Hey guys,
I'm retrofitting my lathe with a VFD (Yaskawa V1000). I've read the manual a few times, and everything seems pretty clear on how to do it.
The only thing I can't decide is which controls to use to operate the lathe.
Three options in my mind (E-stop button included in all of the options):
1:
- FWD/REV - two-position rotary switch
- Start - green NO push button
- Stop - red NC push button
2:
- FWD/REV - two-position rotary switch
- ON/OFF - two-position rotary switch
3:
- FWD/OFF/REV - three-position rotary switch
The VFD supports all three options, and I have buttons/switches to implement all three as well.
What would be most convenient/safe arrangement? This is a home workshop, I'm the only user.
Thanks!
