Drive Feedback
Many feeder drives (i.e. VFD, PWM, SCR) have extra digital outputs that can help
diagnose drive related problems. By enabling the Genetix “Drive Feedback”
feature, additional GCM inputs and outputs are turned on that can be used to
improve overall feeder diagnostics by including drive diagnostics. See below for
the menu of settings and parameters and descriptions of the I/O functionality.
