J7 Drive

1/8 - 5 HP

The J7 drive was a general purpose AC drive; its PWM design provided low motor noise and high starting torque, with a current overload rating of 150% for 60 seconds. V/f control made this drive suitable for most general applications. The J7 was feature-packed, low cost, and compact. The digital operator included a 3-digit LED status display. Digital programming covered 79 parameters. The J7 had five digital inputs (3 progammable), 1 analog input, and 1 digital output (programmable). An optional RS-485 Modbus RTU serial communication port was available. An ideal choice whenever low cost and small size were required.

The J7 Drive is a Legacy product and is no longer promoted in the Americas. Earlier versions of this product were named GPD 305/J7, GPD 305, or VS Mini J7.

	When dealing with harmonic noise, which is better-- an AC or a DC reactor? Posted Date: 06/20/2013 Answer: Use an AC reactor when attaching a reactor to the power supply side, and a DC reactor when attaching to the series + and - bus terminals on the inverter. They are both equally effective. They can also be used in combination. Refer to the attached technical note from a manufacturer of AC chokes and DC reactors for a detailed explanation of solutions to harmonic noise in AC drives.

	What will happen if there is only .5'' clearance from either top or bottom of the drive to an enclosure? Posted Date: 03/14/2006 Answer: There MUST be a minimum of 4.7'' clearance above and below the drive (varies by model) to allow airflow over the heat sink. Otherwise, an OH alarm (cooling fin overheat) may occur. Also, a minimum 1.2'' clearance (varies by model) is required on each side of the drive. Refer to the appropriate drives instruction manual for the mounting and clearance specifications.

	What is the meaning of CAL or CALL on the keypad display?. Posted Date: 10/28/2005 Answer: Upon drive power up when the drives Run Command or the frequency reference are to be given from PLC thru serial communication - "CALL" will flash on the display for the VS F7/G7 - "CAL" will flash on the display for the VS mini V7/J7 This indicates the unit is awaiting the appropriate communications data. Once a node receives acceptable data from PLC, CALL or CAL will stop flashing. the drive is then ready to run.

	What happens if a forward command and a reverse command are closed on the terminal block at the same time? Posted Date: 11/28/2005 Answer: A blinking error message will appear (EF), and the motor will decelerate to stop. Note: If both the forward and reverse commands have been shut off, then the motor will restart. When FWD and REV run commands are simultaneously input for over 500ms, the drive stops according to parameter n04. See TM.J7.01 for more information.

	What does it mean when the drive has a RUN command and the STOP light is flashing on the drive display? Posted Date: 10/27/2005 Answer: If the 'Stop' LED is flashing and the 'Drive' light is on, the drive is receiving a run command, but has either no frequency or a zero (0) frequency reference.

	On the J7 drive, can the input reference terminal FR still be used when the drive is programmed for Up/Down control? Posted Date: 06/20/2013 Answer: No. The input reference FR is ignored by the drive when Up/Down control is used. Up/Down Control has priority over the FR input as the speed reference. Refer to the attached to see other considerations to be taken when using the Up/Down control: For additional information, refer to TM.J7.01.

	How is the inverter reset after an alarm has gone off Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: The fault-alarm must be reset by either pushing reset on the digital operator or by setting up an input terminal that is set as a fault reset. A good example of this is terminal S3 that is factory wired as a fault reset. A final solution to clearing the fault and running the motor would be to cycle power to the entire drive.

	Does installation of an AC Drive near a large capacitor bank (power-factor correction) require special consideration? Posted Date: 10/27/2005 Answer: Yes. Capacitors are put across the AC power line to correct for lagging power factor due to inductive loads. Motors, relay coils, transformers, etc. are inductive loads. Many times capacitors are switched on and off the line as demand changes. Unfortunately, this switching results in large voltage spikes on the power line which can damage the drives rectifier circuit. To prevent damage use a 5% line reactor on the drive's input. If overvoltage faults are indicated, add dynamic braking -- this will clamp the DC bus.

	Can a Dynamic Braking resistor be installed on a J7 Drive? Posted Date: 10/11/2004 Answer: The J7 Drive does not have an internal braking transistor therefore that option can not be installed. An separate braking module is be needed. It may be more cost effective to use a V7 Drive instead for that application. Note: Earlier versions of the J7 Drive were named GPD 305/J7, GPD 305 or VS Mini J7 and earlier versions of the V7 Drive were named GPD 315/V7, GPD 315 or VS Mini V7.
