Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

Hello

I have a CNC10 Mill v2.64 linux centroid controller on my old Tree 325.

Question: is there a way to increase the file size? ... currently the system won't accept anything over 1mb.
I'm generating tool paths from Fusion 360 and some of my finishing passes are exceeding 1mb

Thanks!

Jon

Hey

thanks for your help ... really useful. I'll post an update to this thread if/when I figure out the solution and make a connecting cable.

Thanks!

hey

Thank you for your patients ... I'm learning a lot so I appreciate it.

So yes - there is an encoder on the Yaskawa Motor - the connector you describe, links from the VFD up into the case towards the Spindle Motor. I see no connection from this terminal to the PC.

Should I see a connection ...

If there isn't a spindle encoder installed into the system, the speed that is displayed is just the speed that is commanded. However, if the system has a spindle encoder installed, that speed that is displayed could be set to the actual spindle speed that is seen by the spindle encoder by setting ...

Hmmm - I know I'm new to CNC but I've been around PCs for quite a few years...

The spindle is controlled by a Unicode SP 2203 VFD - I see no direct connection between the PC and the VFD

There is a DB8 like connector on the Unidrive but it goes out to the Spindle. There are various terminals on the ...

@centroid_tech

Thanks for the quick response, and I apologize for my N00B questions.

I'd already tired P35 on 3 & 4

How do I visually check for the physical connection - see attached - I have 3 serial connectors on axis 1-3 nothing in 4-5. Fiber has 1-5 attached. The silver serial port goes out ...

By "spindle speed signal" do you mean a pass-through of the spindle encoder?

If so, you connect it to an encoder input (4th, 5th or 6th) to the CPU10 board in the PC (not to the DC3IO). Then set Parameters 34, 35 and 78 to match the encoder, the connection, and your preferences.

The last report ...

hello

Finally got my Tree J325 Centroid DC310 DIY up and running. 2 questions / recommendations

Currently I don't have any spindle speed signal to the M39.
Where on the DC310B should that input go to? ... I can see where the output is from the Unidrive SP VFD ... just don't know where this signal ...

Hey Guys

Thanks for previous help - New problem

I managed to run an autotune and the Spindle spun up for the first time! ... however, after the autotune the Unidrive displayed a trip error of 'et'

The Unidrive manual has the following troubleshooting instructions, not sure what I need to look ...
