LSIS-iG5A designed for maximum reliability and longevity

December 2016 Motion Control & Drives

The now famous iG5A in the well known LSIS range of drives was launched in late 2003 and is the successor to the LG-iG5, which was launched in the mid 1990s.

In striving to keep up with the demands for usability, the LSIS-iG5A has enjoyed plenty of attention by having constant updates and upgrades to its firmware and hardware, while keeping its user-friendly interface and design intact. In 2016, it enjoyed a full hardware upgrade with added firmware features.

Among other things, the iG5A has input and output phase protection, sensorless vector control, built-in PID control and DBU circuit, as well as RS-485 for field devices such as PLCs and HMIs.

Through word of mouth and experience, the LSIS-iG5A has proved to be one of the favoured drives in the market that delivers as designed performance at a price that keeps the accountants smiling.
