I know this topic is covered extensively on here and there is a massive amount of information online on the subject but so far most of the info whilst I can cross reference to my VFD, it is still a little confusing in some instances.
So I was hoping to get some help.
I am hoping to make a switch panel that has the following.......
1, Main Power on/off rotary switch (I am able to wire this as it will be for the 240v AC coming into the VFD)
2, Remote Start/ Stop push button for the VFD
3, Remote Rotary Fwd/Rev switch for the VFD
4, Remote Speed Pot for the VFD
5, Not critical but I was thinking an Emergency Stop might be nice as well at some stage
I guess everything I want is very common for a Lathe.
I am using a 3/4hp motor, input is 240v, output is to the 3ph motor.
It is wired up and works perfect using the VFD interface.
The VFD came with this little bit of paper to make the pot on the unit control the speed. The default was to use the arrows to control the speed.
Here is a pic of the terminal block on the actual unit.
And here is a link to the manual for the VFD
VFD Manual
Any advice or help in the way of a 'dummy's' guide to do what I want to do would be really appreciated. I know it is a lot to ask but if you dont ask..........
I was thinking the start/stop buttons will be just your standard NO switch on the start side . The FWD/REV rotary dial would also be NO and the Pot will be just a 5-10k 3 pin unit. Emergency stop I am unsure what to do with that. I dont know if it simply cuts the AC or if it is something that is done through the VFD with resistors?
Thanks for any help.
