Any PWM Fan not working
-
Hi all,
I have not been able to get any PWM fan working as a part cooling fan.
I have tried all PWM fan outputs, ensuring that fan 1 and 2 aren't thermostatically controlled.The fans work when plugged into the 'always on' section but don't when not.
Pictured are the fans in question, two 40mm x 20mm fans from Noctua.
Thanks in advance,
Tom

What do you have for M106 and M563?
-
Thanks for linking the image properly!
In my config.g I have the below for M563 but nothing for M106. Should this be in the config.g file or in another?
; Tool definition
M563 P0 D0 H1 ; Define tool 0
G10 P0 S0 R0 ; Set tool 0 operating and standby temperatures
;*** If you have a dual-nozzle build, un-comment the following 3 lines
M563 P1 D1 H2 ; Define tool 1
G10 P1 S0 R0 ; Set tool 1 operating and standby temperaturesCheers,
Tom

Yep, need to have an M106 to keep it from running as a temp sensitive fan.

If you look at that thread, he has 40x40x20 fans as well, but had to add the F10 at the end of his M106.

Not all fans run happily with PWM. IIRC the default PWM frequency is 250Hz but lowering it to 100 or less may be what is needed for those particular fans. For a print cooling fan you'd need something like M106 P0 S0.0 I0 F100 (or maybe even lower) H-1 in you config.g. This all assumes that the fans are connected to the main Duex board. The Duex2 and Duex5 do not support variable PWM frequencies. HTH

As Ian says, not all fans like PWM. Do they work on the PWM fan outputs when those are set to full on? M106 P0 S1
-
These fans were sold as PWM capable. Will try adding the M106 command to the config once I'm back in the office. Will let you know how it goes.
Cheers all!
-
Adding the M106 command didn't do anything unfortunately.
-
F10 at the end?
-
Yep, as below.
M106 P0 S0.3 I0 H-1 F10 ; Set fan 0 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off
M106 P1 S1 I0 F500 H1 T45 ; Set fan 1 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned on
M106 P2 S1 I0 F500 H1 T45 ; Set fan 2 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned on -
I don't have particular fan to try, but I do have a 40x40x30.
M106 P1 H-1
M563 P0 D0 H1 F0:1 is what I have in my config and I was able to PWM control it. Might be worth a shot. -
Yep, as below.
M106 P0 S0.3 I0 H-1 F10 ; Set fan 0 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off
M106 P1 S1 I0 F500 H1 T45 ; Set fan 1 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned on
M106 P2 S1 I0 F500 H1 T45 ; Set fan 2 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned onYou have fan 0 set at 30% PWM and fans 1 and 2 in thermostatic mode. Not a good test. Try them in non thermostatic mode at 100% speed:
M106 P0 S1 H-1
M106 P1 S1 H-1
M106 P2 S1 H-1 -
Yep, as below.
M106 P0 S0.3 I0 H-1 F10 ; Set fan 0 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off
M106 P1 S1 I0 F500 H1 T45 ; Set fan 1 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned on
M106 P2 S1 I0 F500 H1 T45 ; Set fan 2 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned onAs Tony asked, does it work if you set full on by using S1?
If that works, then you could try S0.3 but use the B parameter to give it a blip https://duet3d.com/wiki/G-code#M106:_Fan_On
Edit. I was typing at the same time as David
-
It doesn't work with S1 either. Neither did the F0:1 line.

Can you confirm that you are getting 12 volts and a ground out of the connection that you are using?
-
I would have done but upon attempting to check with the multimeter I slipped and shorted something out. Board is dead.
-
I'm sorry to hear of your misfortune. Is the board completely dead, or just the fan outputs?
