Adjustable Speed: Allows spindle speed adjustment for different yarn counts and materials.

Constant Tension Control: Maintains consistent yarn tension throughout the winding process.

Reduced Yarn Breakage: Lower mechanical shock means fewer stops and higher productivity.

Benefits of VFD for CNC Machine:

Smooth Acceleration & Deceleration: Reduces shock to the spindle and tooling.

High Precision: Enables accurate speed regulation for fine surface finish.

Programmable Speed Profiles: Can set different speeds for drilling, milling, and tapping.

How to connect a pressure sensor?

Connect it to the inverter’s AI1, 10V, and GND.

How to use vector control(Motor parameter self-learning)?

  • Set parameter P00.04 according to the actual situation of the motor, 1 means asynchronous open-loop vector, 2 is the asynchronous closed-loop vector
  • Set P11.02-P11.06 motor parameter according to the motor nameplate, rated power, rated voltage, rated current, rated frequency, rated RPM. (Pay attention: Closed-loop vector control also needs to set P10.01 and P10.02 encoder parameters!)
  • Set P11.10, 1: Stationary auto tuning(Motor and load unable to disengage); 2: Dynamic or rotational auto tuning(The motor can be separated from the load, or the load is less than 1/3 of the rated load)
  • Press[RUN], the keyboard will display[tune], it means that the motor in the process of self-learning. After [tune] disappear, and there is no any fault display, it means that self-learning has been completed successfully!

(Remark: The motor will rotate during the rotation self-learning process, please pay attention to safety)

What’s the reason for the inverter to stop for unknown reasons during operation, and how to solve it?

  • Set P00.06 to 0, use the keyboard “RUN” to start, and confirm whether it will stop. If it does not stop, it means that it is an external signal problem, otherwise it is a problem with the inverter parameters or other problems;
  • Check whether the signal connection wire of the inverter is in good contact;
  • Check whether the connector between +24V/PLC is in good contact;
  • Check the r06.00 terminal signal to confirm whether the running command is interrupted;
  • Confirm whether the power supply voltage of the inverter is too low.

Frequency converters stabilize production and improve quality through fault diagnosis. They indicate process problems and may need repair or replacement.

They connect with controls, process signals and PLCs. External interaction issues are often misread as converter faults. Consulting operators helps locate problems quickly.

 

Basic Troubleshooting Steps

  1. If the display or indicator does not light up: Check the input AC power first, then verify and restore the control power.
  2. If it fails to start or runs abnormally: Check fault codes and refer to the manual. Monitor parameters including input voltage, DC bus, output current, I/O and control status to identify start inhibition or speed signal abnormalities.

Common Faults and Solutions

  1. DC Bus Overvoltage Fault

Caused by voltage spikes or overhauling loads from machine inertia, triggering automatic protection shutdown. Stabilize power supply and adjust deceleration time. Add dynamic braking or regenerative power circuits for rapid deceleration processes.

  1. Overcurrent Fault

Usually due to loose power connections or damaged wires. Use the autotuning function for better motor control. Inspect mechanical wear and excessive friction. Stabilize input voltage and slow down the acceleration rate.

  1. High Starting-Load Current

Resulting from mechanical binding, material clogging/moisture, or excessive speed. Clear loads and debris before startup. Use converters with extended acceleration for smooth starting.

  1. Erratic Operation (No Fault Code)

Caused by external factors: Check for burnt or cracked components, and troubleshoot power quality issues such as grid fluctuations and surges, mostly due to harsh process conditions.

  1. Contamination Failure

Conductive contaminants like dust and moisture cause failures. Use proper NEMA enclosures. Clean fans and heatsinks monthly to avoid blocked cooling.

  1. Temperature Failure

Over-temperature leads to premature failure, while low temperature causes condensation and component damage. Control enclosure temperature, add cooling for high temperatures, and prevent moisture for low temperatures.

  1. Other Faults

Caused by improper application, changes in process, power supply or environment. Contact the manufacturer for technical support if faults remain unresolved.

Key Additional Points

  • When communicating with operators, ask about machine status, grid fluctuations, on-site construction, and power-factor capacitor switching.
  • For rapid deceleration, the motor acts as a generator. Dynamic braking dissipates excess energy through resistors, while regenerative power supplies feed energy back to the power grid.
