There is a component for the delta VFD-b:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/man/man1/vfdb_vfd.1.html

i don't know if it will work with your VFD.

Thank you but I'm not sure of the hardware connection for that option? Would that be using the VFD's RS-485 interface and a sserial signal converter for the 7i76e?

thanks

yes rs485
typically I think you would use the rs232 port or USB port with a converter.
