Ethernet Interface GS-EDRV(xxx)
GS-EDRV(xxx) Ethernet Interfaces provide low-cost, high-performance Ethernet
links between control systems and any DURA
PULSE or other GS-series AC Drives.
With the appropriate cable connections and, if needed, Ethernet switches or hubs,
the GS-EDRV(xxx) allows you to communicate with your AC drives over qualified
Ethernet networks.
The control systems can be any of the following:
• DL205 CPU, DL405 CPU, or a WinPLC, with the appropriate Ethernet Remote
Master module (H2-ERM or H4-ERM).
• A Productivity3000 CPU using the onboard Ethernet port.
• A PC running Entivity’s ThinknDo software, a PC using a custom device driver that
was developed using our Ethernet SDK, or a PC running KEPDirect EBC or OPC
Server.
• Any independent I/O controller with a Modbus TCP/IP driver.
The control function is performed by one of the control systems mentioned above.
The I/O mapping function is performed by an H2(4)-ERM module (purchased
separately). The H2(4)-ERM module is configured with the ERM Workbench
Utility which is part of the DirectSOFT PLC programming software.
The functions of the GS-EDRV(xxx) interface are as follows:
• process input signals from the AC drive.
• format these signals to conform to the Ethernet standard.
• transmit converted signals to the control system.
• receive and translate output signals from the control system.
• distribute the output signals to the appropriate drive.
• DIN-rail mounting.
• built-in web browser allows users to configure and control the drive from any web
browser via the IP address of the GS-EDRV(xxx).
Refer to the “GS Series AC Drive Ethernet Interface User Manual” or www.AutomationDirect.com
for detailed information.
The GS series drives have a provision for shutting down control or power to the drive in
the event of a communications time-out. This function can be set up through the drive
parameter group 9.
The GS-EDRV(xxx) requires an external 24 VDC power supply.
