I'm inching closer to figuring this out but I'm still having trouble understanding it.
Doing a mill retrofit and I am using a Hitachi SJ P1 inverter that's connected to a RS485-to-USB adapter which is connected to the computer using UCCNC and MODBUSEZ plugin. The MODBUS plugin is just looking for simple addresses: spindle CW/CCW, frequency/speed address, and spindle ON/OFF. The creator developed it originally for the Hyuanyangangangang VFD but eventually configured it to communicate with various other drives with (most) success.
So, I sifted through the 50+ pages of addresses and tried a handful to see if I could get it going. No dice.
Searched the internet to find quite a few people are using the WJ200 with some luck.
Well, some found address FF00 to be able to turn the spindle CW and 1216 as the address to change freq/speed. When I looked at the WJ200 manual, I couldn't find FF00. 1216 made some sense as it was the "multi-speed frequency, HIGH" address.
So, I tried FF00 on mine and could get the Run button to acknowledge (flashes green) so I assume it's wanting to turn CW. It also flashes "limit" on the screen so I'm guessing it's needing a frequency. However, I can't find FF00 in the P1 manual as well. I also can't really find a relatable 1216.
I wrote to Hitachi as well so I expect a reply in the next year, lol.
