We have a spindle VFD which faults every few hours. We really need a new one, but that will come. Not sure the cause, but there are electric trains nearby and we suspect power surges may be the problem. Or maybe just a flaky VFD. The VFD has a fault relay which has NC and NO contacts. We wired one of the contacts to motion.enable, like this: net vfd-ok motion.enable <= hm2_5i20.0.gpio.052.in_not We also have a pushbutton called RESET in the pyvcp panel of axis, which drives the VFD's reset line. When there is a fault it halts motion, and after pressing F2 in axis and the reset button on the panel, it can be restarted. Not sure if this is optimal, but it seems to work ok. I'm not sure if this would work with the vault logic your VFD has.
