{"id":"automationdirect-gs23-20p5","model_id":"GS23-20P5","name":"AutomationDirect GS23-20P5","summary":"The GS23-20P5 is a DURApulse GS20 series enclosed general purpose AC variable frequency drive. It operates from a 230 VAC supply and provides 1/2 hp with a 3-phase input or 1/4 hp with a 1-phase input, using SVC, V/Hz, flux vector or torque control modes. It has an RS-485 port, integrated dynamic braking and built-in Safe Torque Off, and accepts an optional EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP card.","study_notes":["Control modes are sensorless vector control (SVC), V/Hz, field oriented control (FOC) and torque mode.","Carrier frequency range is 2–15 kHz; output frequency range is 0.1–599 Hz.","Serial communication is one RS-485 (RJ45) port plus one USB B port; port speed up to 115.2k baud as Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII slave.","EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP are not built in; they require an optional communication card.","I/O: 7 discrete inputs at 24 VDC (sinking/sourcing), 3 discrete outputs (relay/sinking/sourcing, 240 VAC and 48 VDC), 2 analog inputs (current/voltage, 10-bit and 12-bit) and 1 analog output (10-bit).","Analog input ranges are 0–20 mA, 4–20 mA and ±10 VDC; analog output ranges are 0–20 mA, 4–20 mA and 0–10 VDC.","Programming language is ladder logic (embedded drive PLC); terminals are spring clamp type.","Intended for 3-phase induction and permanent magnet AC motors; no integrated EMI filter; not internally bypassed.","AutomationDirect lists the item shipping weight as 2.45 lb.","Agency files listed: UL Listed E198015, CE, RoHS; no CSA file."],"safety_notes":["Safe Torque Off (STO) is built-in.","Enclosure rating is IP20, so the drive must be installed in an enclosure.","A user-supplied external fuse is required.","Operating temperature limit is -20 to +50 °C.","Reverse capability is built-in."],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.automationdirect.com/adc/shopping/catalog/drives_-a-_soft_starters/ac_variable_frequency_drives_(vfd)/general_purpose_vfds/gs23-20p5","title":"DURApulse AC General Purpose Drive: 230 VAC, 1/2hp with 3-phase input, 1/4hp with 1-phase input, (VFD) (PN# GS23-20P5) | AutomationDirect","accessed":"2026-10-26"},{"url":"https://cdn.automationdirect.com/static/specs/cutsheet/GS23-20P5_cutsheet.pdf","title":"GS23 20P5 cutsheet","accessed":"2026-10-26"}],"verification":{"status":"source_checked","checked_at":"2026-10-26","values":9,"method":"llm_source_check"},"updated_at":"2026-10-26","type":"hardware","spec":{"category":"vfd","manufacturer":"automationdirect","controllers":[],"supply_voltage":"230 VAC","frame_size":"A2","output_type":"PWM output","ip_rating":"IP20","operating_temp_min_c":-20,"operating_temp_max_c":50,"joints":[],"protocols":["modbus-rtu","modbus-ascii"],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/automationdirect-gs23-20p5","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
