Hi all,
I have a new to me VMC-15 with Baldor Spindle drive(VS1GV210-1B). The high speed mode does not work and only runs at 50RPM with the spindle load indicator at 120-150%. I am new to Fadal machines but the low speed mode seems to work normally 0-2500RPM spindle commands work and I can override them up to 3700RPM.
With Fadal control out of the loop, I can command the drive manually on the keypad in low speed (WYE) configuration and see the corresponding RPM with voltage reading of 216V and spindle spinning correctly. When switched to high speed (Delta) configuration, the manually commanded RPM caps out at 50ish RPM and the voltage shown on the display was 9V (absurdly low).
Seems to me like the drive electronics, encoder, motor, and input power are all OK from the normal Low speed operation. WYE or Delta configuration shouldn't matter for the drive right? If it works perfectly in WYE shouldn't the drive be good in Delta?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
