Like the title says is there an advantage to using Modbus to talk to your VFD? I just purchased an Delta MS300 VFD. Reading through the manual it talks about using Modbus to talk to the controller.
I've never looked in to this, so I don't really know anything about it.
So I am wondering if I set up Modbus communication what advantages does it have over direct wiring. Can I get speed feedback, better control of the VFD? What amount of effort is required to set it up. (I am a software engineer so some programming doesn't bother me).
All I currently have connected to my unit is 0v-10v speed input, fwd/rev, spindle at speed, spindle at stop.
Thanks!
