Re: VFD Interference with Clearpath Servos
Here are the pictures with my meter going from H1 24IN to Ground and then H4 24IN to Ground where they both show 8.4 volts. This power is coming from my clearpaths somehow as when I remove power to those this voltage goes away. I am just wondering if I ruined a diode or two on the acorn board in my ...

Re: VFD Interference with Clearpath Servos
Thank you everyone. I realize that you cannot see what I can see. I will work on explaining more clearly. As for the resistors I put them in line from 24IN H4 to my Z axis step and direction terminals.. I have to take a step back for a while as now nothing is happening and I have voltage at the 24IN...

Re: VFD Interference with Clearpath Servos
Well I may have done something catastrophic. I pulled a wire from the 24+ power coming in ran it over to the 24 in on H1- seemed logical it does say 24 in- then ran a resistor into my z axis- a couple of zaps and a tiny bit of smoke I see now that you clearly did not have the 24+ wired in there. Any...

Re: VFD Interference with Clearpath Servos
Thank you, I see the schematic you posted I will mimic that- stay tuned.

VFD Interference with Clearpath Servos
Good day folks, I have an interesting problem. I had a VERY loud porter cable router and wanted something a bit easier on the ears so I purchased a water-cooled spindle and VFD from Automation Technologies. Everything arrived very quickly and wired up as expected. It accomplished the goal of a quiet...

Re: Cutting with multiple passes not aligned
The machines origin is unknown. Its large- all aluminum and very heavy. Approx 7x12 bed. I have checked all of the axis;'s for backlash and there is no noticeable backlash and in this case certainly no where near enough to cause the roughly 1/8" gap between the 2 runs (also the shapes are the s...

Re: Teknic Clearpath motor and use of the +-Step and +-Direction resistor
Thanks RichMaple- I want to be clear on what you did - where my step and direction wires are attached at the screw terminal of the Acorn I am thinking i can run one end of the resistor into the screw terminal and solder the other end of the resistor to the wire that was originally in the screw termi...
