GS2 VFD

-b or --bits <n> (default 8) Set number of data bits to <n>, where n must be from 5 to 8 inclusive

-d or --device <path> (default /dev/ttyS0) Set the name of the serial device node to use

-g or --debug Turn on debugging messages. This will also set the verbose flag. Debug mode will cause all modbus messages to be printed in hex on the terminal.

-n or --name <string> (default gs2_vfd) Set the name of the HAL module. The HAL comp name will be set to <string>, and all pin and parameter names will begin with <string>.

-p or --parity {even,odd,none} (default odd) Set serial parity to even, odd, or none.

-r or --rate <n> (default 38400) Set baud rate to <n>. It is an error if the rate is not one of the following: 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200

-s or --stopbits {1,2} (default 1) Set serial stop bits to 1 or 2

-t or --target <n> (default 1) Set MODBUS target (slave) number. This must match the device number you set on the GS2.

-v or --verbose Turn on debug messages. Note that if there are serial errors, this may become annoying. At the moment, it doesn’t make much difference most of the time.

<name>.DC-bus-volts (float, out) The DC bus voltage of the VFD

<name>.at-speed (bit, out) when drive is at commanded speed

<name>.err-reset (bit, in) reset errors sent to VFD

<name>.firmware-revision (s32, out) from the VFD

<name>.frequency-command (float, out) from the VFD

<name>.frequency-out (float, out) from the VFD

<name>.is-stopped (bit, out) when the VFD reports 0 Hz output

<name>.load-percentage (float, out) from the VFD

<name>.motor-RPM (float, out) from the VFD

<name>.output-current (float, out) from the VFD

<name>.output-voltage (float, out) from the VFD

<name>.power-factor (float, out) from the VFD

<name>.scale-frequency (float, out) from the VFD

<name>.speed-command (float, in) speed sent to VFD in RPM
It is an error to send a speed faster than the Motor Max RPM as set in the VFD

<name>.spindle-fwd (bit, in) 1 for FWD and 0 for REV sent to VFD

<name>.spindle-rev (bit, in) 1 for REV and 0 if off

<name>.spindle-on (bit, in) 1 for ON and 0 for OFF sent to VFD

<name>.status-1 (s32, out) Drive Status of the VFD (see the GS2 manual)

<name>.status-2 (s32, out) Drive Status of the VFD (see the GS2 manual)
Note that the value is a sum of all the bits that are on. So a 163 which means
the drive is in the run mode is the sum of 3 (run) + 32 (freq set by serial)
+ 128 (operation set by serial).

<name>.error-count (s32, RW)

<name>.loop-time (float, RW) how often the modbus is polled (default 0.1)

<name>.nameplate-HZ (float, RW) Nameplate Hz of motor (default 60)

<name>.nameplate-RPM (float, RW) Nameplate RPM of motor (default 1730)

<name>.retval (s32, RW) the return value of an error in HAL

<name>.tolerance (s32, RW) speed tolerance (default 0.01)
