  • Control mode selectable between SVC, V/Hz, FOC or torque; reverse capability is built in.
  • Onboard I/O: 7 discrete inputs at 24 VDC (sinking/sourcing), 3 discrete outputs including one Form C (SPDT) relay, 2 analog inputs (±10 VDC, 0–20 mA / 4–20 mA), 1 analog output (0–10 VDC).
  • Communication ports are (1) RS-485 on RJ45 and (1) USB B; Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII slave protocols, up to 115.2k baud.
  • An EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP communication card is optional, not built in.
  • Programming language is ladder; GSLOGIC drive PLC software and GSOFT2 configuration software are listed.
  • No integrated EMI filter and not internally bypassed.
  • Document lists a 3.55 lb item shipping weight; net product weight is not given.

Safety
