Hi,

If you don't want to or can't use Modbus, you could use a DC-03 DigiSpeed 
(that I sell).
http://www.homanndesigns.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=21

It accepts a PWM waveform where the duty cycle is converted into an analog 
control voltage hat replaces the potentiometer that controls the VFD speed.

Cheers,

Peter

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing 
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
