How do I hook up a VFD Spindle and what commands in rapid would I use to make it run?

How do I hook up and program a VFD Spindle to IRC5 Controller and what commands in rapid would I use to make it turn on/off and can I change the frequencies with rapid to change the speed?

  • It depends on what kind of VFD it is, and what available IO you have. You can either do it traditionally using discrete IO to start/stop the motor and an analog output to change the frequency of the drive, or you can do it over Ethernet as long as you have the Ethernet scanner option.
