Thanks Ian, got it sussed now, diagram 5 and macro 10 was the one I was aiming at.

Reverting back to function 0 just to try it did reveal that one of the last things I did before giving up earlier and then later deciding to do a full reset was swap DI1 and 2 over, correcting those two and then changing back to function 10 has put it all exactly right. I think the reset did it, but I'll accept that to everyone else it looks very much like my cockup!

May the milling commence!

As an Electrical Engineer I'll hand in my credentials at the door...

Thanks all

Cheers Steve, that figure appears (to me anyway) to be showing the bare minimum needed to make a motor spin and is consistent with the default macro function (0) on page 29 and diagram 1 on page 27.

I believe with my pushbuttons configured in the way they are, if I were inadvertently using this function then my stop button would cause the motor to change direction, so fairly convinced that this isn't my smoking gun.

I may give it a spin in this mode just to see if it reveals anything strange.

Afternoon all!

I am planning to give Invertek a call on Monday, but was wondering whether anyone else has had a similar issue and a solution!

I've just fitted an Invertek Optidrive E3 inverter (ODE-3-120070-1F12), everything seems to be working fine except for the configuration of the remote controls. I have DI1 & DI2 wired to the original Start (N/O) and Stop (N/C) momentary pushbuttons of my machine to diagram 5 in the manual (section 7.2). I've accordingly set parameter P-15 to 10 (section 7.4).

For some reason, the start pushbutton has to be held to get the machine to run and stops when it's released, suggesting it's looking for a latched 'Run' command rather than a momentary 'Start' as advertised. If I hold the stop button and press start the machine will not start, which rules out some of the other configurations.

I've tried disconnecting the push buttons and used direct wire links to rule out wiring issues, but that returned the same result. I've also tried a reset and re-entered the parameters but I'm at a bit of a loss!

Obviously I could fit a relay and wire in a latching circuit, but I don't have one to hand and that's a bit of a faff when the manual suggests that the extra gubbins isn't needed.

Am I missing something silly? Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Hi all, sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but I thought it made more sense to keep this kind of gold dust information together.

I too am trying to work out how to get a quart in a pint pot! The dimensions I'm interested in that I've not managed to find elsewhere are the clearance under the table at its lowest height (on the original stand) and the depth from the back of the throat to the wall.

The latter in particular looks quite large - just trying to work out if there are any potential overlaps to be had, which might make it a little less conspicuous!

Thanks
