The biggest limitation in the free version IMO is the restriction on tool changing. You cannot make a program with multiple tools. The no rapids thing is unusual ad it does still produce some rapids. That would only be an issue for volume production. If you are doing volume production then a F360 ba...

Alternately, use Fusion 360 for free to create more complex tool paths than intercon can in a nice modern CAM environment. Intercon is ok for drilling a few holes and a simple shapes but clunky and limited. CNC12 is a bit behind the times. It cant show you stock removal and nice 3D tool paths showin...

Yup, all working now. This drive is great, where has it been all my life! A dog to configure and use compared to the Hitachi but the PM motor control is awesome. Can even meet the 0.3s to 6000 RPM acceleration times I wanted. Had to do a bit of tuning of ASR zero speed bandwidth and APR gain togethe...

You can call their support line as well.

Thanks. It was obvious now I look back! I think I should be sorted now. I just need some time to be able to slow down and not rush through this stuff!

OK. So I think I worked this out. The copy of the manual I had was a 2019 version. I cannot get the new manual from Delta website as their download center wont work on my PC! I got a friend to get it and the latest version is a 2021 manual. The new manual shows that the parameters have moved to a ne...

Contact David at Delta, he is very familiar with their VFD's IA.VFD AT deltaww.com I assume you didn't buy the programming cable? It is handy because you can view/program the VFD from a PC and download the parameters for safe keeping and SHARING. You could send it to David. Marty Thanks. How do I c...

They show in the following link the use of the same encoder card I have for position control. But position control is done over a communications bus using the PLC. Not that it helps much...

I didn't see a link to the Delta documentation so I couldn't check that, but the Centroid TSB clearly states it needs a Orient card model EMV-PG01L or PG02. I dont know if the EMC-PG01U is the same or not. It does say in the manual on page 564 that PG01L is only for induction motors. PG01U looks al...

As an experiment: if you change 00-11, 05-33 etc. to tell the drive that you have an induction motor instead of a permanent magnet motor, do the other parameters and features then align with TB316? Not that you would run it that way; this would just be to see whether the drive's orient ("singl...

Sorry, I thought my picture showed but its blurry. It has an EMC-PG01U card. The card has ABZ and UVW inputs. It also has encoder output and AB input for position control. The motor can rotate super slowly so FOC is working. The encoder counts are working and correct. I see you can do position contr...
