I picked up a 1hp 3 phase Bridgeport with a J head. I'm planning on making a box with a FWD/REV switch, potentiometer, start/stop, and an E-Stop which ill mount in a convenient position. The VFD would be mounted separately elsewhere, so these are all remote switches. I simply don't know what to look for in a VFD to know if it's able to accept external inputs. Does anyone have ang suggestions on VFDs, or perhaps keywords or things I should be looking for?
A tangentially related question- I'll have the 240v power come into a main control box where the VFD is mounted. If I also run a neutral line into the box and use that line and one of the hot lines to get 120v power, will that affect the VFD at all? It would be to run an LED light, DRO, power feed, maybe a coolant pump if I ever get around to it.
