So you want to wire it like the document I attached but using your VFD, correct?

Here you go sun20ma. If you have questions don't hesitate to ask. Do you have any experience with 120VAC wiring? If not, you should have someone that has experience help you with that part. The orange wires on the drawing are the AC voltage wiring.
Here's a link to a potentiometer for the speed control.

thanks again but most of the terminology does not correspond with the GS2-11PO VFD

For those needing a phase convertor I highly recommend Phase Craft. Sold on EBay by a builder in California. I'm very happy with my unit and have had it for about 5 years without any issues.

You are using this VFD correct? https://cdn.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/gs2m/ch2.pdf
Do you have the VFD wired to your power supply (breaker panel or electrical outlet) and the 3 phase motor yet?
IMO it's best to do that and make sure the motor operates properly with the VFD controls first, before tackling the remote wiring.
Is there a specific area with the wiring that is giving you problems?

I have most of the electrical parts but I have not started the install I just am not sure how to wire all the controls remotely I want to use the existing switches and add a 53c35k pot, machtach display with a GS2-11PO VFD and Leeson 192051 3ph
