If that's what it does, it ain't right. I don't think the VFD would live long under those conditions.
Then its not right because that's exactly what it does. Okay I just spent the last couple of hours reading the instructions on this VFD. Its a Danfoss VLT Microdrive FC 51 2.2 kW 3hp.
Quite interesting, it has a Run Reverse function, I'm still looking to see if it provides inputs to switch forward/reverse remotely via an external switch vs navigating a menu on the control pad. It does support a remote 10k pot for controlling spindle speed. This particular unit comes with a built in pot (they offer a version without the pot). I'm not sure if I can disable the built in pot and wire up a remote pot via the menu, if need be I'll break out my electronics gear and perform surgery. If I can also control the forward/reverse from a remote low voltage/low current switch that will be great, I can get rid of the big ugly China barrel switch.
