Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Collector
Collector
MODBUS automation for dust collectors running on a variable frequency drive.
The VFD Collector talks directly to any variable-frequency-drive-powered dust collector over MODBUS. When a GRIT Trigger fires, the Hub tells the VFD Collector to start, stop, or ramp the drive — giving industrial dust collection systems full automation without touching the drive's programming.
Key Features
- MODBUS terminal: Removable connector for direct drive communication
- Low-voltage input: 6V-24V power via removable terminal
- Drive-agnostic: Works with common VFD makes over standard MODBUS
- VHB mounting: Sticks inside the drive enclosure or nearby panel
- Status LED: Red/green indicator shows idle or running

Compatibility
For any industrial dust collection system running on a variable frequency drive with MODBUS RTU. Contact GRIT with your VFD model before ordering if you're not sure it's supported.
Installation
Mount the device inside or near the drive enclosure, land the MODBUS leads on the drive's communication terminals, supply 6V-24V DC to the power terminal, and pair with the Hub. We recommend a licensed electrician for work inside a VFD enclosure.
*GRIT Hub is required for device functionality.
Important Notes
Professional installation recommended. Systems with GRIT Track require a software upgrade (+20%) — contact us before ordering so we can configure your devices.
