| Question: | What steps are required to upgrade Sigma products to Sigma II? |
| Answer: | Required Reading: It is recommended and assumed that you have read the following FAQ in this same database: "Is upgrading from Sigma to Sigma II the best option?" The information in that FAQ provides the basic information necessary to determine if upgrading is the best option without getting into unnecessary details.
Planning an Upgrade: The documents provided in this FAQ provide a step-by-step guide to creating an upgrade plan and developing a draft of the bill of material (BOM). The worksheet below directly addresses the topic of retrofits and upgrades and should only be considered supplementary to the standard Sigma II product documentation. During the planning process and especially during the procurement phase of an upgrade, be sure to secure the recommended product documentation as outlined in the worksheet so that thorough documentation is available during the installation of the upgrade. These documents will be helpful for the mounting and wiring of the upgraded system as well as other facets of a successfully running Sigma II system..
In addition to the worksheet, Yaskawa also provides several tools to assist with upgrading. These tools include an abbreviated version of the Sigma II Product Catalog Supplement as well as a Parameter Converter that converts Sigma I parameters to the parameters the Sigma II amplifier needs to achieve the same performance. Step-by-step instructions for obtaining existing installation parameters, making the conversion, and installing the new Sigma II parameters are included with this utility.
To assist you, Sigma Win Lite (also called Sigma Win Beta) can be downloaded from Yaskawa's ftp site. |
