I have usually been able to set the parameters on most VFD's i've come across but just got some IMO Jaguar VXSM drives

I want to use them with the built inkeypad control as most of the time its just to start them and leave at the same speed as before

My problem is when using the up/down buttons the frequency changes in 0.01 htz increments so very slowly if you hold the button down it eventually speeds up but by then you let go because its moving so fast and then have to repeat the process

Is there a parameter to allow the up/down buttons to change frequency in whole units rather than 0.01 units?

I assume that you have a manual for these VFDs if not then this might help. If you only want to use them at a preset speed is there any preset speed function that can be programmed in and recalled on start up.

Cheers

Ah! Many models without a rotary knob...

Looks like F23 - set starting frequency could help, just set it to your favourite speed

Edit - but why not just wire up a speed pot?

Ian,

Can't think of one off the top of my head but I'll look later tonight. Worst comes to the worst I'm still in contact with an ex IMO tech guy from when we used to buy them by the shed load. Have to be after the holiday though.

However we always used to fit remote switches and pots.

Yes i usually fit switches and pots but in this application its got a nice key[pad that will do the job so it would be nice not to have to fit external controls

Its set so it starts at the last speed

Its just adjusting if ness is a bit hit and miss with the slow acting up and down buttons

there must be a parameter that does what i want
