    2) Or operate it through the break-out board on your cnc controller using a relay. You would then issue some Gcode to start the pump before the spindle start Gcode

    Hope this helps

    No need to do either of those as it's very easy to let the VFD operate it.

    There is relay built into the VFD which can be set up to turn on/off when spindle spins. By default it's set to operate when a fault occurs but with few parameter changes can be set
    for on/off.

    The relay connections are FB & FC just feed either the positive or Negative of the power going to pump through these terminals.
    Then change parameter for these relays to work when Fwd is pressed, I think the parameter is PD52 or 53 but not got the manual in front of me so I can not check.

    The relay then just becomes a switch to the pump.
