	On what applications should the GPD 506/P5 be used? Posted Date: 11/29/2005 Answer: The drive is designed specifically where overload and starting torque requirements are well known. Common uses include fans, centrifugal pumps, commercial laundry machines, grinders, buffers, low-viscosity mixers, centrifuges and saws.

	On the V7 Drive are the Logic inputs and the Logic Common terminal (SC) electrically isolated from the Frequency Reference Common (FC)? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: Yes. The Logic Inputs (S1..S7) and Logic Common (SC) are electrically isolated from all other terminals including FC and chassis ground. In fact all circuit board connections are DC isolated from chassis ground. However, 'Frequency Common' (FC) is 'OV' (read 'zero volts') which is the circuit board common. FC is not isolated from the MODBUS terminals (S+,S-,R+ and R-). Note: Earlier versions of the V7 Drive were named GPD 315/V7, GPD 315 or VS Mini V7.

	On the V1000 series drive, should the H1, HC circuit be used with an external 24V supply? Posted Date: 10/21/2013 Answer: A external, 24VDC power supply will cause damage to the isolation photo coupler and void the warranty. Furthermore, the safety directive EN61508, will no longer meet its requirements. Therefore, using the internal power supply for this circuit is the only supported wiring of this circuit. For additional information, please refer to the manual SIEPC71060618 or search for IEC 61508 in Wikipedia.

	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.

	On the GPD 515/G5, If Terminal 1 to 11 are closed, but the GPD515/G5 inverter still does not run. What is wrong? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: There are 3 possible reasons that the drive is not running: 1. The drive is receiving no speed reference. If this is the case, the Run light will be on, and the Stop light will be flashing. 2. The inverter is not using the input terminals for the 'Run' command. Set Parameter 'b1-02' to '1: Terminal'. 3. The inverter is being placed into the 'drive' mode with the run command at Terminal '1' already engaged? Remove that contact closure and then reapply it.

	On the GPD 515/G5, can the 15V at pin-15 power a proximity sensor? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: Maybe. The 15V at pin-15 is referenced to board common (pin-17) and rated to source 20mA max. Unless the output of the proximity sensor is isolated, using the sensors output to sink one of the logic inputs would necessitate connecting logic common (pin-11) to board common (pin-17). This could cause potential GROUND LOOP problems with other inputs.

	On the GPD503, why does the Stop LED continue to flash after the drive has stopped runnning? Posted Date: 06/20/2013 Answer: This is a normal wait state for the drive. It indicates that the drive is in standby mode and waiting to receive a run command. The GPD 503 has 7 indicator lamps attached is a flowchart describing the different functions of each LED, including the STOP LED.

	On the A1000 series, if a unidirectional 3-wire control is desired, can the directional digital input (H1-0X = 0) be disabled?
