  1. Will the DOP professional software work with the GS series of drives?
  2. How can I establish a minimum speed on the GS2?
  3. Can the GS1 drive perform dynamic braking?
  4. Can I use the MOP type terminal speed control with acceleration and deceleration times of less than 1 second? E.G. settings 14 and 15 for DI3-DI6 on GS2 and 14 and 15 for DI3 and DI4 on the GS1.
  5. Can I power the GS3 series drives from the D.C. Bus?
  6. My horsepower requirements fit either the GS2 or the Durapulse drive families, which is the best choice for me?
  7. Can I use these on electric vehicles?
  8. Is there a good way to do a master/follower with the VFDs?
  9. Do you have a cable to connect my GS2 drive to my DirectLogic or Click PLC?
  10. How can I set a higher maximum speed (RPM/frequency) than 60hz for the drive and motor ?
  11. Does the GS1 have Line Start Lockout feature like the GS3 ?
  12. Can the sinking type 4 - 20mA analog output of the Click PLC be used to provide a speed reference signal for the GS series drives?
  13. I get a duplicate function error when setting external source of speed.
  14. Can I feed a GS3 drive with single-phase 230volt input and power a 3-phase motor? Can I use a single high-leg 230 volt supply (one power leg at 230v and a neutral), which is common in Europe?
  15. Can I use a drive on a mill or lathe?
  16. My GS3 won't auto-start after a power outage ( or after a shift to generator power). What can I do to correct this?
