Beauty in The Beast: Webb 5BVK Barn Find/Conversion

Look on the right side of the page, J15, and J17. Looks like the "V'' is the delta, so looks like it is set to V

Also look at the bottom right of the page, J1

Shot a note to the company last night - but no response yet.
I'll keep an eye out.
Also used my electronic microscope to look at the board.
Suspect they printed under where the electronics go.
IDK.
Not evident.
I do see a delta shaped arrow.
Does this have meaning to you?

Pretty sure the delta is the V, look at J17
 
Thanks.
Yep - I see J17 is also set to the delta.
Weird the manual doesn't mention anything about either I can find.
In any event - I can get started on the wiring.

Any suggestion on type and gauge of wiring one uses to run from VFD to knobs and switches?
 
The wiring diagram page gives you some hints if you compare the documentation to the board. It is not very clear and requires a little deductive reasoning to figure it out. Could have been done better.

I normally use 20 or 22 AWG shielded cable.
 
Oooo.
Sluethy.
Yes - the delta seems to correspond with the V on J17 & J15 in the manual.
They apparently left out those markings for J16... there is no V or I.
I am going with delta = V.

BTW - is this just 24 volt going to my switches?
I expected it to be full voltage somehow.
Stay tuned - when work permits - I will wire up and we might have a functioning mill - of sorts.
 
Yes, 24V, supplied by the VFD. Do not use the 24V VFD supply for anything else.

Ok - good head's up.
I COULD however add a three way switch - as a servo selector - to allow all other servo'd axis to be moved with power?
That would complete my control panel for manual.

Yes, you could wire up something like that. Maybe I am misunderstanding, but that has nothing to do with the VFD, no connection at all.
 
Snort laugh.
Your right - was so concentrated on tackling that though along with the other wiring - forgot it's two totally different systems.
But now that you mention - what a shame I can't use the VFD to power - so I don't have to have an additional power supply.
Would it overload my VFD to steel 24V from it?
My plug in power supply gives me 30 - which moves the access at a reasonable top speed - and seems to control slow movement pretty nicely too.
