The DV-300 is a 3-phase, six-pulse converter which is available in either non-regenerative or fully regenerative design. The DV-300 drive controller allows for precise regulation of motor speed, current, and field (field weakening and field economy are standard). This performance and chassis packaging allows the DV-300 to be applied easily in a wide array of industries including textiles, paper converting, plastics converting, corrugating, wire drawing, rubber and plastics, metal processing, machine tools, material handling, and more.

To allow for easy start-up, the DV-300 offers two choices: an optional keypad programmer or the standard GE toolbox. The Windows®-based GE toolbox enables the user to set parameters and program converter I/O and self-tune the regulators. Archiving the drive setup allows the user to have preconfigured setups available for similar applications. These are easily maintained and save valuable time.

The DV-300 drive can handle difficult applications and complex operations with the addition of the digital general function (DGF) card. The DGF card is an optional Intel® microprocessor-based board which allows application specific regulators, provides special sequencing operations, and solves other drive control challenges.

A wide range of advanced communication capabilities are available for the DV-300 drive. The drive communicates on a high-speed serial link including the following protocol options: DeviceNet™, Profibus-DP, Interbus-S, and Genius®. These communication options allow the drive, system control, and the data collection system to be easily integrated. Other options for the DV-300 include additional I/O, removable keypad programmer, and keypad door-mount kit.
