More annoying VFD questions from me.
If anyone remembers, I had a WEG VFD on my lathe that wouldn't allow S/V torque if the carrier frequency was set to 15KHz. I came across a good deal on another Hitachi WJ200 so I bought it. It doesn't have the limitations that the WEG has. In with the Hitachi, out with the Weg.
I'm getting the parts to remote control it.
First question is how to wire an emergency stop. As well as stopping the lathe in an emergency, I need to prevent the lathe from being accidentally turned on while working the chuck or moving the belt on the step pulley.
One youtube video suggested interrupting the power leg going to the forward/stop/reverse switch. I'm using the existing control lever that's on my carriage. It's a 3 wire setup. Is that a good way of wiring an emergency stop?
