I just replaced an old single speed pump that died, with a 2.7HP Jandy VS E-Pump. I have a Jandy Aqualink RS panel, (8 years old). The new pump has a RS-485 control cable that is currently wired to a separate iQPUMP01 controller. But I believe that the RS-485 control line should be able to wire directly to the Aqualink RS panel somewhere. Right now, there is a PDA transceiver J-box that is wired where I think the RS-485 connections are. Is this the correct place for the pump controller to be wired? can it be wired directly to the same connector? I had a technician come over today (from the place where I bought the new pump), but he didn't seem to have a clue.

Yes same place. You can have 2 devices in each 4 wire connector. If you are out of positions you'll need to get the multiplexer board. It's on Amazon.
This video I put together should help.

You are showing the hookup of a Jandy one touch controller. I did wire up the motor RS485 connections directly to the RS485 connector in the Aqualink RS control box, and the pump operates like a single speed motor. It comes on at the times I have programmed in the PDA. What I am trying to figure out is, can I actually program the VS pump to run at different speeds during the day, using the PDA and Aqualink RS? Or do I have to buy a completely different interface before I can do that? When I look at the programing menu in the PDA, I see under System setup, where I can program a variable speed pump (model, application, min/max settings). Once I set up pump1, I can then see, under the program menu, VSP1 SPD PGM. But I'm not sure where to go from there. And I'm not sure if that is where I should be able to set up different speed programs.
What I am hoping to be able to do, is to set the pump to come on at 5AM at full speed, (while the spa cycles for an hour, then the cleaner runs for 2 hours). And then have the pump reduce speed to 50% for the rest of the day, then shut off at 5PM. That's the goal, at a minimum. Is this possible? Thanks for any help!

Right ok that video is to show you how to connect the RS485 cable. It sounds like you were 90% there. At that point you just need to program the schedule for the speeds you want. Like mine below.
