Hotend Fan not starting
-
Hi *,
I have one tool and I want to have a temp controlled Fan:
M950 F1 C"fan1" Q500 M106 P1 S1 H1 T45 C"Hotend" M563 P0 S"Extrudor" D0 H1 F1
I got this configuration idea from:
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_and_configuring_fansMy understanding is that the Fan should start at 45°C, but "noting" happens. The fan works when I connect it to "fan0". So I guess that the wiring is OK
(Duet 2 FW; 3.01-RC12)I see the 24V on on the "fan1" when I measure without a fan and a temperature below 45. :? Should that be the case?
The complete config is below.
And ideas?
Cheers, Chriss

As many people before, you mixed up hotend fan with tool fan, Hotend fan is not your tool fan, printed part cooling fan is. So change F1 to F0 in your tools definition. That way printed part fan will be controlled by gcode and hotend fan by temperature, as it supposed to be.
-
Thanks for the tip, but I have to admit that I have a deadlock now in my brain.
How does your recommendation, to use "F0" as the hot-end cooler, with the documentation than?
We recommend you use the FAN1 connector for a thermostatically-controlled hot end fan, because on the Duet 2 it defaults to being on at power up, to provide maximum safety if you restart your Duet when the hot end is hot.
I understand here that FAN0 should cool the printed material and FAN1 is for the hot-end.
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_and_configuring_fans#Section_Allocating_fans_to_tools
tells me:After this whenever tool 0 is selected, sending M106 Snnn will control fan 0. With tool 1, fan 1 and tool 2 fan 2.
I'm sure your approach is correct and will work, but I want to understand where I misunderstood the documentation than.

@Chriss Your fans look fine to me. Fan 0 is the part cooling fan - non thermostatic - all fine and dandy. Fan1 is the hot end fan - comes on a 45 with heater1, which is the hot end heater - again, all fine and dandy.
I think the problem is in your tool definition. This:...........
M563 P0 S"Extrudor" D0 H1 F1
............Sets the part cooling fan for that tool to be fan 1. BUT fan 1 is the hot end cooling fan, not the part cooling fan. So take the "F1" off the end of that M563 (or use F0) and you should be good.
Edit. Think of a tool as a combination of one or more heaters, one or more extruders, and one or more part cooling fans and remember that thermostatically controlled fans are separate items and are independent of tools.

@aidar said in Hotend Fan not starting:
Exactly what i said.
I know. But @Chriss said "I have a deadlock now in my brain". So I thought some elaboration on your concise explanation might help him to understand.
-
Yes, i hope so, thank you.
-
Thanks for your patience.
@aidar You explanations made aidar's explanation a bit clearer to me.
But I'm still a bit lost. With at least two things:
1:
I still have the two fans:
0 = "Part cooling fan"
1= "Hot end fan"
And the tool:
M563 P0 S"Extrudor" D0 H1 F0
I understand that this binds the Fan0 (aka "the part cooling fan") to the tool "Extrudor". But how do I tell the "Fan1" than that it cools this tool?2:
The change you guys advised did not changed the behavior. The fan on the terminal do not start spinning when the temperature reaches 45°C or higher.Cheers, Chriss

You don't need to. Fan 1 is "tied" to heater 1 and heater 1 is "tied" to tool 0. So when heater 1 reaches 45, the fan should come on.
-
Check the wiring. Check the fan itself. Does it work if you connect it to a different port on the board? Is it the voltage set correctly for that fan?

Unfortunately is that not my experience, my confusion may come from that. I have never seen a working set.
- Check the wiring. Check the fan itself. Does it work if you connect it to a different port on the board? Is it the voltage set correctly for that fan?
Yes, the fan works when I connect it to any of the always on fans. I tested already with a "testfan, a simple fan just with a connector and without any complex wiring or buck-down modules.
The voltage is, as expected, 24V.I measure 24V when there is nothing connected to FAN1, it drops down down to 3-4V as soon as I connect a fan. I guess that comes from the regulator itself.
I changed M950 to test with "fan2"
M950 F1 C"fan1" Q500
Without luck unfortunately.
Any other ideas?
Cheer, Chriss

@Chriss Can you post your config.g as it is now. Just so we can eliminate the possibility that it's a configuration issue. Does Fan 0 work? Test by sending M106 P0 S255.
-
Yes, Fan0 works, I can control it via the slider on the web-interface and the g-code. The two fans work accordingly to the connectors where they are connected to.
I removed the Fan1 from the tool to make it controllable as Fan0. Without any success.
I added now "Fan2" for testing:
M950 F2 C"fan2" Q500 M106 P2 S0 H-1
I connected my test fan to it and used the slider to tune it, without any success. So I understand now that "Fan0" is the only one which works.
I'm close to give up here.
I have a Duex5 connected to the board, too. I think I will go for that and connect the hot-end fan to one of this connectors. That makes to me more sense anyway. The physical fan needs 12V, the board is on 24V. So I can configure the fans on the Duex5 to 12V if I got it right.Or I will jump up to FW 3.1 first.. I'm not sure...
(complete config.g below)
