Hello everyone! I’ve been a member for sometime but have not posted anything yet. The wealth of information I have gained here is amazing, and hope to have something to contribute at some point.
I recently purchased a SB Heavy 10 which came equipped with a 3 phase motor. I’m using this at home so 3 phase wasn’t available from he utility company. I could have replace the motor with a single phase, or go the other route (much cooler imho) and get a VFD. I opted for the Hitachi WJ200 single phase 120 in / 1hp 3 phase out model.
I painstakingly went through the manual a dozen times and was able to get the base parameters of the motor inputted and get the motor to turn. Excited!
Next, get some shielded wire and use the drum switch that came with it to control FWD/STOP/REV function through the control logic. Success!
Step three, wire in a (2k 2 watt)pot to control frequency output. Success!
Last step (for now) install a momentary N/O switch to use the jog function. The 429 page manual doesn’t seem to have much info on this in depth , at least not that I can find. What I gathered so far is:
The same common (L terminal) as the FWD/REV is used, and the other side of the switch goes to T3. I went into parameter A038 and set to default frequency of 5hz, then A039 and set to 2.
It’s not working and I feel like I’m missing something. I assume there’s a way to program direction of motor rotation while using the jog function?
Thank you so much for any help in advance!
Best,
Taki
