Hi your videos are great!. I have been racking my brains to solve de following. I want to control two VFDs like this one with python via RS485 in "remote mode" But I want to have a "local" mode the two VFd´s can read each other DI, because I´m using their DI for security switches and door status (door open, door closed) and each one is also controlled via DI for run/stop and reverse. But I need that in "local" mode the pyhton routine that in "remote" runs as a MASTER to the VFDs slaves is now a passive or slave to the system (can´t interfere with them, but can read the VFD´s status parameters). I assume this is done via WPS ladder logic. Any help on any resource to read how this can be done ?

Mixing higher level languages like Python with low level industrial devices like a VFD is a fairly rare occurrence, so we do not have any examples for anything like that unfortunately. Depending on your requirements there could be plenty of ways to skin that particular cat. I would recommend you contact our technical support team for further details on the various mode options and I/O interlocks you can accomplish with these drives.
