Configuration Devices and Cables

• GS-KPD - Spare keypad for GS2 series drives. Can use either the 1 meter, 3 meter or 5 meter cable.
  
  
• GS3-KPD - The standard smart keypad (a.k.a. HIM or Human Interface Module) for the DURApulse series drives allows you to configure the drive, set the speed, start and stop the drive, and monitor critical parameters for your application. In addition, this keypad has internal memory that allows four complete programs to be stored and transferred to any DURApulse AC Drive. Can use either the 1 meter, 3 meter or 5 meter cable.
  
  
• GS-CBL2-1L - 1 meter keypad cable (installation screws included)
  
  
• GS-CBL2-3L - 3 meter keypad cable (installation screws included)
  
  
• GS-CBL2-5L - 5 meter keypad cable (installation screws included)
  
  
• GS-232CBL - RS232 PC programming cable, 3 meter, for GS2 series drives. (NOTE: GS1 and DURAPulse series drives require an RS232 to RS485 converter (part number FA-ISOCON))

Communication Options

Ethernet Drive Module (GS-EDRV)

• It mounts on DIN rail and connects a drive to an Ethernet hub or PC. The GS-EDRV processes signals to and from the drive.
  
  
• It formats the signals to conform with the Ethernet standard to the H2-ERM or H4-ERM, KEPdirect EBC I/O server, or Independent controller with a MODBUS TCP/IP driver. This allows for great connectivity to many control system architectures.
  
  
• An additional feature is the built-in Web browser which allows users to configure and control the drive from any Web browser via the IP address of the GS-EDRV card.
  
  
• The GS series drives do have a provision for shutting down control or power to the inverter in the event of a communications timeout. This can be set up through the drive parameter group 9.

DURApulse (GS3 Series) Drive Accessories

• GS3-FB - This feedback card is used to add another layer of precision control to the already precise control algorithm used in the DURApulse drives. This added control is activated by selecting control modes V/Hz closed loop control or sensorless vector with external feedback. The feedback mechanism uses pulses generated by an external encoder or pulse generator. Unlike other feedback types, the GS3-FB accommodates the four most common signal types: output, voltage, open collector, line driver, and complementary.
  
  
• Remote Panel Adapter (GS3-BZL) - The GS3-BZL has a protected chassis, IP20 enclosure rating. The thickness of the panel will determine required screw hole dimensions.
  
  
• RF Filter (RF220X00A) - Zero phase reactors, (a.k.a. RF noise filters), help reduce radiated noise from the inverter wiring. RF filters reduce the radio frequency interference or noise on the input or output side of the inverter.
