              Hi Guys, I want to control a VFD with arduino through   RS232 or RS485 anyone has done that?

              Hi @ET20  and welcome to our forum!
I haven’t done controlling variable-frequency drives from Arduino (only did this from PLCs) but it should be possible.
I’ve done a quick Google search, and it seems that there are plenty of information about this online:

  Hello, pretty new to Arduino but I'm tasked with creating a greenhouse controller. I'm stuck at trying to control some existing variable frequency drives (WEG CFW500 series). From what I can gather, I'll have to program the VFD to accept a digital...

  Hello Everyone,  I am trying to control the speed of a three phase motor with an arduino. I have purchased the variable frequncy drive that connects the motor and can adjust the speed. However, I need way to read the speed and ultimately control...
