Feature Overview
This document details differences between the GPD506/P5 and F7 product to assist in product transition and new product 
introduction. 
GPD506/P5 Drive
 
The GPD 506/P5 inverter is 
intended for fan and pump 
applications in Building and 
Industrial Automation. It is 
available in constant and 
variable torque ratings, 3/4 
to 500 horsepower. 
F7 Drive 
 
The F7 drive is positioned as the 
Industrial Workhorse. It is the 
best choice in a single drive 
format for every conventional 
industrial drive application in its 
horsepower range of ½ to 500 hp. 
It is dual rated to enable best 
choice for Normal (Variable 
Torque) machine loads and 
Heavy Duty (Constant torque) 
machine loads. 
F7 Benefits vs. P5
F7 Performance Improvements
•
230/240V models now to 150HP and 480Vmodels to 
500HP
•
Closed and open loop flux vector motor control
•
Improved starting torque with vector control
•
Dual rating: Heavy Duty 150% 60 secs/ Normal Duty 
110% 60 secs 
•
Two separate (ASR) speed loop tuning parameter sets 
for fine tuning both constant horsepower and low speed 
performance 
•
Three addition points on the V/F pattern for fine-tuning 
V/f performance 
•
Built-in dynamic braking transistor with optional DB 
resistor 
•
Intelligent stall prevention during accel and decel. 
Accel is completed in the shortest time possible based 
on current and fast decal without overvoltage trips. 
•
Auto-tuning 3-Methods (R1/Static/Dynamic) 
Static no load auto-tuning offers same torque accuracy 
performance as dynamic auto-tuning at base speed & 
below 
•
Forward and reverse direction torque compensation 
adjustments to improve motor stability and response 
•
Wider storage temperature range
•
DC Link to 500HP
•
12-pulse to 500HP
 
 
 
F7 Functional Improvements 
•
Optional 1500Hz output frequency software
•
Custom Application Software Environment (CASE) 
available 
•
Drive Wizard support tool software available
•
Built in RS-485 MODBUS serial communications
•
Optional communications: ModbusPlus, DeviceNet, 
Profibus-DP, Interbus-S, CAN Open, CC- Link, others. 
•
Improved bi-directional Speed search with current or 
speed estimation 
•
Two feedback PID control
•
DC input compatible (all models) simplified connection 
to DC power, removal of internal DC bus choke not 
required 
•
Improved Energy Savings- manual/automatic modes
•
New High Slip Braking (HSB) function to decrease 
motor stopping time without the addition of a braking 
resistor option 
•
New programmable motor dwelling during starting and 
stopping 
•
Zero servo position loop control in closed loop vector
•
Expanded multi-stage accel/decel selections
