MVP 2023 kratmel Posted August 13, 2023 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Some tips: 1) You must start to use UMI via blank project and configure 1 VFD. 2) Configured Umi can be controled via simple UMI command (from UMI menu) and by changing speed and torqe variables defined in configuration. 3) Is it dip sw on RS485 comm card in correct = RS485 + termination? 4) Is it cable from UMI to RS485 card connected properly? P.S. I do not find any UMI inverters on din rail in Visilogic HW config of your project. ADD UMI to project = add some hidden subroutine that is not visible for user. You must try start to use UMI via project from example for configure 1 VFD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP 2023 kratmel Posted August 13, 2023 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 3 hours ago, t0r3r0s said: have you any other solution You must post VFD model # and (or) VFD communication manual. All of VFD must be configured before connect to any communication (network ID, comm speed, start command source and speed command source must be defined). After that you must use PC Modbus software (and USB-RS485 dongle) for test communication and VFD operation. Only after success with this step you can try to set VFD - PLC communication.

DanT Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Hi; A Note from Experience. A SAMBA PLC has Limited Memory !! When Adding Unitronics VFD Functon blocks to a SAMBA, it takes up a lot of that available memory and leaves only a small amount for actual application programming. User program will have to be very small. ( In our case, customer ended up using Small UniStream PLC to handle the program and the VFD) DanT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
