For example, in some equipment that requires low-speed and high-precision operation of the motor, the output frequency can be precisely adjusted to a lower value; In devices that require high rotational speed, the frequency can be increased to a higher level.

Power factor: This driver has a high power factor, usually above 0.95. High power factor means that during the operation of the motor, the driver can more effectively utilize the power grid, reduce reactive power loss, lower the electricity cost of the enterprise, and also help improve the power supply quality of the grid.

（2） Mechanical parameters

Size: As mentioned earlier, its external dimensions are designed to be compact, measuring [L1] mm in length, [L2] mm in width, and [L3] mm in height. This size makes it easy to install inside equipment with limited space such as control cabinets and distribution boxes, effectively saving installation space for industrial equipment and optimizing system layout.

Weight: Approximately [W1] kg, which ensures the stability of the equipment and does not impose excessive burden on installation and handling. During the installation and maintenance of the equipment, staff can easily operate it, improving work efficiency.

Protection level: The protection level reaches IP [P1], which can effectively prevent dust from entering the interior of the drive, and also has the ability to protect against a certain degree of water splashing. This enables GCC960C102 to operate normally in complex industrial environments such as dusty and humid environments, such as textile workshops and food processing plants, greatly improving the product's environmental adaptability and reliability.

（3） Communication parameters

Communication protocol support: Supports multiple common industrial communication protocols, such as Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP protocols. Through these communication protocols, GCC960C102 can communicate and connect with different brands and models of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), smart meters, upper computers, and other devices to achieve data exchange and collaborative control. In a typical industrial automation system, the driver can receive control instructions sent by the PLC through the Modbus protocol, such as commands for starting, stopping, and speed adjustment of the motor. At the same time, the operating status data of the motor, such as current, speed, fault information, etc., is fed back to the PLC, so that the operator can grasp the real-time operation of the equipment.

Interface type: Equipped with RS-485 interface and Ethernet interface. The RS-485 interface has strong anti-interference ability and a long transmission distance. In the complex electromagnetic environment of industrial sites, it can stably transmit data and can connect up to multiple node devices, achieving distributed control. The Ethernet interface provides high-speed data transmission capability, which can meet the communication needs of large data volumes and high real-time requirements. For example, in smart factories, a large amount of equipment status data needs to be quickly uploaded to the management system, and control instructions need to be issued to the drivers in a timely manner. Ethernet interfaces can meet these requirements well, ensuring the efficient operation of the system.

Core functions

Precise control of motor: Through advanced control algorithms and hardware circuits, GCC960C102 can achieve precise control of motor speed, torque, and steering. In terms of speed control, the speed accuracy can reach ± 0.1%, which can meet the extremely high requirements for speed accuracy in industrial applications, such as motor drive in precision machining equipment. In terms of torque control, the output torque can be adjusted in real time according to changes in motor load, and the torque control accuracy can reach ± 1%, ensuring that the motor can operate stably under different working conditions. At the same time, quick switching of motor direction can be achieved through simple control instructions to meet the requirements of different working modes of the equipment.

Rich protection functions: To ensure the safe operation of the motor and driver, GCC960C102 has multiple protection functions. The overcurrent protection function can quickly cut off the output current when the motor is overloaded or short circuited, preventing the motor and driver from being damaged due to excessive current. The overvoltage protection function can automatically take protective measures when the input voltage is too high, avoiding internal electronic components from burning out due to excessive voltage. The undervoltage protection function can stop the driver from working when the voltage is too low, preventing the motor from malfunctioning due to insufficient voltage, and also protecting the hardware of the driver. In addition, it also has an overheat protection function. When the internal temperature of the driver is too high, it will automatically reduce the output power or stop working to prevent component overheating and damage, and automatically resume operation after the temperature returns to normal.

Data monitoring and feedback: Equipped with powerful data monitoring functions, it can collect real-time operational data of motors, such as current, voltage, speed, temperature, etc. On the one hand, these data can be uploaded in real-time to the control system through a communication interface, providing operators with equipment operation status information and facilitating timely understanding of equipment working conditions; On the other hand, closed-loop feedback is used for motor control. For example, when the actual speed of the motor deviates from the preset speed, the driver automatically adjusts the output voltage or frequency based on the collected speed data to quickly restore the motor speed to the set value, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the motor operation. Through long-term monitoring and analysis of motor operation data, preventive maintenance of equipment can also be achieved, potential fault hazards can be detected in advance, equipment failure rates can be reduced, and production efficiency can be improved.

Flexible parameter settings: Users can flexibly set various parameters based on actual application needs through the driver's operation panel or upper computer software. Basic parameters such as rated power, rated voltage, and rated current of the motor can be set, and advanced parameters such as control mode, acceleration and deceleration time, and torque compensation can also be adjusted. This flexible parameter setting function enables GCC960C102 to adapt to different types of motors and complex industrial application scenarios, meeting the diverse control needs of users. For example, in fan applications, appropriate acceleration and deceleration time and torque compensation parameters can be set according to the characteristic curve of the fan to achieve efficient and smooth operation of the fan; In the application of water pumps, the control mode can be adjusted according to the working requirements of the water pump to optimize its operational performance.
