Wiring

Apollo III: Please see installation process in the Appendix.

Control Cable:Cable

The VFD Control cable is the Ethernet cable (Green) that runs from the Delta VFD to the Control as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

Figure 2 Ethernet Connection to Control

 Spindle Motor:

Connect your spindle motor to the terminals labeled U/T1,V/T2, and W/T3 as shown in Figure 4. If your spindle moves the wrong direction when you turn it on, just swap any three of the (U,V,W) leads.

Brake Resistor:Resistor

Connect your brake resistor by placing the two wires on the +2/B1 and B2 terminals as shown in figure 4.
(Note: If needed to extend the wires use High Temp rated wire.)

Mount Resistor:Resistor

Mount the resistor to the cabinet.

Programming

Changing IP Address

 The IP address of the VFD must be set to 192.168.208.80 to communicate with Mach4. This has to be done on the drive. After communication with the drive is set up all other programming and modifying parameters can be done over the network from the MachMotion Parameters page in the MachMotion Plugin.

ParameterDescValue
09-76IP address -1192
09-77IP address -2168
09-78IP address -3208
09-79IP address -480
09-84Default gateway -1192

09-85

Default gateway -2168

09-86

Default gateway -3208

09-87

Default gateway -480

You can also set the IP address with the DCISoft application that is attached to this document.

Open the software and click on the M icon to search for devices

It should locate the ModBus card on the Delta drive and show its current configuration. If it does not have a valid IP address in the current network, it may take longer for the software to locate the card. You may also get several error messages. Be patient.

It will come up with the Overview tab.

Switch to the Basic tab to make changes to the IP address and Gateway.

Set the IP address and the Gateway, then click the Apply button

Open a CMD terminal window and try pinging the card. If the ModBus card responds, click OK and close the software.

VFD Programming

To program the VFD you will need to utilize the Mach4 software. While the control is disabled follow the next few steps. 

Step 1: Click on Configure -> Plugins -> MachMotion

Appendix

Apollo III 

If you have an Apollo III board you will need to connect the Ethernet cables in a specific way.

1. Install the communication card on the Delta VFD. Place the Black Connection harness to the communication card and place the green PE wire into the green connection.

VFD-Apollo-III-Connections.jpg

2. Connect Ethernet cable coming from the Delta VFD to Ethernet 2 Port on the Apollo III.

3. Connect the Computer Ethernet cable to Ethernet 1 Port on the Apollo III. 

4. Connect the the Apollo III board enable to Delta MS300 VFD as shown below.

5. Refer back to Step 1 for motor wiring and incoming power wiring. 


Alarms

If you were to get an alarm on the VFD you will receive a message on the computer screen from the Global Message System. For example, the figure below shows a communication alarm. In the description of the alarm it will describe the necessary steps to try to resolve the alarm.
