Altivar 61 command+application=confusion
(OP)
I have a Altivar 61 vfd that gets its speed reference and run signal from a plc. That is working great.
What I would like to do is add a contact that would give a second digital input to the vfd "hand" and when in hand the speed reference would come from the vfd hmi. Switch in hand =drive runs and speed reference from vfd hmi.

I tried reading the ATV61 manual to found out how but gave up after a while, too confusing. On a positive note, it made me realise how user friendly our own manuals are...

Had a factory rep come and show us the unit and he was confused. What a waste of time, never get that one back.
But if you look at the VFD parameter set, it looks like something that was done 20 years ago with the alpha numeric type format. It is totally confusing also.
Yea the manuals for this product line stink.

If I call tech support tomorrow at least I know I won't be talking to anyone on this forum.
Thanks for the replies. Misery loves company.
