Evening,

I currently use Rexroth VFD´s, but the scaling options are a bit sparse.
Basically it has a multiplier that you can set from 0.1 to 100.
For example on a pillar drill I added one to, I wanted the display to show RPM, but as the motor is geared down (for example 12:1), you only get two decimal places and you can't get it accurate enough.
I know I´m being ----, but is there a low cost VFD that has a multiply and divide for scaling?
Thanks.

add a display meter to the setup they can be scaled to whatever you like from a 0 to 10v input

That’s a way, I was hoping to find a reason to use a different drive this time though!
Looking at the Siemens V20 it has a multiplier and divisor but it’s so hideous to look at!
Thanks.
