    Anyone ever connected an Invertex Optidrive E3 VFD to the BlackBox X32 Controller?

    In essence almost all VFDs accept some kind of dry contact RUN/STOP signal (Relay on BlackBox or panel switch, or alternatively not even wired up: just setup Min-RPM / Min-Freq setting on the VFD that keeps spindle off until commanded speed goes over 7200RPM) and a 0-10v analog signal (0=0RPM, 10v=24000RPM) as provided by BlackBox

    We provide the industry standard 0-10v signal output, and the VFD and its manual tells you where to wire it, what settings to set, and how to use it :)

    VFD supplier provides tech support for their equipment (You proved the 0-10v signal is there with multimeter as shown in docs before hooking up anything - so you know BlackBox works - then anything from there that does not, is a VFD config/wiring issue) - be careful, incorrect wiring can still damage BlackBox so be sure to test it before connecting anything so you know it was in good condition
