NOTE the current connections on the VFD. The VFD is likely already programmed (half the battle). Let us know what connections are made and a copy of the manual. Take a picture of its control terminal block.pburgh wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2017 9:28 pm Yes, i don't have an issue with the conversion. I just want to move cautiously and confirm that i'm going down the right path. You all have more experience with these newer technologies than i do, so i value your opinions. Actually, i was going to do the conversion from a Non-CNC model. But it would have been a lot more work. And i'm not in the best position to do that. So i opted for the turnkey instead.
The 24v power is there, but the 5v is coming from the nMotion controller as far as i can tell. Some of the labels on the equipment is in Chinese, so i may have to do some testing. I think i'll have to add a Meanwell 5v PS. I'd like to switch to DMM servos an drives where i noticed on the schematic that they use 24v. But that's for a later time. i'll ride with the LeadShine for now, unless they turn out to be not so good. I'm sure i'll have some questions on the VFD as i work through this. Good times....
Thanks again,
Strongly suggest just getting the meanwell dual voltage output power supply:

Moving cautiously and asking questions first is a good strategy!
