the trim point all the way down...

I think I would hang a meter across the analog speed input of your VFD to see what the measurement is, and if it varies in response to changing the software setting.

Based on what you've described...

Or change the polarity on the direction pin, if your software allows.

Whoops, I missed that. So you're trying to PWM to control the frequency, and you're wired from the PMDX-107 to that input? Do you have PD-002 set to 1 ?

If I'm looking at the right online manuals, you need to set PD-163, PD-164, PD-165 to an address, baud rate, and type of modbus protocol you want to use. Also PD-002 for what source controls...

In the audio of that video, it sounds like the motors are actually spinning. I wouldn't expect to hear that accell - run - decell sound if the motor was unable to move. From that angle I can't see...

Why hardened? I have 49 malleable square for 5/16 bolts; PM me with what you need and you can have 'em for shipping - or less if the shipping is trivial. I'd like to hold onto a few for odds and...
