GA500 - Balancing power
to perfection
Cost-savings through
optimized application Efficiency
Secure operation
GA500 drives are built to perform reliably. The
robust design featuring coated PCBs allows op-
eration in 50 °C without derating, while machine
monitoring functions and an integrated service
life time prediction prevent sudden failures. The
GA500 thus effectively secures operation and
prevents production losses.
Setup wizard
The Setup Wizard reduces the setup time
to just a couple of minutes. It guides the
user through the basic setup using simple
questions which do not require any knowl-
edge of drive parameters, thus saving
valuable time.
Effortless
network integration
GA500 drives support all the major industrial communications and connection
topologies for adaptation to a variety of factory automation networks.
Tested and verified function blocks allow fast and hassle-free network
implementation.

Flexible installation
solutions
Regardless of whether you put the drive in a control cabinet, on a wall,
in a clean environment, or in a harsh one, the flexible package design of
the GA500 enables a reliable operation under a variety of environmental
conditions.
Reduced air flow inside the panel additionally contributes to lower contamination
by dust and prolongs service intervals.
Finless drives
The GA500 Finless type is made to be mounted on external heat sinks, water External heatsink mounting
coolers or any other type of heat spreader. This great flexibility widens freedom
for machine designers and provides ways for perfect integration with a variety of
machine cooling concepts.
Side-by-Side mounting
The GA500 can be mounted side-by-side with bottom
entry wiring to reduce cabinet size.

Built-in options
The GA500 is available both with and without an embed-
ded EMC filter. Both versions share the same footprint
and differ only in depth.

Vibration resistant
GA500 drives can be supplied with an option for higher vibration resistance. With
this the benefits of GA500 can be utilized even in mobile or other applications with
high occurrence of vibration without sacrificing reliability.
