Motion control systems consist of three main components: a controller, an amplifier and the motor itself. These three components must work together in harmony to ensure high performance and ease-of-use. This article will examine the latest Yaskawa product offerings in these three areas. It will show how these products work individually, and how they work together in an integrated motion control system.
This application note describes how to configure an AB CompactLogix PLC as a scanner and an MPiec controller as an adapter to facilitate EtherNet/IP communication. A step by step procedure is provided. An example of data transfer is also shown in this document.
With the release of MotionWorks IEC Version 3.3 and Firmware 3.3, it is now possible to use SigmaWin+ Version 7 to connect to multiple SERVOPACK axes over the MECHATROLINK-III network.
This application note explains how to calculate the linear deceleration constants to achieve the desired deceleration rate, and will also address different ways of setting and enabling the linear deceleration constants in order to prevent prolonged deceleration time when a Stop or Hold event is triggered during torque/speed mode. Finally, an example case study of a user migrating from Sigma-5 to Sigma-7 along with the list of parameters to be changed will be discussed.
This document guides developers in determining features to implement that are available through the network in the areas of: - Machine design - Drive setup - Machine manufacturing - Machine operation - Machine maintenance
This document contains the minimum hardware and software setup required to operate Yaskawa CANopen over EtherCAT Servo Drives with the Beckhoff TwinCAT EtherCAT master.Users who are developing a customized EtherCAT master should consider testing with an EtherCAT master that is known to be compatible with Yaskawa EtherCAT drives for the following reasons:-Proof of concept-Comparison of functionality-Comparison of performance-Troubleshooting a custom master that’s under development
This document contains instructions to command through EtherCAT the Absolute Encoder Multiturn Reset and clear the associated alarm (A.810) from Yaskawa EtherCAT SERVOPACKs, without requiring hardware power cycle.
This document explains how to configure and make a basic program to control a SigmaLogic7 Modbus Servopack with a Siemens PLC Simatic S7-1200. The PLC code is given only as a basic example purpose. More code and validation will have to be done to be used on a real application.
This document explains how to configure and connect an MSystem Mechatrolink-III I/O module on MP3300iec. The document is specific for the R7K4FML3-6-DAC32B it but could is as a reference example for the other MSystems I/O modules.
This application note describes how to configure high speed outputs on the Sigma7-FT62 SERVOPACK using the Y_DigitalCamSwitch function block.This function block can be found within the PLCopen_Toolbox and was modified for the 3.4 release to support FT62 functionality.
This procedure outlines setting up Fully Closed Loop operation using the SGDV-OFA01A option card and a SigmaLink linear encoder as the external encoder on a rotary ball screw system mounted to a Yaskawa servo. The procedure is described using SigmaWin+ ver. 7.
