F7 Benefits vs. P5
(continued)
F7 Functional Improvements
(continued)
•
10 additional preset speeds 
for a total of 16 preset 
speeds plus jog 
•
Three jump frequencies
•
Selectable Torque/Speed 
control 
•
Motor 1 and Motor 2 
parameter sets for switching 
between two different 
motors on one drive 
•
Over-speed detection in 
torque control for safe 
operation 
•
Speed deviation and encoder loss detection circuits and 
software 
•
Independently adjustable accel and decel S-curve 
profiles 
•
Two new PID operating modes: 
 (Freq. Ref. + PID output (D =Feedback) 
 ( Freq. Ref. + PID output (D = Feed-Forward) 
•
Set a predefined speed to run at when serial 
communication is lost. 
•
Modbus serial communication speed is now faster at 
19200 baud. 
 
F7 I/O Improvements 
•
Two more digital inputs for a total of eight
•
Two additional relay outputs M5 and M6 relays
•
One more analog input than P5 for a total of 3 analog 
inputs 
•
A convenient PCB switch now changes analog input 
A2 between current and voltage, cutting PCB jumper 
for mA signal is no longer required 
•
Analog output monitors are now programmable to: 
 0-10V, -10 to +10v, 4-20ma signal levels 
•
22 more programmable functions for digital inputs than 
P5. 51 total 
•
35 possible programmable functions for the digital 
outputs, 18 more than the P5 
•
24 programmable selections for the analog outputs, 20 
more than the P5
•
More versatile PNP/NPN sinking/sourcing I/O
•
Optional high resolution 14 bit analog input card
 
 
 
F7 I/O Improvements
(continued)

Option expanded 2 channel or 8 channel digital output 
card 
•
Built-in RS-485/422 modbus serial communications
•
Adjustable analog input signal filter for added stability
•
Additional pulse train input and output signals
•
Motor thermister input with overheat alarms and fault 
signals
