AC Microdrives for Industrial Applications
More than 100 years of experience in automation field has led Yaskawa to develop products which perfectly combine technical superiority with easy handling. The latest result of this evolution is the new GA500 microdrive. Compact in size and flexible in terms of motor type and connectivity they are designed to easily master nearly any application.
One drive for various applications
Simplify System Integration
• By combining Network support, application focused features and great customizability with unparalleled ease of use the GA500 minimizes efforts to get your automation jobs done.
• Integrated features like PLC functionality, EMC filters, braking choppers, 24 Vdc Power supply for external sensors or the Safe Torque Off circuit with SIL3/Ple eliminate external devices. By a lower number of parts and reduced space system design is simplified while cost efficiency and system reliability increase.
Effortless Network Integration
GA500 drives support all the major industrial communications and connection topologies to adapt to various factory automation networks. Tested and verified function blocks allow fast and hassle-free network implementation.
Cost savings with built-in protocols
• RS-485 MEMOBUS/Modbus protocol
• 115.2 kbps communication speeds
Fast and Easy Setup
The DriveWizard® mobile and the Manuals App turn your smart phone or tablet into a versatile and indispensable toolbox for GA500 drives.
From simple parameter editing through Setup Wizard with an 8 channel fully featured oscilloscope, it provides all tools needed for setup, monitoring and process optimization.
Easy Customization
DriveWorksEZ® offers an icon-based, drag-n-drop graphical environment to add programmable functions that can tailor the drive to meet various machine and application requirements without the cost of external controllers, such as PLCs or additional controller hardware options.
