Most people that have had trouble with Dan's plugin, but no problems with Mach3, have found the USB adapter to be the issue.

hi gere
if I understand you suggest to change a RS485 dongle adapter... Correct?
in your experience, there is a dongle better of the other?

thanks in adv

Which one are you using?

This one works for me:

Hi Dan, Ger

HY12 work when it have a good day..

screenset 2017
Hy12 configured as in instruction
Spindle talker go well (open port and go with the slider don't go with the Fixed RPM button 6000, 8000, etc)
when i open UCNC he talk with VFD that aswer (see below)

BUT
when i click M3 Nothing

sometimes it go but with fix RPM (don't change with s command)

any suggestion?


thanks in advance

What's only working on good days is your RS485 converter.


"01 01 03 8E 00 64 5D 8E" is the byte array HY12 sends to VFD to test communication, if no response plugin won't start. With HY10 you will get a window reading "VFD not Responding".

Why it seems it's working in Mach3 with HY plugins availible is that there plugin is just sending 1 single line byte array. If you quickly and repeatedly change rpm speed in Mach3 you will see your RS485 converter will fail there also.

HY12 is continually polling its status like all Modbus programs, and some of these cheap converter chipsets can't keep up for whatever technical reasons of have no clue of.

hi all
I've this dungle:
WINGONEER USB-485 USB a RS485 dell'adattatore del convertitore di Windows 08/07 XP Linux Vista
https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B01N3L ... UTF8&psc=1

with driver CH341SER

the same used in slepko blog with raptor 5
in mach 3 for both us is all good. He don't use UCNC and can't help me
For me UCCNC spindle button don't go.
Same time go but with no repeatably condition.
I will try to change Dongle and hope

thanks

Hi flavio,
I'm in the process of rewriting this plugin so some features like amps isn't implemented yet but see if this helps.

Hi Dan, Ger
first of all thanks for your help
the problem now it's solved changing the dongle.

if could be useful I try this:

- new dongle with driver ch341ser of 2007 year -> Hy12 NOT go, hy14 NOT go, Mach3 GO
- new dongle with driver ch341ser of 2014 year (Get link) -> Hy12 GO, Hy14 NOT go, Mach 3 GO

in the attachment the serial monitor trace in the case: mach3, UCCNC Hy14 UCCNC Hy12

I don't know the communication protocol of vfd but seems that the polling sequence are different in the three case

thanks for help I hope that the test could help..
if useful I can try to do other tests

Hi flavio,

Knowing the spindle you were using and posting your .pro file from start would of helped determine your issues as it seems you may have more than 1. I see from the Mach3 and HY14 communication logs you are trying to set your spindle at 100 rpm on start which would need a 16.6 frequency sent.

Mach3 plugin is sending hex A6 = decimal 166
HY12 is sending hex 10 = decimal 16

If your min rpm is set at 100 rpm 16HZ would be lower and possibly why not setting on UCCNC. In HY plugin results are multiplied by 10, multiplying them by 100 will fix this. With the China 400hz spindles this wouldn't make a difference.

The plugin's communication protocol are all the same as Huanyang VFD has it's own.

Mach3 plugin communication log is polling function 04 (Read Control Status) for RPM and the reply's are 0.
HY12 is polling function 01 (Read the data of a function code) this is reading your setting in PD142 (Rated Motor Current) and replying 10.

There really is no difference between these plugin's other than the speed they poll in. UCCNC is very fast and I still didn't decide or research
what's best to do with new HY plugin to accommodate these slower cheap RS485 converters, use a timer thread or a editable to user Thread.Sleep.

On some of these RS485 converter sites actually advertise the chipset they use and are capable of fast communication. The 1 Gerry has linked is 1 of them.
