    Good morning,

    I have a VFD that I'm trying to wire to X32 controller. I'm using the 0-10V because I have a laser on the PWM. I have a switch to toggle between the two. I found the schematics for that on this forum. Doing some research the 0-10V connects to the Vi on the vfd. My vfd doesn't have a Vi labeled. I have a picture of my vfd connections attached for review. The VFD is YL620-H. I'm thinking one of those is the Vi, I just can't find anything on it. Thanks for your help sorting this out.

    Refer to the VFD manual to see how to wire up the industry standard 0-10v signal

    I went down that path with this manual and a few others. They are about as clear as mud. Great for power supply and spindle, lacking everywhere else. I was hoping someone had been down this path. Thanks for your feedback and I'll keep looking..

    It should at least describe the terminals somewhere. Parameters pages should list things like frequency source : external terminals etc.
    A quick check in with your VFD supplier?

    I followed your advice and contacted the supplier. (what a concept! lol) After going thru half a dozen people it turns out that I had the generic 600 series manual. After receiving the correct manual for my VFD I believe this is the correct pin to use. I haven't tried it yet as I want to check 0-10V and adjust if necessary and go over any grbl settings I need to update. I've had the spindle running but not attached to the machine yet.
    Thanks for all your help and any further thoughts you might have will be greatly appreciated!

    From the manual.
    AI1- Analog input terminal 1
    1. Input range: DC 0V~10V/0mA~20mA , determined by P4-39
    2. Input impedance: 22kΩ for voltage input and 500Ω for
    current input

    Watch out for that one - make sure jumper is on the 0-10v mode, if its on the 4-20mA position when you wire up the 0-10v it could damage the BlackBox. Move the jumper FIRST

    Just $30=24000 (24krpm spindle, if yours is different adjust to suit)

    I saw a jumper on a you tube video a guy needed to switch, I don't see a physical jumper on mine. I'll go back through the manual and see if I can find it. Thanks for the heads up, that would leave a mark for sure.

    I see what your saying. P4-39 setting, not a physical jumper.
