Knockoff Huanyang 2.2KW VFD

[Ttrees]

Hello folks
Just thought I'd post a thread on this new knockoff Huanyang VFD I've just bought.
You can tell its a knockoff looking at the top of the drive, as there is clips joining the plastic casing.
I have not checked it out yet, so I hope its gonna work.
If you look at one of the pictures, you can see there is damage to the corner :shock:
I hope this will be fixable with some super glue...
Anyway,
The first things I noticed was the weight difference in this newer model...
Its slightly heavier than the last one,
It has a completely different layout,
There are fewer terminals so it looks like you can't modify it for a braking resistor ???
There is fuses that come with it,
The parameters on this is very different.
I should have videoed the opening of this package, but my excitement got the better of me #-o

I'll be updating this tomorrow hopefully, with some more info.
Wish me luck
Tom

Back again, with some more info.
Apparently these drives are actually Isacon askpower brand.
There's only 35 parameters instead of 180.
I'm not sure if I can use 3 wire control either.
The manual seems more confusing, I thought it might be a doddle...we'll see about that.
I will edit this message if I'm wrong, and I manage to get this sorted.

Not hooked it up as I have not got parameters figured out yet

Hello again
I have jogged down the necessary parameters from another thread
The parameters I have taken down are as follows...I may have these values incorrect ?
This will be for either my 12" tablesaw or my 24" bandsaw, I can put the old Huanyang on the more suited machine, if need be.
I'm in Europe so were on 50HZ, the motors on the machines are 2 pole, dual voltage motors
I have not wired this up yet, as I have some questions...


They say, the Askpower's are more suited for spindles apparently, 1 reason would be because there is no terminal for a braking resistor, although I never needed one on the Huanyang, although I let the machines coast a wee bit.

My VFD and manual has no mention of Askpower A131 by the way!
I will check the production date in the parameters to find out which one I have, hopefully it's the same.

I am unsure if I have everything in sequence, or if it needs to be.
and I have some questions at the end.
Here we go...........

First thing first, I think it was said its to do parameter restore and reset afterwards.

PN 32 - Set to 3 restore default parameter, then set back to 1 to reset parameter.
PN 01 - 2 (pole motor) possible RPM required, referral to PN 12
PN 02 - 50 Hz
PN 03 - ext terminal 1 is for the pot
PN 04 - run command for switches 1 for VFD keypad, set to 2 for switches
PN 05 - 1 clockwise rotation only
PN 08 - accel time
PN 09 - decel time
PN 10 - 50 Hz max frequency
PN 11 - set to 5 (especially if using a pot) min frequency
PN 12 - 50 Hz motor rating frequency
PN 13 - 1 (careful of this one as it can damage motor! torque compensation (default at 0 in manual) unsure about this one ?
PN 14 - 40 for adjustment for torque at lower RPM (default 500Hz seems wrong, but whatta I know?)
PN 17 - 30 adjust braking voltage for DC braking (same as factory default)

The things I'm unsure about is...
No parameters for input voltage, or motor voltage. ?
No amp rating for motor ?
Not sure yet if RPM will be entered, or if motor pole number will take of that. ?
and the aforementioned PD 13, PD 14, and PD 17 looks to be specific to the application...
I have no great need to stop things in an instant, so if I enter these values am I OK?

Thanks for reading
Tom

I had to look up what a Huanyang VFD was to know what you where talking about, far to advanced for me. #-o

Not so, if your pockets concerned concerned Mike.
Here is a recent thread that will break it down into more digestible bits :wink:

Back at you, I have three phase in my workshop, in fact my house has a three phase supply, each phase balanced to prevent tripping out the main breaker, this is set by the supplier to trip if you try to draw more than 20amps/phase.
