Item # GSD8-240-5C, IronHorse® GSD8 Series Direct Current (DC) Drive

The GSD8 series DC drives are compact, microprocessor-based motor controllers capable of factory or field configurations for a variety of industrial applications. GSD8 DC drives make use of either a pulse accumulation algorithm (GDS8-240-5C) or a velocity PID algorithm (all other GSD8 drives) that can be easily configured for operation as a speed controller, time-based process controller, or follower drive in a master-follower application.

Additional Information
DC motors and drives can provide several advantages and benefits over AC:
  • Inexpensive
  • Low speed performance
  • Low speed power
  • Simple
    • our DC drives typically use potentiometers for configuration
    • no parameters or programming needed
