{"id":"automationdirect-gs23-27p5","model_id":"GS23-27P5","name":"AutomationDirect GS23-27P5","summary":"The GS23-27P5 is a DURApulse GS20 series general purpose AC variable frequency drive in an enclosed D-frame housing. It operates from a 230 VAC supply, delivering 7-1/2 hp with three-phase input or 3-1/2 hp with single-phase input, and drives three-phase induction or permanent magnet AC motors using SVC, V/Hz, FOC or torque control. Setup and monitoring are done through analog and discrete I/O, an RS-485 port running Modbus RTU/ASCII, and a USB B port.","study_notes":["Control modes: SVC, V/Hz, FOC or torque.","Horsepower depends on input phase: 7-1/2 hp with 3-phase input, 3-1/2 hp with 1-phase input.","Amperage rating 25 A with 3-phase input and 12.5 A with 1-phase input; 27 A variable torque rating.","Output frequency range 0.1–599 Hz; carrier frequency range 2–15 kHz.","Discrete I/O: 7 inputs at 24 VDC (sinking/sourcing) and 3 outputs at 240 VAC / 48 VDC (relay/sinking/sourcing, one Form C SPDT relay); load current 3 A/point relay, 50 mA/point discrete.","Analog I/O: 2 input channels (0–20 mA / 4–20 mA, ±10 VDC, 10-bit and 12-bit) and 1 output channel (0–20 mA / 4–20 mA, 0–10 VDC, 10-bit).","Communication ports: one RS-485 (RJ45) and one USB B, up to 115.2k baud.","Optional EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP card available.","Integrated dynamic braking; no integrated EMI filter; not internally bypassed.","Spring clamp terminals; panel or wall mounting.","Ladder programming supported with GSLOGIC drive PLC software and GSOFT2 configuration software.","Shipping weight stated as 5.6 lb; intended for 3-phase induction and permanent magnet AC motors."],"safety_notes":["Safe Torque Off (STO) is built-in.","A user-supplied external fuse is required.","Agency approvals: UL Listed File # E198015, CE declaration and RoHS status Yes; no UL Recognized, UL Hazardous or CSA file numbers listed."],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.automationdirect.com/adc/shopping/catalog/drives_-a-_soft_starters/ac_variable_frequency_drives_(vfd)/general_purpose_vfds/gs23-27p5","title":"DURApulse AC General Purpose Drive: 230 VAC, 7-1/2hp with 3-phase input, 3-1/2hp with 1-phase input, (VFD) (PN# GS23-27P5) | AutomationDirect","accessed":"2026-10-26"},{"url":"https://cdn.automationdirect.com/static/specs/cutsheet/GS23-27P5_cutsheet.pdf","title":"GS23 27P5 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":"D","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-gs23-27p5","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
