VFD: Control connections and configuration
The purpose of selecting particular control connections and setting various configuration parameters is to select the required logical and speed control functions for the particular application. The configurable items can be grouped as follows:
The VFD control terminals can be configured, on an individual terminal basis, to suit a wide variety of applications. This provides enormous flexibly.
Factory default settings
The factory default terminal configuration provides for single direction control from either the terminal strip or the front panel console, as selected by a local / remote input on the terminal strip. There is a menu function to restore the terminal configuration and all VFD parameters to the factory default state should you wish to do so.
