Please Help wiring a pendant to vfd inverter

[cobbler03]

im having some trouble wiring a pendant and a potentiometer to this vfd any and all help is Greatly Apperciated here is a diagrham and some pics attached

The diagram is pretty clear. Do you have a pre-made pendant or are you building something?

i wanna build a start stop and forward reverse and jog control box with a speed control
im not to savy with this schamtic

If you want to build something it's a question of getting together a box, switches and contact blocks etc. The inverter will take the output of a potentiometer as a speed reference, and these are readily available either as single turn or multi turn. Make sure you get a linear pot not a logarithmic one.

yes but i need a diagram to follow im not too swift trying to figure out this schmatic
i have all the parts just dont have the know how

 

[Luke]

What parts do you have? Photos would be useful.

i have the box and the pushbuttons and the contact blocks and the wire and the potentiometer im gonna mount to a milling machine
i have the vfd working at the moment just with the buttons on the drive i wont to mount the box to the mill so it will be easy to operate in stead of having to step behind the mill to change the vfd settings

It seems fairly straightforward , first thing to decide is how many switches you want and what functions they will have. Count the number of switches you need and add one for a common supply. Then add at least 3 spare wires for a potentiometer supply, this will be the wire with the number of cores you will need to buy. Eg for 4 switchesyou would count 4 switches + 1 (common) + 3 (potentiometer) = 8 core.

On the diagram above use for example core 1 (multi core cable is generally numbered to identify the individual cores, sometimes colour coded) as common supply, 2,3,4,5 etc for wires back to the inverter and 6,7,8 as potentiometer wires.

Take some single strand wire to the other side of the switches to connect the commons together.

Sounds like you're pretty close. Post up some pictures.
