H004 is for the number of poles not hZ. A003 & A004 are set according the rated hZ for the motor. My mistake
I noticed in your draft that A062 is set too 83.3. How did you come up with that number?

I have the same setup and below are the parameter settings on the VFD.

A001=01 (Frequency Source)
A002=01 (Run Command Source)
A003=400hz (Base Frequency)
A004=400hz (use the rating on the nameplate)
A061= 400.0hz (use the rating on the nameplate)
A082=220VAC (use rating on name plate)
B012=10 (Amp ...

Wire the brake to one of the outputs and use a reverse bias diode to prevent any current from going back to the board. You also have to go into the wizard and setup the output for the axis that you are using the brake on, in your case Axis3BrakeRelease.

Few more pics of the Dust Shoe.

Looks great, does your post processor calculate the height of the dust shoe to material?


Thanks, Yes it does. I'm using Swiss's probe app with the ATC add-on that has a section to add a macro for what ever you want to happen before and after a tool change, which cncsnw wrote (thank you ...

Over a year ago, I decided to convert my cnc router to an ATC. Along the way I saw a video that showed a ATC with a auto dust shoe, so why not give it go. This is a new hobby for me and it's been quite a learning experience, building a control cabinet along with separate cabinet for the VFD and a ...

Here's a couple pf pic's of a box I just made, not sure if this something your looking for. I used Vectric software to generate the code, worked fine.

Hey Joey,

Did a fresh install, manually entered the settings in the wizard and nothing changed :|

swapped out the MPG6 with the MPG4, both with fresh batteries, same.
Tried different usb ports, no difference. Also not getting any error messages.
Must be one of those pesky Gremlin's :twisted ...

Hi Joey,

I deleted the homing file that was being used from the cncm directory and went back into the wizard to generate the homing program, same results.
The machine will home, but only one motor (Master) on the Y axis will move using the MPG right after homing. If I cycle the paired axis button ...

Did some more testing and found, that after homing, using the VCP jog buttons and MDI to jog the Y axis works fine. Seems to only happen when using the MPG right after homing. If I jog the axis after homing with the VCP Y axis jog buttons, MDI or cycle the axis paired button. Then the MPG works ...
