Study notes

  • Control mode is SVC (sensorless vector control) or V/Hz.
  • Input and output are both three-phase at 460 VAC nominal.
  • Amperage rating is 143 A; variable torque amperage rating is 150 A.
  • RS-485 (RJ12) port runs Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII and BACnet at up to 115.2k baud.
  • BACnet is named in the document but has no matching protocol entry in this reference list.
  • Optional EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP cards are available; an EDS file and a Rockwell AOI are provided for the EtherNet/IP card.
  • Enclosure is open frame; IP ratings are stated as IP00 and IP20.
  • Output frequency range 0.1-599 Hz; carrier frequency range 2-15 kHz.
  • Analog I/O: 3 input channels (11-bit resolution) and 2 output channels (10-bit resolution).
  • Discrete I/O: 8 sinking/sourcing 24 VDC inputs and 4 relay/sinking/sourcing outputs (Form C SPDT relays).
  • Embedded PLC is programmed in ladder (GSLOGIC software); drive configuration uses GSOFT2.
  • Shipping weight is listed as 130 lb; agency compliance is UL Listed File E198015, CE and RoHS.

Safety

  • Safe Torque Off (STO) is built-in.
  • A user-supplied external fuse is required.
  • An external dynamic braking unit is required; the drive is not internally bypassed.
  • Operating temperature range is -10 to +50 °C.
  • The drive is open frame (IP00) construction.
  • Only 3-phase induction motors are listed as the intended load.
