Huanyang Plugin

On your VFD, what are your settings for the following:

PD001
PD002
PD004
PD023
PD162
PD164
PD165

Like Jerry suggested, make sure all settings for the VFD is set correctly and for serial communication. I supplied the settings for serial communication in instructions.

1. I see your baud rate is set to 19200, try 9600 in PD164 on VFD and in plugin settings. You can tweak higher once up and running.

2. I see you have pulley box checked in UCCNC spindle set up, uncheck this box until up and running.

3. When using 2017 screenset you must change the RPM label # in screen edit from 870 to 2451.

My only experience with these type motors is from what I read online. I would keep your max 70HZ in plugin settings since this is what you had success with.

pd 01 =2
pd02 =2
pd04 =50hz
pd23 = factory default
pd163 =1
pd164 =2 but also tried 1 with the plugin set to the same baud rate
pd165 =3

Dan will try suggestions during the week

If the plugin sees the rs port then i take it coms is ok If I don't have any luck with the suggestions will scope the rs line to see if there is coms on the line my pico scope will decode the coms

Thanks both of you for taking the time to look

Is converter wired correctly?
And what RS-485 converter are you using?
More than one person that couldn't get the plugin to work found that the converter was the issue.

[andrewbishop66]

Did try both ways round with the rs connections in case it was marked wrong


this is the one I got

will order another one from another supplier just in case

Thanks Andrew

Does it use a driver?
The one I have uses a ch340t chip, and requires a driver.

[andrewbishop66]

It came without a driver so maybe thats the problem but as the plugin found it thought it would be ok my laptop loads a ch340 driver for it

Thanks andrew

The simplest solution in trouble shooting any Modbus set up and could save a lot of time chasing your tail with guessing is download a free or trial serial monitor. I/you can determine immediately what the problem is. If you need a link LMK.

Start Serial Monitor and choose new.(new window will appear)
Choose com port you chose in plugin.
Choose dump view.
Press Start Monitoring.

Start UCCNC with start up and enabled checked for HY12 plugin.

You should see lines of bytes immediately, if you don't than you have a connection problem and should start there.
