NB70,
I printed off some information from that VFD website link and was able to make more sense of the settings. I have now got it to start from the RichAuto controller and have been able to raise the required run speed from the 0 rpm it was set to. I've also reduced the deceleration time from 450 seconds to a more reasonable 15. Still need to sort out how to control the speed from the RichAuto rather than manually on the VFD but that can wait until my next visit on Monday. Thanks for your help.

I've also downloaded a demo version of UCCNC onto my laptop so that I could demo it to the other interested shed members and make them aware of what a real machine controller looks like.
