AC micro drives offer outstanding performance and flexibility
Yaskawa says its GA500 variable speed drives set new standards in performance, helping users to simplify complex technologies by combining outstanding reliability, ease-of-use, power and adaptability. From drive selection, through design, installation, start-up, or trouble shooting, the design brief for GA500 micro drives has been clearly focused on making life easier.
Compact in size and highly flexible in terms of connectivity, the GA500 is designed to handle nearly any application and enables users to run any motor type from 0.2 up to 30kW. Key features and benefits include: integrated EMC filters, embedded dual channel safety (STO SIL3/PLe), one field-bus card to network five drives, the ability to meet all global standards along with safe, convenient set-up and monitoring, with apps for all mobile devices.
Other features include, a robust design enabling the drives to operate up to 4000m altitude and in hot environments up to 60ºC. Coated PCBs protect against dust and mist, while Integral temperature controlled fans run only when needed, so any potential for contamination is minimised while service intervals can be prolonged.
The bright LED display and tactile keypad ensures easy and intuitive navigation through menus, while the common menus and parameters are arranged and named as any other Yaskawa drive minimising the need for re-training. Also, an embedded programming environment for customising drive functions means scalability and the potential to replace the need for external controllers.
