DURApulse GS21-23P0 VFD?

[IPGregory]

Is 'S14983 ACORN_rev4, GENERIC VFD' the best sheet to follow to setup this VFD with an Acorn 4 or is there a better one?

Did you get your VFD going?
Most VFD's are typically wired. The generic schematic should get you going in the right direction.
Just pay attention to programming the Parameters in the VFD.

If you still need help, post a link to the VFD manual and let us know what you have having trouble with

Hi Marty, it's on order, I don't have it in hand yet. Wanted to make sure I had the most applicable sheet ready for when I get it on the bench.

I will be following this thread with interest. I plan on ordering my Acorn next week and will be using the same VFD on my build.

When one of you get your VFD's up and running, please edit a Generic VFD schematic and provide the parameters you used. We can ask Centroid to make a schematic with a parameter list for that particular VFD.

Good idea. I will update once I have it running. Might be a while though.

I have not looked closely, but it looks like there is already a schematic for the Allin1DC and the oak for the GS20 drives. That might provide a good jumping off point when it comes time to wire the acorn. I will be happy to share whatever I come up with when its time to set mine up.

Of interest, the GS20 VFDs look like they are made by Delta, they looks identical to the MS300 series delta drives.

Yeah, I think the DURApulse is an Automation Direct rebranded Delta. When I looked the only difference I saw was the Delta is available in a 600 and 1600hz version, whereas the DURApulse is only available in a 600hz. I only need 400Hz, the DURApulse was cheaper and in stock so I went this way.

Good find on the Allin1DC sheets. Certainly a good starting place. Thanks.
