AutomationDirect GS4-2100

The GS4-2100 is a DURApulse GS4 series open-frame AC variable frequency drive rated for 230 VAC input. It delivers 100 hp with a 3-phase input or 25 hp with a 1-phase input, and runs 3-phase induction motors in either sensorless vector control (SVC) or V/Hz mode. Setup and monitoring are done from an attached keypad, and the drive provides an RS-485 port plus discrete and analog I/O for control signals.

Study notes

  • Control modes are SVC or V/Hz; carrier frequency range is 2–15 kHz and output frequency range is 0.1–599 Hz.
  • Amperage rating is 242 A with 3-phase input and 75 A with 1-phase input; variable torque amperage rating is 255 A.
  • Communication is one RS-485 port on an RJ12 connector running Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII or BACnet at up to 115.2k baud.
  • EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP are only available through optional cards, not built in.
  • I/O: 8 discrete inputs at 24 VDC (sinking/sourcing), 4 discrete outputs including 2 Form C (SPDT) relays, 3 analog inputs (11-bit resolution, 0–20 mA / 4–20 mA or +/-10 VDC) and 2 analog outputs (10-bit, 0–20 mA / 4–20 mA or 0–10 VDC).
  • An embedded PLC is programmable in ladder (GSLogic software); connector type is screw terminals.
  • Horsepower rating depends on input phases: 100 hp with 3-phase input, 25 hp with 1-phase input.
  • Enclosure is open frame for wall mounting, frame size E; the stated IP rating covers both IP00 and IP20.
  • Item shipping weight is 156 lb.
  • Intended for use with 3-phase induction motors; input signal can be 4–20 mA, voltage or potentiometer.

Safety

  • Safe Torque Off (STO) is built in.
  • An external dynamic braking unit is required.
  • A user-supplied external fuse is required.
  • Operating temperature range is -10 to +50 deg C.
