  • Page 15: Basic Operating Instructions

    Basic Operating Instructions Control Algorithm Discussion GSD8-240-5C The GSD8-240-5C DC drive controls are based on a pulse-accumulation algorithm. The advantage of this algorithm is that it allows the GSD8 drive to follow a master process with exceptional accuracy. The GSD8 drive has three parameters which allow the user to adjust how tightly the GSD8 drive will control the motor to achieve the target speed.

  • Page 16: Master (Rate And Time) And Follower (Ratio) Modes Explained

    Test Procedure: Adjust the target (displayed) speed as expected during normal operation, including testing inhibit and jog transitions if applicable. Tuning Method: 1) Step 1 - Connect the GSD8 drive to the motor. For realistic tuning, insure that the motor is operating with the anticipated load for the application.
