Swapping any two wires connected to the U V W terminals of your VFD will make the spindle run in the opposite direction.
(Of all the years I have been running CNC machines I have never needed to run a spindle in the reverse direction).

PEACE
reverse would be used for tapping and rigid taping not needed I'm got it I was able to reverse the spindle using active low on all 3 spindle configs under output tab
