| The Delta VFD controller, as well as the PM/Jet, are VFD-S series
| controllers. Mostly standard, off the shelf products. For example,
| the unit used on the Delta is based on the VFD015S21A/B controller.
| The OEM version has a custom plastic door and a few pre-programmed
| registers which make it non-standard - Unfortunately. The controller
| is much more capable than it is allowed to be by the Delta register
| settings. (For those who are unaware, the VFD is a microprocessor
| controlled power switch, and contains non-volatile memory locations
| which can be programmed with static values to enable/disable certain
| built in functions of the basic unit. Among these features are
| frequency/current/voltage readouts, and externally mounted
| speed/start/stop/fwd/rev controls.

It's an extremely capable and flexible controller. I have one driving
the spindle on my ShopBot. Did you get the manual containing all of
the register/parameter info?
