The simplest and safest way to commission GPC Advanced
Power Controllers, after connecting the 24 Vdc power sup-
ply and a PC to the CPU, is to use the GF_eXpress software
and its “SMART CONFIGURATION” function.
Through the “SMART CONFIGURATION” wizard menu, a
safe working recipe can be created to test the controller
and its load in just a few minutes, by answering some sim-
ple questions about the application.
