Re: Configuring a 4 axis Allin1 with partially missing A axis Motor/encoder/Axis hardware

I'm currently working thru the wiring of my 4th axis (a Haas Brushed DC 5c indexer) intended for intermittent use. I have mounted the control box side 17 pin cable connector Haas uses on my control cabinet and when not being used, the indexer will be completely disconnected from the Centroid system ...

Re: Interfacing Haas 5C indexer to ALLIN1DC

CNCSNW (or anyone): According to page 7 of the DC1_MAN.doc, there are 4 pins for the logic power header (H4) labeled NC, +5V Return, +5V Return, and +5V. The supplied cable color codes pairs to these pins as white, Green, Black and Red respectively. I am connecting to a power supply labeled "Oa...

Interfacing Haas 5C indexer to ALLIN1DC

I have recently bought a Haas brushed DC servo powered indexer with the 17 pin plug. My intention is to purchase a DC1 servo amp and have full 4th axis programmability. I checked the TSBs to see if there was anything documented on doing this already, since these Haas indexers are fairly common. The ...

Re: Automation Direct GS20 to Centroid interface parameters

cncsnw-- Thank you for the quick response! On instinct (and based on how I had the original Hitachi drive "alarm relay" configured, I did wire to the NO contact, but I left the configuration as "malfunction". I DID change parameter 02.18 from "0' to "1" (which inve...

Automation Direct GS20 to Centroid interface parameters

I've tried searching the forum for a parameter "cheat sheet" for the GS20, but have come up empty. My apologies for posting if someone has already created a thread addressing this, and a plea to direct me to it. If not: I have decided to swap my Hitachi SJ200 VFD out for an Automation Dire...

Re: perferred 3 hp VFD to integrate with Allin1DC system

Thank you for the followup, Keith! I haven't had a chance to see if I could find any markings on the resistor (I got it for free from a friend at work). However, I decided to bite the bullet and buy a Durapulse GS20 series VFD and the recommended 70 ohm 300 watt braking resistor. I even splurged for...

perferred 3 hp VFD to integrate with Allin1DC system

I have replaced the ProtoTrak MX3 control on my Trak DPM bed mill with a Centroid/AllIn1DC kit. I had previously used a Hitachi SJ200 VFD while the machine was equipped with the ProtoTrak MX3, and I re-used this VFD in the conversion. Up until a couple years ago, I had configured the drive for FRS (...

Re: Z axis on Knee mill

Hi Keith, Let me make sure that it is clear to everyone that my PERSONAL mill (the Prototrak) was an Allin1 DC retrofit I did myself, and the one we are having trouble with is at my place of employment; a Clausing branded knee mill that originally came with a Fagor 8055 "conversational" co...

Re: Z axis on Knee mill

I might have a unique perspective on your question. I am a journeyman machinist with just shy of 3 decades of experience in the trade. I have direct experience with BOTH configurations, each being controlled with a Centroid CNC control. In addition, and I feel an important detail, is that I also ran...
