set B037 to 0 = advanced display
you will then have the missing options available.
then id do a factory reset to make sure all perams are default before continuing.

Thank you! So I leave the jumper on the inverter where it came out of the box for now right? It's between PLC and P24. I know I move it later when I wire up to the Thanos boards.
Oh, and what about that one inverter with the dim display? I looked at the ground and it didn't come loose or anything.

Did that setting and reset all of the VFD's to factory settings (one is still dim on the LED display).

Found carrier frequency setting on GA-Dawg's thread (B083 set to 15) to control noise and it greatly reduced but didn't eliminate the squeal.
One of my six VFD's failed to run the motor and tripped code E05.4 (may have also gotten E05.3), the other five ran without error. The one that tripped is NOT the one with the dim LED display. B012 and B013 are both set the same on the bad one as the rest.
UPDATE: Actuator 4 tripping code E05.3 during initial startup test SOLVED! One of my wire nuts had come loose at the motor.
Current questions:
What would be causing the LED display to be dim on one of my 6 inverters?

The dimmed display could be factory defect (wrong resistor value for the leds?)
It should be fine if it's moving the motor and not overheating. You could ask the vendor if you don't like it (cosmetic reasons).
Thanks Thanos

"Found carrier frequency setting on GA-Dawg's thread (B083 set to 15) to control noise and it greatly reduced but didn't eliminate the squeal."
you wont eliminate the whine completely.
just be aware that running such a high carrier frequency can introduce additional EMI and may degrade the motors quicker.

What would be a good compromise on that setting? I've got more EMI protection than most, but naturally nowhere near absolute. The only big problem with the whine is my wife is very sensitive to that kind of sound otherwise I'd just turn up the volume =D As far as the dim LED's they don't bother me at all, I was just worried it might indicate other problems. I bought the inverters, motors, gearboxes, etc. 2 years ago this month so I was definitely a bit worried about what I'd find the first time I powered things up!

leave the carrier at 15hz if you need to, just thought it was worth mentioning incase you have any issues that cant otherwise be explained.

Wiring is all done except I haven't hooked up the braking resistors yet.
I found the setting in the AMC to set pos 135 neg 246, what about other settings? I may have accidentally changed something, start position maybe.
I'll go through GA-Dawg's thread for inverter settings and check all those then I guess it's time to fire up x-sim or something to proceed from there?

Trying to update firmware on the AMC1280USB and got a buffer overflow error. My board is v.1f and I'm trying to update to the newest firmware v.2.1
Am I supposed to use only v1 firmwares on my v.1f board? If so, that means v.1l but there are several copies of the firmware in that folder marked CMD, CMD_01, CMD_02, CMD_06. How do I know which of those to load up?
I successfully updated to v.1k in the meantime. Am I supposed to install the FTDI drivers?

Thanks Hexpod!
I have more questions! Trying to do the Hitachi auto tune.
First, am I correct in doing the autotune with the upper platform not attached? Do I have to do maths to add the load like they talk about? (The measured inertia J is based on the motor alone. To apply the data, add the moment of inertia of the load machine to the measured J data after converting the moment of inertia to the motor shaft data.) That is way over my head!
Also, trying to follow the instructions for the auto tune it says this "12) To execute auto-tuning, be sure to set the output frequency (F001) larger than starting frequency (b082) regardless with or without rotation."
My b082 seems to be 0.50 and F001 is 0.00 but I can't seem to change the F001 setting. I get no PRG light and can't edit it. I tried to run the auto tune anyway and after setting H001 to 02 I still have no run enable LED and the run button does nothing.
Then there is this: "7)Be sure to deactivate ATR terminal (52:Enable torque cmd. input), otherwise motor constants are not measured properly." I found the list of these codes but haven't figured out yet where to go to turn this on or off.
PS- I'm guessing some if not all of these problems trying to auto-tune are because I already changed settings to match what GA-Dawg has on his thread, and/or because I finished the wiring to the Thanos board and moved the jumper on the inverters. Assuming this is correct I need to know what needs to be reversed (settings, jumper, wiring disconnect?) to enable the auto-tune.

Ok guys, here is my best guess/understanding of what I need to do and in what order:
Current status: All wiring (except braking resistors) complete. Upper platform NOT currently connected to actuators. Inverter settings from page 4 of GA-Dawg's thread all set in all six VFD's. Powered everything up, had to swap ALL SIX 1/2 wires on the inverters to get correct behaviour but they are all working properly now!
Questions: a) I still need to Run VFD auto-tune. See previous post for problems with trying to do the auto tune. b) Do I have to change any other settings in the AMC board interface? 135pos 246neg is set already. c) Do I have to install the FTDI drivers on the computer? d) At what point do I connect the upper platform? e) Also need to connect my brake resistors, but looking at the diagram not sure how. What terminals do they go on?
Thanks for the help guys, I'm SO close but in way over my head here. =)
Trip
