Yaskawa GA501 AC micro drive, 0.12–30 kW, built-in Ethernet, STO SIL3

The Yaskawa GA501 is a compact industrial micro drive for typical speed control tasks. Built-in dual-port Ethernet supports EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP/IP, EtherCAT, BACnet/IP and MECHATROLINK-4, so no separate network option card is needed.

Sensorless vector control for induction, permanent magnet and synchronous reluctance motors. Functional safety Safe Torque Off: SIL3 (IEC 62061) and PLe (ISO 13849-1). Conformal coated boards, DIN rail mounting up to 7.5 HP, programming without main power, tool-less fan replacement.

Stated MTBF is 28 years, SCCR 100 kA. Common parameter logic with other Yaskawa drives, setup via DriveWizard Industrial and a mobile app.

Key features:

• Networking without option cards — lower assembly cost and installation time
• One drive for IM, PM and SynRM motors
• STO as standard, no external safety relay for a simple stop
• Common programming environment with the whole Yaskawa range
