Configuration Software
GSOFT, the configuration software for AutomationDirect�s GS Series variable frequency drives, allows a personal computer to be connected to either the GS1, GS2 or DURApulse series AC drives. You can perform a variety of functions using GSOFT, including:

Create new variable frequency drive configurations using Quick Start, Detailed or Schematic Views
Upload/ download drive configurations
Edit AC drive configuration
Archive/ store multiple drive configurations on your personal computer(PC)
Trend AC drive operational parameters
Tune the VFD drive PID loop
View AC drive faults
Print a schematic representation of the drive configurations

Complete GSOFT Overview

	Configuration Devices and Cables Spare keypads, keypad cables and other cables are available for the GS2 and DURApulse(GS3) series AC drives. These include: GS3-KPD - The standard smart keypad 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. This keypad has internal memory that allows four complete programs to be stored and transferred to any DURApulse AC Drive. GS-KPD - Spare keypad for GS2 series drives. Can use either the 1 meter, 3 meter or 5 meter cable GS-CBL2-xL - 1, 3 & 5 meter keypad cables (installation screws included) GS-232CBL - RS232 PC programming cable, 3 meter, for GS2 series AC drives. (GS1 Series and DURAPulse (GS3 series) variable frequency drives require an RS232 to RS485 converter (FA-ISOCON)) USB-485M - USB to RS-485 PC Adapter, convenient 2-wire USB to RS-485 serial communication adapter for universal RS-485 use (GS series AC drives - GSOFT configuration software, Modbus polling). GS/DURApulse Accessories Overview
	Communication Options Ethernet and RS485 communication capabilities are available for the GS Series / DURApulse drives. *New! ...* Ethernet Drive Module (GS-EDRV100) The GS-EDRV provides a high-performance Ethernet link between a control system and any GS or DURApulse AC drive. The GS-EDRV100 processes signals to and from the drive, mounts on 35mm DIN rail, and connects the drive to an Ethernet hub or PC. It formats drive signals to conform with the Ethernet standard and transmits these signals to the H2-ERM or H4-ERM, Productivity3000, KEPDirect OPC Server, KEPDirect EBC I/O Server, or independent controller with a Modbus TCP/IP driver. This allows for greater 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-EDRV100 module. The GS series drives have a provision for shutting down control or power to the inverter in the event of a communications time-out. GS Series/ DURApulse Ethernet Interface Overview
	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. DURApulse Feedback Card Overview
	ZipLink Pre-wired Modules and Connector Cables The ZIPLink system eliminates the normally tedious process of wiring terminal blocks. ZIPLinks use half the space, at a fraction of the total cost of terminal blocks. ZIPLink cables and modules are available in a variety of styles to suit your needs.
