Good information, but in your first parameter setting you state that you are setting the motor for forward rotation (using00-001) but you typed in 01 and said 01 the first time which would be reverse right? Maybe I am missing something.
Great question. Important to differentiate between the function group (00-01 is the motor rotation function group, 00-02 is the command mode function group, etc.) and the direction setting (0 = forward rotation, 1 = reverse). In this example, I navigate to 00-01 to get to the direction setting parameter, and then chose a value of zero at 4:47. Here's our quick start guide which covers this in more detail cdn.emotorsdirect.ca/QuickStartGuide/Quick_Guide_L510_for_Basic_Setup_Final_Version.pdf
@@emotorsdirect I see that both the A510 and the F510 are 230v + input, what would you recommend for a PMAC VFD that can run on 110v input? im only running a 1/4hp motor...
I'd need to know the type of PMAC motor in order to say anything. Can you share the cat #? Also our drives are rated for 230V output but can output the same amperage at lower voltages as well. So a 230V output VFD can output anywhere from 0 to 230V.
Hi Zerak, thank you for the question. TECO Westinghouse's software only runs on PC but the drive supports Modbus, so you can read/write parameters from any system that can read/write Modbus.
Thanks for the question, Felix. The best solution depends on what type of proximity sensors you have, and the parts you have on hand. A general solution is described below with inputs set to “53: 2-Wire Self Holding”. This will result in a system that moves forward when one proximity sensor is triggered and backward when the other sensor is triggered. I called it general because it will work regardless of the output type of the proximity sensors. I can email you a wiring diagram if it would be helpful.

Awesome video and webpage. This helped me a LOT! Thanks!
Glad it helped! I'll have some new VFD videos for you soon.
Thankyou sir

Can the L510 be used to control PMAC motors or just induction motors?
It cannot, but the A510 and and F510 support the necessary control algorithms to run PMAC motors. Thanks for the question!

Can it be configured via a Linux PC ? with which software?
