As far as i know , the PLC sends AO signal from its AO contact to the VFD' AI contact for the speed reference. the PLC also send a DO signal from its DO contact to the VFD' DI contact for the run command. the PLC behaves a master to the VFD Other than these things what other else things a PLC control of the VFD ?
