On the remote, the outer 2 pins on each end of the connector are filled in and not in use anyway. I do not have another VFD to compare to see if this is standard. Lapond offers a cable for sale as a separate item but the seller is currently out of stock on them. I'm getting ready to purchase a couple more VFDs (They will, more than likely be the LAPOND SVD-ES Single Phase VFD Drive VFD Inverter Professional Variable Frequency Drive 2.2KW 3HP 220V 10A for Spindle Motor Speed Control (VFD-2.2KW)) for other machines I'm building but, yet again, I want to mount the control pads remotely from the unit. Ability to find a cable to do so may be a factor in which VFD I purchase.
So, if any of you out there know which cable will work (or if it is actually proprietary) on my HY01D523B, and the Lapond VFDs (instead of the one they sell) the information would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
