So i have wired up my VFD, turned it on and all funstions appear to be running. So reading the instruction manual i get that i have to program each function to run the 3 phase machine i have, but i am a little confused.

The VFD also has a manual configuration panel that is separate from the computerised face plate.

I get that learning how to correctly program the VFD will be an educational process, but i am struggling to find a goid website with clear explainations...

Any tips on a internet resource?

Note: although VFDs are for use with one motor, not a large machine with several motors, but the amp demands of all the motors are very low, an electrical engineer assured me 1 VFD should work well.

I usually google the device name and model to get the installation/configuration manual or go direct to manufacturer website and look under support... downloads. If that does not work i have emailed manufacturer tech support for the manual.

Hello,
I hear what you are saying, but i already have the manual and was seeking an online resource that better clarifies how to program this vfd. The instruction manual basically lists each programable function, in pretty poor chinese to english translation.
