Re: Retrofit 2.0 TREE J325

Since the motors are not a drop in replacement for the Baldor motors I am working on a mounting plate. I also need to determine if the pulley will align with the one on the ballscrews. Attached is a concept.

Re: Retrofit 2.0 TREE J325

OK I missed the 24VAC note early on and got appropriate items for 24VDC. Is the AC stuff quieter or is there another reason for the preference? I believe what I have is now wired correctly and only has one software (?) Issue. I wrote a program to spin the motors and wanted to test the E-Stop. It sto...

The circuit for DYN4 below shows 24VAC I'm assuming that should be DC

Yes - I edited my original post to update that wiring the coils in parallel solved the problem

Re: Retrofit 2.0 TREE J325

I bought a 24VDC power supply to drive contactors etc. Meanwell EDR -120-24 it can supply 5 amps but when I hook up three contactors it won't pull them closed - two will work. Contactor is a Fuji SC-E03-24. Is it possible that the 24 coils are pulling more than 5amps, can't seem to find that data. E...

Re: Retrofit 2.0 TREE J325

DMM Parts arrived yesterday, one of the Styrofoam clamshell that protects the motor had a big hole punched in it from a pretty serious drop on the encoder end of the motor. I contacted DMM and will proceed with testing but I don't need any extra challenges... The first drive/motor has been wired up ...

Re: Retrofit 2.0 TREE J325

I am reviewing the VFR manual in preparation for figuring out how to use the relays, that are now on order. There are options for 5 modes, and it sounds like wire proof PLC mode would be the one I'd use (a reasonable guess but if not,- the others are CD type interface, Mentor type interface, wire pr...

Re: Retrofit 2.0 TREE J325

One area of control that I am working on is to find relays to use for E-Stop, spindle fwd/rev. I may not have enough I/O to run all the relays shown but I would appreciate some help with identification - manufacturer - vendor? Is 1 a time delay? relays.JPG Yes, relay 1 is a time delay (didn't you h...
