I am in the final stages of setting up a VFD which I am using to operated a bead roller machine that I have built.

I chose a Folinn BD600 VFD unit which was based on there being a local supplier and the unit appearing most compatible with the 3 phase supply I had available to me. I have since discovered my supplier and manufacturer are far from committed to offering any tech help once the unit has been purchased.
I have attached a copy of the manual provided with my VFD purchase.
Presently, I have my machine completed mechanically and wired electrically to the point where my VFD is mounted and wired with ac power to the motor and programmed to motor parameters and I have set a speed range which I am happy with and that stuff all works.
Remembering I am not any where close to being any kind of electronics person little lone an expert so I don't speak your language mostly.
I have setup my machine with a simple single circuit to include a stop/start foot pedal, a emergency stop switch and a forward/reverse switch remotely from the VFD control box.
I have also attached a pic of this circuit, my VFD and switches location and a face view of my Folinn VFD unit which I hope will help anybody willing to assist me better by being able to visualise what I have.
Going by my simple circuit, I would like to have my previously mentioned switches operate remotely from the VFD.
I have 3 wires that I have concluded need to be connected back to the VFD multifunction panel which denoted connect points S1 thru to S6 which can be found on P15, P18 & P37 (programing) of my manual.
In my naivety, I had thought that by connecting to S1 and S6 with my common wire connected to the DCM it would result in a circuit that once programmed by S1 - F05.00 to setting 1 for forward run and S6 - F05.05 to setting 2 reverse run, once I chose to select forward or reverse via my switch dial and hit the start on my foot pedal I would see a response, but no action.
All my settings still remain operable from the face of the VFD and not remotely.
What am I doing wrong or what am I missing since I lack any electronic/programming instincts to tell where I have gone wrong...
I know I must be close but how close maybe you guys can tell me.
If I am on the wrong forum with this request please let me know.
Many thanks,
Russ.
