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
I know it is dumb question but what is IMO

Can you be more specific? What terminology are you referring to. I can't help if I don't have complete information. I used terminology from the manual for your VFD and lathe.

In looking at the VFD conversion document Ed posted for you, the original lathe start and stop switches are used with the lathe contactor to provide the line power to the VFD so the wiring of those switches won't change. That is how I set up my lathe as well. The forward / reverse switch connections, as well as the potentiometer connections are shown in the schematic in the VFD manual. Setting the parameters in the VFD to get it all to work correctly is a whole nuther can o worms.

I am getting the wiring somewhat but the direction switch on the lathe has mumerous contacts and wiring and the schematic just shows DI1 and DI2 sorry for the ignorance THX for time and help

I'm afraid I can't offer a simple solution other than to hire an electrician. With a multiple pole - multiple throw switch like that it takes a lot of time to map out the switch contacts with an ohmmeter since Grizzly doesn't supply a table for that.
p.s.
A tip for when you are replying to a post:
Start typing your reply after the last quote tag, not before it. Instead of this:

{/quote}
Start typing below the last quote tag like this:

It's no big deal. It will just make it easier to find your text if it's not mixed in with a previous quote.
RE: Grizzly G0602 VFD conversion - EdK - 01-23-2018
You still haven't answered my question as to what terminology does not correspond with the GS2-11PO VFD. Doesn't matter though because I would not recommend you tackle this project. Get someone with some electronics background to help you. This isn't a trivial project if you don't have any electronics knowledge.

well I have some electrical skills but it is confusing when the diagram shows 2 circuits and the original switch has like 10 wires so I guess the 2 wires reverse internally but I just do not know what signal they work off of well I ordered everything not thinking and I live in a small town so I guess I will have to experiment and not burn up
RE: Grizzly G0602 VFD conversion - arvidj - 01-23-2018
At this point I'll ask a really dumb question. All of the responses have assumed that a 3 phase motor has been\will be acquired for and installed on the G0602. However I have not seen this 'stated as fact' in the thread.
sun20ma, is that an accurate assumption or was it your intent to use the VFD with the original G0602 motor?

NO,NO it is a 3phase Leeson 192051 and a 53c35k Pot and the GS2-11po VFD
