7i77 -> Huanyang

You might want to consider rs485 control for the huanyang.
It isn't too hard to get working, you just need to make sure your vfd has the chip in place, some don't.
I use a rs232-rs285 adapter on my computer, so use a USB - rs485 with success.

The only downside (may be a big one for you depending on wiring)
It ignores the multifunction inputs, so if you have one of those as Estrop input to the vfd, it will ignore it.

Here is a link with all the development of it.

I will attach the files so you don't have to register on another forum to download them.

I went the relay route, it was cheaper. Dealing with Pncconf and Axis however has not been kind.
I can get the spindle to operate in pncconf. Under Axis I can change rotation. But under Axis I can't get the spindle moving I'm sure I missed something somewhere.

How do you know that you can change rotation if you can't get the spindle moving?

Are you saying that the spindle + speed and - buttons don't work, or that they don't exist?

Buttons are there just speed does not change. I can even enter Speed with an S code in the MDI screen and no change.
The reason I know it can change direction is because the VFD has the relay I just installed which I can hear click. Plus on the front panel it has two LED's to indicate it's current direction.

And it works in PnCConf? Then at least the VFD is setup correctly (must be setup for external control: PD001->1, PD002->1, PD023->1, PD070->0, PD072/073 to what you need).

Can you post your HAL file?

I really need to get an Ethernet cable run to my shop, and for some reason Debian doesn't like using my phone as a USB Flash drive... anyways


here is the Hal and ini file
