    Hey Franco, How do the dip switches correspond to the frequency input? I'm using a 200us delay between pulse high and pulse low connected to a HSB860H Servo Drive. I know the factory sets these with 2,3 &4 sw on and the rest off. I don't have any alarms on and the Motor locks the moment I turn on my MCU. I've checked the wiring and everything is correct but the motor won't turn. Is it really important to have the SW settings right to make the motor turn? It's not under any load and all voltages are correct. I have PUL+, DIR+ and EN+ connected to the MCU with the EN+ LOW, DIR+ HIGH/LOW and PUL+ to Pulse Pin sending 200us pulse. But not sure if the dip switch settings are correct and I can't find any documentation to set them because it's a Chinese off brand. Can you give me any insight to how these dip switches work? I thought they just set the motor type, (6) and Direction (5) and SW1, SW2, SW3 & SW4 are for the Steps per pulse.

    Ah what happened to the video you uploaded yesterday? Not sure if you saw my comment. I’m planning on ordering these motors for the sherline 18” ball screw mill on the 5th of December. I realize I’m going to need different couplers but was wondering if you had any objections to using these on the sherline mill. Seems like they are better then sherlines high torque steppers after looking at the numbers.

    • @FrancoCNC
      @FrancoCNC  Před 4 lety

      Hi. Other than the couplers (Sherline seems to like 1/4" and these motors are 8mm) I think this will work great. I believe there motors are a perfect fit for a machine such as the Sherline.

    I have 4 of these... but another Chinese company SS570, I use my CNC for 3D Printing, they are getting too hot and start to skip steps or something, so that at some moment the Y is shifted - some steps and sometimes + some steps... I don't know exactly what's happening, but I can't print for too long, or big objects...
    Is there an option that can make them colder?

  • @paulcarter7238
    @paulcarter7238 Před 4 lety +2

    thanks very much ! do you need to do anything extra to mach3 to run closed loop? could you run non closed loop motors from this driver ?

    • @FrancoCNC
      @FrancoCNC  Před 4 lety +2

      Hi. Mach3 (or any step & direction based CNC system) doesn't really care or know the difference between a closed loop or open loop stepper system. The software just outputs the step pulses and the direction signal and assumes everything is good. The closed loop driver uses the encoder in the motor to "guarantee" the instructions are executed correctly. Regarding your second question, you must use the motor that is designed to work with that driver. If there is no encoder feedback to the driver, it will alarm out.

    Hi franco can you post the pinout for the db-9 (rs-232) to rj-26 cable please.
    I have found no less than 5 different pinout diagrams and none have worked for the HBS57H.
    I am hoping this cable will.
    The 3 pins on the db9 should be 2,3 and 5 , its the rj-26 connector pins that are a nightmare.

    Hey I'm using an acorn with these drivers. I wired the alarm to input 6 on acorn and ran the other end to a common on acorn. When it alarms 24 volts goes though the driver (normally open). Everything works as it should when i unplug the encoder and move the axis the driver alarms, and acorn goes into alarm. However, when i plug the encoder back in and manually move the axis the driver doesn't alarm but my acorn goes into alarm saying drive fault. Any ideas why this would happen? Thanks!

    • @FrancoCNC
      @FrancoCNC  Před 4 lety

      Hi. Usually, these alarm circuits are wired up to a normally closed input on the acorn. The idea is that you can "daisy chain" all of your drive alarm outputs in series. As long as things are good, the chain is closed and the normally closed input on the acorn is happy. If any of the drives in the chain alarm out (open) the chain will be broken and the alarm on the acorn will be triggered. I hope this helps.

      @@FrancoCNC Excellent! I'd like to ask you for one more thing, I hope you know to answer.
      Let's say I set the micros stepping to 4000 p/r, I would assume that the driver can't compensate position errors on the fly, since the very moment it detects that the drive is "behind" is when it has skipped a micro step?
      The question is, do these controllers have a tolerance margin on the encoder detection that gives it room to compensate before an error/alarm trickers?

    • @FrancoCNC
      @FrancoCNC  Před 3 lety

      @@Mr_Wh1 They do. There are parameters that govern how the drive compensates for error and how much tolerance they have before they generate an alarm. Even the big expensive commercial CNC machines work this way.

    I have a hbs86h driver but I want to use a spare 8nm closed loop motor I have from rattmmotor is. There any way I can set the driver up to work with the motor, the specs are identical to the hss86 driver which is what I’m using for my machine, this is for a rotary axis I’m making tested them as is and they don’t like each other at moment so any info would help otherwise I’ll just have to buy another matching driver or motor cheers.

      Also they said it was because they had to beef up the machine for their 1.35nm 2a high torque motors. And that all looked good minus the 4 amp holding torque on the longs motors. I can’t afford their set up although the neat and tidy little package is appealing. That just puts me back another 400 and I had to beg the wife to let me spend another 500 already lol.
