GA700

AC drives for industrial applications

Yaskawa’s GA700 Series offers the best value proposition for industrial applications. The GA700 is the right choice with a compact, flexible, straightforward design by integrating and embedding key AC drive attributes focused on optimized installation and minimized start-up.

GA700 - Limitless possibilities

GA700 Yaskawa

Simplified system integration

GA700 drives are designed to be easily integrated into systems and machinery. Combining network support, application-focused features, and excellent customization options along with unparalleled ease of use, the GA700 minimizes the effort required to get your automation jobs done.

Fast installation and setup

GA700 drives incorporate a variety of features which eliminate the need for peripherals. Together with easy wiring plus smart functions for completing a basic setup in only in 5 minutes, this greatly reduces the time and expenses involved in having a running system.

Superior machine performance

By incorporating the latest motor control technologies for induction, permanent magnet, and synchronous reluctance motors, the GA700 drives provide superior control performance with minimized energy consumption.

Secure operation

GA700 drives are built to perform reliably. The robust design featuring coated PCBs allows operation in 50 °C without derating, while machine monitoring functions and an integrated service life time prediction prevent sudden failures. The GA700 thus effectively secures operation and prevents production losses.

LCD keypad

Improved usability

GA700 drives can be programmed and operated with a high-resolution graphical keypad. Support for 13 languages, a Setup Wizard, and the intuitive full text menu structure simplify drive setup and save valuable time.

  • Copy function for 4 sets of parameters
  • Data logging on Micro-SD card
  • Real-time clock
  • Available with Bluetooth for connecting a mobile device
  • Automatic backup function
  • Standard RJ45 cable connection

Effortless network integration

GA700 drives support all the major industrial communications and connection topologies (ring, star, line, etc.) to adapt to various factory automation networks. Reduce wiring when connecting to an upper level controller or PLC through available built-in protocols and/or dedicated communication options.

When powering the GA700 through the built-in 24 VDC control power input, network communication can be maintained even during main power loss, thus enabling continuous monitoring and faster startup on power recovery.

Up to five GA700 drives can be accessed through just one fieldbus option card, thus providing a cost effective solution with less wiring effort.

  • RS-485 MEMOBUS/Modbus protocol
  • 115.2 kbit/s communication speeds

One for all

The GA700 precisely controls induction motors, permanent magnet motors and synchronous reluctance motors providing versatility to run a variety of applications with just one drive. The times of complex motor set-up are over. With the new EZ vector mode, the GA700 can run all of these motor types without comprehensive tuning.

  • Tuning-less with EZ vector
  • Open/closed loop speed or torque
  • control
  • Induction/permanent magnet motors
  • 590 Hz max. output frequency
  • Zero speed control without encoder
  • Synchronous reluctance motor
  • control
  • Motor speed control range in closed loop mode of 1:1500
  • Automatic energy efficiency optimization function

By introducing motor speed control as a replacement of gears, valves or dampers the GA700 unlocks great energy saving potential in various applications. In addition, the GA700 automatically optimizes the motor efficiency for any speed and load condition and minimizes overall losses. GA700 lowers energy cost by running your application at maximum efficiency.

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 GA700 enables a reliable operation under a variety of environmental conditions.

The GA700 can be mounted side-by-side with bottom entry wiring to reduce cabinet size.
