But you will have to program the Select Command, as described on page 79/4-12
Same, but with the Keypad Setup programmed (page 79/4-12 as well)

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!
Possible candidate for 3-phase for my lathe?

[and @jcdammeyer's catch of momentary switches]
My pdf is truncated. I'll have to try it again.
I confess that I find it hard to believe that the fwd/rev switches are momentary. If that's the norm, I'm not aware of it.
Or is that perhaps an optional configuration?
The VFD can also have the two momentary switches act as JOG buttons. While held down the motor turns.
I think I prefer that.
What about ESD?
Emergency Shut Down.
Oh that's the start/stop to me.
The VFD should support an ESD function. Killing the VFD power while it's running is not recommended.
Well......
IMHO, it's an EStop. The EStop should use a brake resistor and it should stop NOW. Almost to the point of breaking something. Basically max torque but in reverse.
The regular stop should use a programmed decelleration that is similar to the acceleration rate when it is turned on. Both are reasonably fast but not emergency class. I set these rates based on smoothness. This is important because I sometimes go from full forward to full reverse.
I can add a brake resistor.
With a threaded spindle nose I can't do a hard stop as I risk spinning the chuck off.

Yes, I see it there.
I've downloaded the manual twice now. It seems to be incomplete. I cannot find page 3-47. In fact the last half of section 3 is missing for me.
I REALLY want to see how this momentary switch stuff works.
Nice edit. I agree. A threaded spindle adds its own requirements.
This is probably one of the many advantages of a VFD. You can make it what it needs to be.
If you always use a torque wrench to install the chuck, you could, set the decell rate to be safely below that. Better would be to actually measure the torque to loosen the chuck and program the VFD decell to stay below that.
