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
