With MotionWorks IEC v2.x, it may have been necessary to include a file (as described below) to ensure that all SGDV drives were read correctly. In general, this problem has been fixed and should no be necessary when using newer version of MothinWorks IEC v3.x.
The following solution is applicable for MotionWorks IEC 2.x and SGDV drive ONLY. MotionWorks IEC 3.0 and later, as well as Sigma-7 drive compatiblity, are NOT supported using this method. Please contact Yaskawa Technical Support Group in these situations.
If a file named "Compatibleparts.XML" is added to the following MotionWorks IEC working directory, the Hardware Configuration will treat an unknown part number as a part number in its database. A reference file which can be edited is included on this page.
This solution is only recommended if your version of MotionWorks IEC does not recognize the part number of a Sigma-5 servopack on the network, such as a single phase 1.5KW servopack, or the fanless servopacks that end in 002000. The XML file attached to this FAQ contains the information to allow the recognition of the following six amplifier models:
Exact part Compatible part
SGDV-****21*002000 SGDV-****21*
SGDV-****25*002000 SGDV-****25*
SGDV-****11*002000 SGDV-****11*
SGDV-****15*002000 SGDV-****15*
SGDV-****E1*002000 SGDV-****E1*
SGDV-****E5*002000 SGDV-****E5*
The first tag contains the unknown part number. Asterisks (*) indicate any character. The plus character (+) indicates that the remainder of the string is ignored.
The second tag is the compatible part number already in your MotionWorks IEC database.
SGDV-****E1*+
SGDV-****E1*
