you can use spare Output from the B-axis and put a PWM to 0-10V converter
on that, then you have a Speed control.

had a quick look to the Manuals.
look's like your bob had only a relay Output to Switch on/off the VFD, but no speedcontrol.

i found something about the wiring of the VFD.

pretty simple

use the MDI

-put your x axis to the left end
-zerro x axis
-mark this startpoint somewhere physicaly
-take real Speed F100 (don't know in witch Units (imperial/metric) you are working)
-then G1 X? (? should be something at the right end of your machine)
-then G1X0
-then G1 X? ?(should be something at the right end of your machine)
-then G1X0

... and so on about 10-20 times
-wath your physicaly mark for X0

and then the same for y axis
