Common Control Wiring Schemes for Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are electronic devices used to control AC (alternating current) electric motors. They work by adjusting the frequency and voltage of the power supplied to the motor, which changes the motor’s speed, direction, and torque.
Most VFDs have screw terminals or pin headers labelled for both analog and digital input/output functions. Despite the prevalence of advanced network capabilities, many VFDs, particularly those used in smaller or remote settings, rely on digital input devices to drive their operation.
Typically, these digital inputs are generic and not dedicated to specific functions such as starting or stopping. However, you can assign functions to these signals by adjusting programmable parameters.
INDUS Engineering are the South’s leading providers of electrical engineering solutions. We specialise in a wide range of engineering services, including control panel manufacturing, special purpose machinery, and machine maintenance. Below, we explore some of the most common wiring control schemes for digital inputs.
What are the main types of VFD Control Wiring Schemes?
2-Wire Start-Stop Wiring
The two-wire circuit is the simplest wiring scheme for VFD control. It involves one signal to start a function and removing that signal to stop it. This is different from the three-wire start/stop latching functions, which we will discuss later.
There are two forms of two-wire functionality in a VFD: unidirectional and bi-directional. A single input can be used to drive the motor in either the forward or reverse direction, or two inputs can be used to choose between the two. These inputs are momentary, like a jog function, and are considered two-wire.
The basic wiring concept for 2-wire forward control involves connecting a single digital
input device to one of the digital inputs on the VFD, typically one of the first I/O terminals.
S For 2-wire reverse control, the single digital device is wired to the same or another input, and the parameter values are set to select the direction of motion when the run command is given.
S For bi-directional 2-wire control, two different digital input devices are used and wired to two digital inputs on the VFD, with the parameters controlling the method of operation and wire placement.
3-Wire Start-Stop Wiring
The 3-wire control scheme is similar to the 2-wire scheme, but slightly more complex. This scheme is derived from a common circuit known as ‘latching’ or ‘seal-in,’ in addition to 3-wire. Both start and stop buttons are provided for convenient latching control, with the signals not needing to be sustained like in 2-wire.

Can UK manufacturing raise robotics uptake by learning from Europe?
The UK is at risk of falling behind in global manufacturing unless it increases automation. Ranked 25th in the robotics league, it is the only G7 nation outside the top 20 and lags behind European countries like Germany, Italy, and Belgium in robot adoption.
Automation benefits UK manufacturing by addressing labor shortages, boosting productivity, and supporting net-zero goals. While UK robot installations rose by 3% in 2022, its robot density remains low at 98 per 10,000 workers, compared to Germany’s 415.
Several factors contribute to the UK’s slow adoption, including a focus on short-term returns and outdated engineering perceptions. Although the government has introduced a £4.5bn support package, further inspiration
can be drawn from European nations. Germany, for example, excels through innovation and collaboration between industry and academia. The UK could adopt a similar approach, focusing on long-term cost savings and fostering skilled labor.
Nordic countries like Sweden and Denmark also prioritize automation through government initiatives, encouraging innovation. Eastern European nations, such as Slovakia and Hungary, have used automation to improve productivity and worker safety.
In conclusion, the UK must invest more in automation and robotics to remain competitive globally, drawing inspiration from Europe’s successful models.

Home to over 200 guest rooms, a spa, a state-of-theart fitness centre, and a wide range of dining venues, the Ritz-Carlton Amman Hotel offers guests unrivalled luxury.
Standing next to the hotel is The Residences, bringing Ritz-Carlton’s world-famous service to an exquisite residential community unlike any other in the region. Residents can enjoy luxury from the sanctuary of their private homes, with access to all the tower’s amenities, including a cinema, gaming room, indoor pool and fitness centre, and beauty salon.
The design of the two towers infuses the modern elegance of cosmopolitan Amman with inspiration from Jordan’s culture and design, adding a stunning addition to the backdrop of the city’s skyline and offering stunning scenic views of Amman.
The aim of the lighting design was to enhance the elegant interiors with sleek and sophisticated luminaires. Lighting designers MBLD specified Lucent Lighting’s premium

Lucent MiniTRIM downlights enhance the elegance of The Residences, oozing luxury and opulence for residents of these premium
homes. The lighting acts as a key part of the overall design, blending seamlessly into the interiors while the effect it creates can be seen. The layers of thoughtful lighting bring to life colours and textures, spotlighting patterned tiles and enriching the plush materials of the décor.
Rob Honeywill, Design Director at MBLD said: “Lucent Lighting’s range of luminaires perfectly complemented the lighting design we created to illuminate the extravagant interior design of the hotel and Residences. Each luminaire blended seamlessly into the overall design while meeting the distinct atmosphere and requirements for each space. The premium lighting solutions perfectly matched the aesthetic of this prestigious project, enhancing the guest experience and providing the quality expected by the Ritz-Carlton.”

Creatives shun AI as cheating, says new research from Designit
Creatives are continuing to play it safe when it comes to using AI and avoiding it in the belief that it’s a ‘creative cheat’, according to new research from Designit.
Some 84% of creatives see AI as merely a helpful assistant, and a significant minority believe strongly that using AI as part of the creative process amounts to cheating. The findings come from a Designit poll that canvassed 1,200 creatives.
Qualitative feedback included one respondent likening AI to ‘an enthusiastic junior prospect with exceptional math skills’. Another respondent commented that the use of AI was inevitable but likely to be abused in the creative sector in the same way ‘as steroids are to the fitness industry’.
Miguel Sabel, global head of strategy and sustainability at Designit, said: ‘For many designers and creatives, the job is part and parcel of their
wider identity, so the suspicion towards AI that our poll revealed is understandable.
‘But playing it too safe means lagging behind. The notion that using a new technology to your advantage is disingenuous in some way misses the point that fundamentally, what people care about is the portrait you painted - in our world, the product or experience you created and the impact it has - rather than the brushes you used to paint it. It’s all about knowing where and when to apply new technology, which is especially true if it can inspire creativity - but it's the end result and its externalities what counts."

Legal opinion on sustainability in company accounts
On March 21, 2023, Social Value International (SVI) and Social Value UK (SVUK) held a roundtable with business networks and legal experts to discuss a legal opinion from barrister George Bompas KC. Participants learned from Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, which highlighted its climate change impact in its financial statements.
The legal opinion emphasizes that directors and auditors have a duty to consider sustainability-related issues in financial reports. It clarifies the relationship between the “true and fair” requirement and accounting standards, addressing asset impairment and obligations from previous activities.
Notable attendees included former Bank of England Governor Mervyn King, who stressed the importance of integrated reporting. He stated, “The financial and non-financial assets of a company are integrated 24/7. Reporting them separately is unrealistic. The board should provide an integrated report in clear language.”
Staffordshire Chambers has led in disclosing its climate impact, estimating the social cost of its carbon usage in its accounts. Following the discussions, SVI and SVUK announced plans to raise awareness of the legal opinion and develop guidance for directors on integrating sustainability into financial statements.
Jenni Ramos from the Commonwealth Climate and Law Initiative noted that this opinion could significantly impact biodiversity, urging companies to incorporate sustainability for a “true and fair view” of their financial position.
SVI and SVUK aim to transform value accounting and will collaborate with international partners to explore sustainability implications in financial reporting across six jurisdictions, including Canada and Germany.

Why is leadership development such big business?
The immense size and value of the leadership development industry is the result of numerous factors.
Almost all industries have undergone immeasurable change over the past few years, and leadership development has become an integral part of enabling businesses to adapt rapidly to these changing markets, from digital transformation through to workplace equality.
Leadership development also plays a central role in both attracting and retaining top talent – providing employees with opportunities to enhance their skills and further their qualifications has become highly attractive and can be the difference between securing the best people and losing them to competitors.
Leadership development is also central to enabling people to grow into successful leaders, innovate in both the conception and execution of ideas, improve decision making, and manage long-term strategic plans more effectively, all of which ultimately results in a stronger performance from the business itself.
