File Menu
P5 (GPD505/P5 or GPD506/P5+) to P7 Conversion
This selection will convert an existing P5 (GPD506/P5+ or GPD505/P5) file to a P7 file. The
P5 file must be a *.P5 or *.P5P created in InverterWin 3.0. The P7 drive output file will be
the latest released software number (at this writing 1020). Parameters that are not transferable
from the P5 input file will be present to the P7 factory defaults. For a map of the parameter
conversion, please see the GPD505/P5 to E7/P7 Conversion Tool Parameter Map or
GPD506/P5+ to E7/P7 Conversion Tool Parameter Map section under the Appendix H.
To use the P5 (GPD505/P5 or GPD506/P5+) to P7 conversion tool, please follow the following
steps:
1. Click on File > File Conversion in the top line main menu bar.
2. Figure 4.22 will appear. Click on P5 to P7 and then click on OK .
3. The File Open window (Figure 4.1) will appear. Select the P5 file you wish to convert by
clicking on the file to highlight and then click on Open . Only P5 and P5P extension files will
be seen in the open file window.
Figure 4.22: Select File Conversion Type
4. The conversion process now starts and there is a time delay while the conversion takes place.
The status bar will read “File Conversion in Progress” during this time. When the conversion is
completed, a File Save As window opens (Figure 4.6). Select PARMS or CSV (if you desire)
and type in the name of the P7 conversion output file you wish to save. Click on Save to save
the file. A file comment window opens to add file comments if you wish (see Save Parameter
File As section earlier in this chapter).
5. A warning window (Figure 4.23) will now appear reminding the user to set the carrier frequency
and rating of the P7 manually (C6-01, C6-02, etc) . This is because the GPD505/506/P5 does not
have the current rating and carrier frequency rules that the P7 has. Refer to the P7 drive manual
TM.P7.02 programming page 29 for more detail. Also, several of the functions in P5 do not
directly convert to P7 so please check the converted file for the correct drive programming
(See appendix H for more detail). Click on OK to complete the file save process.
