I was not intending to use panel control, but speed and direction control from the CSMIO-IP-S.

Looks like I will have to read up how the VFD works. My understanding was that DCM connected to FOR by a relay would cause the VFD to spin the motor according to the (0-10v) voltage applied to V1 and that opening the DCM, FOR connection would allow it to coast to a stop. All the setup articles I have seen are just how to connect R,S,T to single phase input and UVW to the motor, presumably then using the front panel to control ON/OFF and speed. I can't find any proper explanantion of the way RST (reset) works and what exactly it does.

Does anybody use braking resistors to pull the spindle to a halt ?
