CNC Machine Electrical Wiring Complete!

- The CNC machine electrical wiring is complete! This week I finished all the panel wiring for the Centroid Acorn - Dyna Myte 2800 CNC retrofit. This included adding circuit breakers to the 24 Volt power circuits, wiring the interface cable between the DYN4 AC servo drive and the Acorn controller & adding a contactor and AC line filter to the servo drive.
I also cleaned up and repainted the electrical enclosure and got everything mounted back on the Dyna Myte 2800. I then go over the decisions I made regarding the electrical panel layout and discuss all the connections to the Centroid Ether1616, Centroid Acorn, the Gecko G251X stepper drives and the DMMM Dyn4 Servo Drive.
Finally, I go over what is left to do to complete this project. Very productive week and I'm quite pleased and surprised by how well this turned out.

Surprised how well this is turning out! Got the electrical panel finished and installed in the electrical cabinet. I can see the end of this project on the horizon!

My dad has spent 20 years building electrical control cabinets for industrial grade CNC machines for Thermwood. Ironically I've learned more about it from your videos than I have from him. 🙄 It's so fascinating to watch you work. This cabinet is like a work of art.
well, thanks!
electrical panel assembly is very therapeutic for me!
I can understand how that could be. Thanks for watching!
Pete, great looking work all around. I really like your idea of re-using the cable jacket to keep the wiring neater. I'll have to try that on my next control cabinet.
Thanks very much Gary. Glad you enjoyed the tip. I don’t really remember when I started doing that but it just seems like forever.
Watching from india 🚩❤️❤️
Hey Pete, love your work.
Iv'e been toying with the CNC idea for a long time. My "wheel house" is the machining and the challenge for me is the electrical.
Your videos have been quite inspirational and have filled in a lot of gaps, keep up the good work.
Cheers :)
Thanks so much Andrew, glad you are finding value in what I'm doing here!
Nice and clean wiring work. CNC is a bit complicated for me, but interesting anyway.
Hey Rustinox, thanks for the kind words, and for watching! We all have our specialties I suppose - The electrical wiring is right in my wheelhouse, on the other hand, I probably couldn't grind a shaper tool to save my life! best regards.
Good job on the wiring! I am waiting for my acorn to arrive this week so I can get started on mine as well!
Thanks! I've been enjoying this but looking forward to seeing the machine finally finished. What will you be installing the Acorn on to?
@@PeteRondeau its going on a soon-to-be converted 12 x 36 enco lathe. Its been sitting for years and I just haven't got around to the conversion. I also have a large bench top mill with ATC that's been sitting because I started to change to pathpilot from mach3 and got in over my head with the scripting. 😂😂. Its likely to get changed over to acorn as well, and a 4th axis instead of ATC
I would really like to have a machine with an ATC. The Dyna Myte 2900 is essentially a DM2800 with a tool changer. I may take some inspiration from that in the future and attempt to build my own. Good luck on your projects!
@@PeteRondeau I bought this machine (mill) already done (diy'd) and its been a semi-headache. Alignment issues and sloppy dovetails. This time around its likely to get some linear ways too.
Well done👍. Very nice:)
Thanks!
Get some flux, and drain those shielded cables bruh. Kester 186 is great stuff.
Nice Neat layout!! Love it!
Thanks so much! It has had a few changes since this video but still pretty accurate. thanks for watching!
Just make sure Acorn Logic +24VDC power supply is SEPARATE from any other use! Don't share it with other relays, contactors etc....when din rail mounting power supplies, I use a small 1-1.5A Din rail power supply soley for Acorn, I use a small Din rail +5VDC power supply for drive logic if needed. You could introduce unintended noise in the supply to Acorn.
Marty, Just to clarify, Acorn & Ether1616 will play nice on the same supply though, correct?
@@PeteRondeau yes, but you'll need a bit larger supply for the pair. Reason being is the number of relay coils between the two. Now if you aren't firing many relays you'll probably be fine with a smaller 24vdc power supply
Basically, just keep Acorn and Ether1616 on their own power supply. This one would be more than enough and under $20 on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B005T6OBFU/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_PeFOEbS1WTEKB
Yes, that exact model was what I had in mind. I have a stack of them here at the shop.
@@PeteRondeau Ah, no excuse not to use one then.....
I would love to see what settings to use when setting Acorn up. Based on the inputs and outputs provided by Dmm For the DYN4 as a spindle I’m having a problem understanding what is NO/NC and the nomenclature such as OC 5 “VFD/spin reverse” what operation would I drag to OC 5? I’ve been all through the Centroid forum and the most common reply is buy a VFD and motor.
Send me an email to the address at the bottom of the video description and I'll send you a screen shot.
What is electrical wiring gauge in the box ( for electrics and electronics component ) and sensors cable gauge with connectors
It is a mixture of gauges. 16 to about 22 I believe.
What kind of machine you build you make it look so complicated 😂😂
Hi Pete, nice videos. Did you get any electrical noise from the spindle servo? I just finished a similar setup but every time I rotate the spindle servo/DYN4, my z/x axis servos/DYN2 move due to noise (Small axis movements when they should be staying put)
Hey, I don’t have an answer for you because I haven’t gotten to the point where everything is running at the same time. I was running new wires out to the axis motors today and will be working on it again tomorrow. I’ve got my fingers crossed, you are not the first person I have heard mention that issue. Stay tuned
What size resistor is that? I tried to read the bands but it went by to quickly. Just wanted to double check I’m using the correct one on my cable.
I believe it was a 2k or 2.2k- something in that range. It's not super critical, just limits current to the Opto-coupler inside the DYN4 drive
I am keeping score! lol
LOL 😄😆
wow. i love your video. Watching you work is infectious. I love your contents. I sent you an email hopefully you can render some help.
