Greetings,
I finished connecting my Huanyang VFD 2,2kw 110v Water Cooled Spindle to my D3MB6HCv1 mainboard. Wanted to post this info for others that wanted to do the same.
Searched this forum and started with this post by Catalin_RO 26 Jun 2018, 13:54 - https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/4762/vfd-spindle-drive-0-10v-output/6
I bought the module on Amazon (currently unavailable, but there are other similar modules available, make sure it is a 0-10V) KNACRO PWM to 0-10V Conversion Module Digital to Analog Module PLC Industrial Interface Conversion Module.
Wired the module using information from an Openbuilds post here - https://openbuilds.com/threads/workbee-cnc-w-duet2-and-chinese-spindle-control.14004/
The module needs external power and will operate at 5v and 24v. There is a white jumper on the side that can be changed for the voltage you have available. The black and red wires in the image below are from the 24v power supply that powers the mainboard.
The orange and yellow wires are connected to the mainboard on the - 2-pin JST VH or compatible connectors OUT_1 thru OUT_3 pins normally used for extruders, heaters, and fans. I used the "OUT_1" connection. With this 2 pin connection, OUT_1 pin connects to the yellow wire and the V_FUSED connects to the orange wire.
I found this image on the Openbuilds site. I do not know if it is accurate. I could not find a schematic of the module and this image was helpful.
The grey and pink wires from the module connect to the VFD control circuit terminals at the ACM (grey) and the VI (pink) terminals. The red wire is a jumper to keep the VFD in an 'always on' state using DCM and FOR terminals, (WARNING: I do not know if this will cause some unforeseeable problem with the VFD, use at your own risk) otherwise you will need to use another module (two total) and use another pin on the mainboard to turn the spindle on when the M3 is issued. See M453 for more info: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M453_in_RepRapFirmware_3_0_and_3_1_x
Next, you will need to program the VFD on the main panel. The following information was taken from: https://openbuilds.com/threads/workbee-cnc-w-duet2-and-chinese-spindle-control.14004/
-
PD001 from 0 to 1 to change spindle on/off from "operator" control to "external" control.
-
PD002 was already set to 1, which is "external" control, but until you switch the jumper, the "external" is the potentiometer on the control panel. Once you move the jumper to the left, it will use the pins.
-
PD070 from 1 to 0 to change the input voltage it's looking for from 0-5v to 0-10v. Before I changed this, the spindle speed was double what I was sending. i.e. I'd send M3 S12000 and the spindle would go to 24000RPM.
The module is velcro'd to the inside of the hatch and out of the way when it's buttoned up.
The config.g needs to be reconfigured to use the "OUT_1" pin on the mainboard.

Lines 47-49 and line 57 need to be added. I'm not sure if lines 48 and 49 are needed concerning the G10 parameters for the M563 that defines the spindle as tool 0.
M563 P0 S"Spindle" defines the spindel as tool 0.
M453 S0 C"out1" R24000 Q100 T0 sets up the tool and needs to come after the M563 that defines the spindel. T0 is optional and aids the DWC in monitoring the tool.
To test the setup, enter M3 S500 on the DWC console to turn the spindle @ 500 RPM and all should be well. Enter M5 to turn it off.
If anyone needs help, post a reply and I'll try to help out. Otherwise, somone with more experience from Duet3D will come to your aid.
