How do you set up the ATV320 for auto manual control? https://www.se.com/ww/en/faqs/FA332557/

What is this mysterious auto manual control is yet to be discovered and learned about.

Quick update
I downloaded the SoMove application and ATV320 DTM Library.
First impression is that this VFD is highly programmable/customisable and quite complex ... not something to jump in not knowing what to do.

yes, Altivar has a RJ45 jack and  I ordered a cable for it, should be here next week and I downloaded the SoMachine software.
As I mentioned and as you pointed out it out configuration is different I just need to figure out how to program the ATV320.

Thank you Craig!
I emailed all the points you talked about to Graybar.

But electrical side is only a part of the problem. Looks like logic wiring is different than HY. For some reason all the pdfs that I have read so far on Schneider's web site are generic.

Terminals on HY and ATV320 are different from one another so it is not apples to apples

Short story is that I have a friend working for the Graybar Electrical and he put me in touch with an engineer who recommended this VFD.
You're absolutely right, I don't have 3 phase supply so I asked if this unit will work on my DIY shop and I was assured that it would work just fine.
I also got a line reactor as it was recommended.
I have not connected any of these parts yet because as I explained in my first post - I am a bit intimidated by the nominal power and wanted to make sure that I'm doing a right thing.
I will, however, ask my friend to elaborate on all the points which where raised in this conversation and I thank you for them!

According to a Graybar engineer this VFD can be configured to utilize one phase

Hi
Sadly I have zero experience with this unit/brand. At this point, I really really  really looking for an assistance to set the parameters up properly along with the wiring of an ATV320U75M3C https://tinyurl.com/u6wlkzn

This ATV320 is a replacement for a perished Huanyang VFD (HY).
So the Mach4 and the  ESS is currently configured and wired to run the HY.
Unfortunately the interface of the ATV320 looks nothing like HY

I have a single phase 240V to a three phase 2.2kW spindle.

Thank you, Erik.
