Check the manufacturer's info to be sure. Many of these VFDs can accept
0-10 V DC as a 0-100% speed command. You will have to figure out
what signals your CNC control provides for the spindle speed commands.
You might want to make sure the speed command is being produced by the
CNC control before you replace the spindle VFD.
