AutomationDirect, Cumming, GA, has announced availability of the IronHorse GSD8 series of DC drives. The products feature a microprocessor-based design with non-volatile memory storage that’s programmable with adjustable parameters, programmable alarm outputs and offers a digital closed-loop algorithm for motor control. GSD8 output power available is 1/2 to 1 hp at 120 VAC input and 1 to 2 hp at 240 VAC input; output voltage is 90 VDC (at 120 VAC) and 180 VDC (at 240 VAC). Maximum current ratings are 5A and 10A.
Drives in the GSD8 series are capable of factory or field configurations for a variety of industrial applications. They make use of either a pulse accumulation algorithm or a velocity PID algorithm that can be easily configured for operation as a speed controller, time-based process controller, or follower drive in a master-follower application. According to AutomationDirect, products in the GSD8 lineup are well suited for applications that require specialized I/O.
