Smart & Compact - The World’s Smallest Class, Top Performance Drive
Based on the concepts of versatility, ease of use, and stability, the GA500 new drive series was created to be the smallest in its class, provide innovative permanent magnet motor control and ensure continual operation of customer machinery and equipment.
Backed by leading performance in the compact model class, the GA500 can help customer machinery and equipment achieve unprecedented evolution.
The GA500 uses Yaskawa's unique sensorless PM motor control technology to detect the magnetic pole position of the PM motor and operates at an output of zero speed/100% torque.
Achieving high-speed operation with a maximum output frequency of 590 Hz*2 with induction motors and PM motors, machines can be made more compact and efficient as gears and belts do not need to be used with motors.
*1: According to Yaskawa's research (as of September 2018)
*2: Output frequency is 590 Hz after review of Export Control Order.
The GA500 helps users build machinery and production lines for continuous operation. The drive detects and informs users about unusual operations in machinery and equipment.
The GA500 monitors deterioration of built-in, limited lifetime service parts in real time and notifies users about replacement timing.
The GA500 prevents the phenomenon of a reduction in the magnetic force (irreversible demagnetization), which requires replacement with a PM motor, and helps reduce downtime.

*Communication options required
Monitored data (current, power consumption, torque, etc.) from the drive can be stored to a microSD card at high speed to be used in for detailed data analysis and investigation of factors when a problem occurs.
The network protocol for industrial use has been converted to RS-485 to enable control of up to five drives from a single communication option.
Easy tuning can be performed even on motors manufactured overseas and motors without information on performance or status with connected machinery to ensure high-performance driving.
Easily Switch between Voltage and Current
Controllers with 24-V Common Method Supported
You can switch between the Sinking mode (NPN) and Sourcing mode (PNP) on the multifunction digital input terminals and between internal and external power supply.
Wiring Reduction
Virtual I/O function can reduce external wiring. This function virtually wires the I/O terminal of the drive internally without actual wires.
Use of European Terminals for Easy Wiring
Significant reduction in work hours because crimp terminal and crimping operation are now obsolete.
By installing an LED keypad on the surface of the control panel, you can operate and monitor the drive installed inside the panel without having to open a door.
*1: Requires compact Keypad Panel Mounting Kit (optional)
You can perform recovery work and confirm malfunctions without applying main circuit power.
There is no need to reprogram and rewire the replacement drive in the event of failure. Simply replace the control board to instantly and securely replace the drive. You can select various parameter backup methods.
