Change Summary
Gemini GT Hardware Installation Guide
Revision B
December 17, 1999
The following is a summary of the primary technical changes to this document
since the previous version was released.
This document, part number 88-017789-01B, supersedes 88-017789-01A.
DRFLVL Command Removed from Configuration Steps (page 21)
When you configure the drive, you no longer need to enter DRFLVLØ for the 6K
to read and react to a GT fault.
RFS Command Recommended in Reconfiguration (page 19)
If you are reconfiguring a drive that has already been configured, we recommend
that you first issue an RFS command (Return to Factory Settings) to the drive,
before you begin the configuration procedure on page 19.

8 Gemini GT Hardware Installation Guide
Gemini Products—Overview
The Gemini Series is a family of high performance digital drives. The family
contains drives for both stepper and servo motors. With many models and options
available, the user can choose the precise level of power and control for the
application’s motion requirements.
Gemini Product Descriptions
Gemini GT and GV
Gemini GT Stepper Drives and GV Servo Drives are the basic Gemini products.
They are controlled with standard command interfaces of step/direction or ±10V,
and can be used with standard indexers or controllers.
The drives are configured over RS-232/485 with either Motion Planner on a
personal computer (PC), or Pocket Motion Planner on a palm PC. Many advanced
features are standard in the drives, such as sensorless stall detect and ABS damp-
ing in the GT, and digital tuning and notch filters in the GV.
Gemini GT6 and GV6
The Gemini GT6 and GV6 are controller/drives available with several different
programming modes. These drives have basic motion control and sequencing
capabilities, and can be used in distributed control applications. By using optional
plug-in cards, they can be equipped with interfaces for SERCOS, Profibus,
Interbus-S, and other industry standard fieldbus networks.
The GT6 and GV6 are configured and programmed over RS-232/485, either with
Motion Planner on a PC, or Pocket Motion Planner on a palm PC.
GT6 or GV6 drives are also available with an optional SERCOS interface. These
drives can be configured via the acyclic channels of the motion bus, or via the RS-
232/485 port using the tools mentioned above.
Gemini GT6K and GV6K
The Gemini GT6K and GV6K are single axis packaged controller/drives that offer
full 6K Series controller functionality and programmability for complex distrib-
uted control applications. Key features include: complex program capabilities such
as math, variables, and logic control; flexible and expandable serial I/O modules;
and Ethernet compatibility for PC bus access. The user programs these devices
over an RS-232/485 communication port; a second port is available for use with a
full-time operator interface.
