	Why is the SGMVV motor's cooling fan stopped after only a few minutes of running? Posted Date: 08/20/2013 Answer: The 3-phase AC power to the fan is incorrectly wired. L1, L2, L3 of the 3-phase AC input to the fan must be in the correct sequence, otherwise the fan will be running backwards which causes the fan motor to overheat and trips its internal thermal protector causing the fan to shutdown. Check the L1, L2, L3 wiring, and check the airflow of the fan to ensure it is blowing in the direction of the indication arrow marked on its housing. Correct the L1, L2, L3 wiring if necessary. This also applies to SGMVH motor's cooling fan.

	Why doesn’t the EtherCAT SERVOPACK retain Pn20E and Pn210? Posted Date: 02/01/2017 Answer: The Yaskawa EtherCAT SERVOPACK controls the electronic gear parameters Pn20E and Pn210. Changes made by the user have no effect. After a power cycle they are overwritten by the SERVOPACK. For the SGDV EtherCAT SERVOPACK, Pn20E and Pn210 are always set to 1. For the SGD7S EtherCAT SERVOPACK, Pn20E and Pn210 are set so that the resolution is 1,048,576 increments per rotation. When using motors with 24-bit encoders (SGM7J, SGM7A, or SGM7G) Pn20E will be set to 16 and Pn210 will be set to 1. To adjust the reference units seen by the EtherCAT Master use objects 2701:01h and 2702:02h (PnB02 and PnB04).

	Why does my EtherCAT Master report incorrect feedback position from a Sigma-7 SERVOPACK / servomotor? Posted Date: 05/03/2017 Answer: 1. The feedback position is correct; however, for firmware version 8.03 and earlier, the low four bits of position data are not available. 2. Future firmware versions will not allow writing to Pn20E and Pn210, but instead will enable a full-single-turn resolution mode via a new CoE object.

	What options are available to stop the motor using EtherCAT commands? Posted Date: 12/22/2015 Answer: First, decide if the drive should be in "Operation Enabled" state or "Switch On Disabled" state after the stop is commanded. If the drive should be in "Operation Enabled" (servo enabled), then use the Halt command (described below, option A). If the drive should be in "Switch On Disabled" (servo disabled), then use the Quick Stop command (option B). Option A: To use the Halt command: First, set up the halt method, in object 605Dh, as "3". Second, set the torque limit to maximum for the application. Then, issue Halt (bit 8) of the Controlword for the stop. Note: Higher values for torque limit will produce faster stopping. Option B: To use the Quick Stop Command: First, set up the stop method, in object 605Ah, as "3". Second, set the torque limit to maximum for the application. Then, issue the Quick Stop command (with the Controlword) for the stop. Note: Higher values for torque limit will produce faster stopping. Another method other than stopping, is to command motion in the opposite direction before commanding Quick Stop or Halt. Refer to Yaskawa.com FAQ# SRV-76V18C for torque limit options.

	What options are available to limit torque on the SGDV CANopen over EtherCAT SERVOPACK? Posted Date: 07/15/2015 Answer: Refer to section 5.4 Limiting Torque of SIEPC72082904 Σ-V Series EtherCAT (CoE) Network Module User’s Manual. Precautions for limiting torque: 1. A torque limit setting may result in insufficient torque during acceleration and deceleration. 2. Excessive Position Error Alarm Level Pn520 may need to be increased to prevent the alarm from occurring during normal operations. The excessive position error alarm in a torque limited situation may be due to insufficient torque available to perform the move within the position error level. 3. The SERVOPACK uses the set minimum torque from all of the torque limit methods to limit the output. Regarding all torque limit methods: 1. Torque limit settings are applicable in all modes (Position, Speed, and Torque). Limiting method 1: Torque limited by parameter setting only. Applicable parameters: • Pn402 (CoE object 2402h) Forward Torque Limit • Pn403 (CoE object 2403h) Reverse Torque Limit Setting these parameters enforces torque limit under the following conditions: • The applied torque limit is directional. For example: If only one of the two parameters is set, torque is only limited in one of the two directions (forward or reverse). The changes are effective immediately. The parameters may be set through SigmaWin, Digital Operator, or EtherCAT. The units are in % rated torque. The default values are 800 (800% rated torque). However, the maximum torque of the servomotor (depends on the model) is applied whenever the value exceeds the maximum torque. For example: For a motor capable of 350% rated torque, the default setting of 800 does not mean the motor is torque limited to 800% rated torque. The default setting of 800 means the maximum torque of the servomotor (350% in this example) is applied. Limiting method 2: Torque limit set by parameter enabled by I/O input signal. Applicable parameters: • Pn404 (CoE object 2404h) Forward External Torque Limit • Pn405 (CoE object 2405h) Reverse External Torque Limit • Pn50B.2 (CoE object 250Bh, 3rd rightmost Hexadecimal character) /P-CL Signal Mapping • Pn50B.3 (CoE object 250Bh, 4th rightmost Hexadecimal character) /N-CL Signal Mapping Setting these parameters enforces torque limit under the following conditions: • A physical signal (/P-CL or /N-CL) must be triggered for the torque to be limited. • The signal (/P-CL or /N-CL) must be assigned to a SERVOPACK input for the torque to be limited by the triggering of the signal. • The applied torque limit is directional. For example: If only one of the two signals is triggered, torque is only limited in one of the two directions (forward or reverse), assuming the torque limit parameters (Pn404 [2404h], Pn405 [2404h]) have been set. The changes to the torque limit parameters (Pn404 [2404h], Pn405 [2405h]) are effective immediately. However, the change to signal input assignment (Pn50B.2 [250Bh], Pn50B.3 [250Bh]) requires either (A) The use of User Parameter Configuration (CoE object 2700h) or (B) Storage to EEPROM then drive reset. The parameters may be set through SigmaWin, Digital Operator, or EtherCAT. The units of the torque limit parameters (Pn404 [2404h], Pn405 [2404h]) are in % rated torque. The default values of the torque limit parameters (Pn404 [2404h], Pn405 [2404h]) are 800 (800% rated torque). However, the maximum torque of the servomotor (depends on the model) is applied whenever the value exceeds the maximum torque. For example: For a motor capable of 350% rated torque, the default setting of 800 does not mean the motor is torque limited to 800% rated torque. The default setting of 800 means the maximum torque of the servomotor (350% in this example) is applied. Limiting method 3: Torque limit set by parameter enabled by command from controller. Applicable parameters & objects: • Pn404 (CoE object 2404h) Forward External Torque Limit • Pn405 (CoE object 2405h) Reverse External Torque Limit • CoE object 6040h, Controlword (PnB11) Setting these parameters & objects enforces torque limit under the following conditions: • Controlword (CoE object 6040h) bits 11 (Positive Torque Limit) and/or 12 (Negative Torque Limit) must be set to 1 for the torque to be limited. • The applied torque limit is directional. For example: If only one of the two Controlword bits is set to 1, torque is only limited in one of the two directions (forward or reverse), assuming the torque limit parameters (Pn404 [2404h], Pn405 [2404h]) have been set. The changes to the torque limit parameters (Pn404 [2404h], Pn405 [2404h]) and the Controlword (CoE object 6040h) are effective immediately. The torque limit parameters (Pn404 [2404h], Pn405 [2404h]) may be set through SigmaWin, Digital Operator, or EtherCAT. However, the Controlword (CoE object 6040h) must be set through EtherCAT. The units of the torque limit parameters (Pn404 [2404h], Pn405 [2404h]) are in % rated torque. The default values of the torque limit parameters (Pn404 [2404h], Pn405 [2404h]) are 800 (800% rated torque). However, the maximum torque of the servomotor (depends on the model) is applied whenever the value exceeds the maximum torque. For example: For a motor capable of 350% rated torque, the default setting of 800 does not mean the motor is torque limited to 800% rated torque. The default setting of 800 means the maximum torque of the servomotor (350% in this example) is applied. Limiting method 4a: Torque limit controlled from controller. Applicable parameters & objects: • PnB80 (CoE object 60E0h) Forward Torque Limit • PnB82 (CoE object 60E1h) Reverse Torque Limit • PnB94 (CoE object 2704:01h) Torque User Unit Numerator [Revision Number 6.00 and higher] • PnB96 (CoE object 2704:02h) Torque User Unit Denominator [Revision Number 6.00 and higher] * Refer to AN.MTN.06.ETHERCAT to determine how to read Revision Number. Setting these parameters & objects enforces torque limit under the following conditions: • The torque is limited according to the applied Torque User Units. For Revision Number 5.04 and below, Torque User Units is fixed at 0.1% rated torque. For all Revision Numbers, Torque User Units default is 0.1% rated torque. • The applied torque limit is directional. For example: If only one of the two torque limit parameters is set, torque is only limited in one of the two directions (forward or reverse). The changes to the torque limit parameters (PnB80 [60E0h], PnB82 [60E1h]) are effective immediately. However, a change to the Torque User Units (PnB94 [2704:01h], PnB96 [2704:02h]) requires either (A) The use of User Parameter Configuration (CoE object 2700h) or (B) Storage to EEPROM then drive reset. The torque limit parameters (PnB80 [60E0h], PnB82 [60E1h]) may be set through SigmaWin, Digital Operator, or EtherCAT. However, the Torque User Units (PnB94 [2704:01h], PnB96 [2704:02h]) must be set through EtherCAT or Digital Operator until a version of SigmaWin can display those parameters (as of SigmaWin version 5.72, the parameters are not displayed). The units of the torque limit parameters (PnB80 [60E0h], PnB82 [60E1h]) are in Torque User Units (PnB94 [2704:01h], PnB96 [2704:02h]). The default Torque User Units (PnB94 [2704:01h], PnB96 [2704:02h]) is 0.1% rated torque. The default values of the torque limit parameters (PnB80 [60E0h], PnB82 [60E1h]) are 8000 (800% rated torque if default Torque User Units are applied). The default torque limit parameter (PnB80 [60E0h], PnB82 [60E1h]) values are not automatically changed if Torque User Units are changed. Also, the maximum torque of the servomotor (depends on the model) is applied whenever the value exceeds the maximum torque. For example: For a motor capable of 350% rated torque, the default setting of 800 does not mean the motor is torque limited to 800% rated torque. The default setting of 800 means the maximum torque of the servomotor (350% in this example) is applied. Limiting method 4b: Torque limit controlled from controller. Applicable parameters & objects: • PnB38 (CoE object 6072h) Max Torque • PnB94 (CoE object 2704:01h) Torque User Unit Numerator [Revision Number 6.00 and higher] • PnB96 (CoE object 2704:02h) Torque User Unit Denominator [Revision Number 6.00 and higher] * Refer to AN.MTN.06.ETHERCAT to determine how to read Revision Number. Setting these parameters & objects enforces torque limit under the following conditions: • The torque is limited according to the applied Torque User Units. For Revision Number 5.04 and below, Torque User Units is fixed at 0.1% rated torque. For all Revision Numbers, Torque User Units default is 0.1% rated torque. • The torque limit is unidirectional. The changes to the max torque parameter (PnB38 [6072h]) is effective immediately. However, a change to the Torque User Units (PnB94 [2704:01h], PnB96 [2704:02h]) requires either (A) The use of User Parameter Configuration (CoE object 2700h) or (B) Storage to EEPROM then drive reset. The max torque parameter (PnB38 [6072h]) may be set through SigmaWin, Digital Operator, or EtherCAT. However, the Torque User Units (PnB94 [2704:01h], PnB96 [2704:02h]) must be set through EtherCAT or Digital Operator until a version of SigmaWin can display those parameters (as of SigmaWin version 5.72, the parameters are not displayed). The units of the max torque parameter (PnB38 [6072h]) is in Torque User Units (PnB94 [2704:01h], PnB96 [2704:02h]). The default Torque User Units (PnB94 [2704:01h], PnB96 [2704:02h]) is 0.1% rated torque. The default value of the max torque parameter (PnB38 [6072h]) is the connected motor’s maximum torque (dependent on the motor model) in units of 0.1% rated torque. For example: The value of 3330 means the motor’s maximum torque is 333.0% rated torque. The default max torque parameter (PnB38 [6072h]) value is not automatically changed if Torque User Units are changed. For example: If PnB96 [2704:02h] = 10, PnB94 [2704:01h] = 1, and PnB38 [6072h] has a default value of 3240, then the max torque applied is 324% rated torque. However, if PnB96 [2704:02h] = 100, PnB94 [2704:01h] = 1, and PnB38 [6072h] has a default value of 3240, then max torque applied is 32.40%. Also, the maximum torque of the servomotor (depends on the model) is applied whenever the value exceeds the maximum torque. For example: For a motor capable of 350% rated torque, the setting for Max Torque (PnB38 [6072h]) of 6553.5% rated torque does not mean the motor is torque limited to 6553.5% rated torque. The setting of 6553.5% rated torque means the maximum torque of the servomotor (350% in this example) is applied.

	What is the life expectancy of a Sigma-5 motor when operating above 40 degrees Celsius (104 F)? Posted Date: 10/18/2010 Answer: The Sigma-5 motor's class F insulation system is rated at 155 degrees Celsius (311 F) maximum internal operating temperature. Every 10 degree C increase of actual temperature above this maximum specification will decrease the life of the insulation system by 50%. The internal temperature of a motor producing rated torque, operating at or below an ambient temperature of 40 degrees Celsius, and mounted to the recommended heat sink should not normally exceed this 155 degrees Celsius limit. Within the rated operating conditions, Yaskawa America Inc. recommends that the bearings be serviced every 20,000 hours. If the ambient temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, the usable life of the bearings and the motor can be decreased but there is no other information available on the bearing life degradation in elevated temperature conditions. The recommended service schedule can be found in the Safety Precaution pamphlet manual that is shipped with every motor ( Manual No. C230200 00B). Please see the attached document for other safety precautions and service schedules.

	What is the battery current draw of the absolute encoder of the Sigma-5 motors with and without control power? Posted Date: 06/18/2013 Answer: The Sigma-5 absolute encoder's current draw when control power OFF is 20uA approximately and 30uA maximum with surrounding temperature at 25°C. Conversely, the Sigma-5 absolute encoder's current draw reduces to 3uA when control power is ON with surrounding temperature at 25°C . It is recommended to use lithium battery where its capacity depends on the number of axes used.

	What is California's Proposition 65? Posted Date: 06/01/2020 Answer: California Proposition 65 is a standalone program that affects commercial goods sold in the state of CA. This was enacted in 1986 as "The safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986". Businesses, including manufacturers, producers, packagers, importers, suppliers and distributors, are required to provide warnings required under the California Code of Regulations (the “Code”) if their products or facilities can expose consumers or workers to a listed chemical above identified threshold levels, known to the state of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. The chemical list contains more than 900 substances, and this list is updated every year.

	What is an A.F50 Alarm? Posted Date: 03/03/2015 Answer: A.F50 is a Servomotor disconnection alarm. Cause: The detected torque is 10% or less, but the commanded torque reference is 90% or more for 10ms. This alarm is not activated in cases of BB due to hardware issues. In those cases, an A.F6 or A.b3 is generated instead. Alarm Reset is available Corrective Actions: Check the servomotor power line wiring. Tighten the motor power connection. Replace the servo amplifier.

	What could cause motion commands sent to an EtherCAT axis to be executed by a different axis than intended? Posted Date: 03/07/2014 Answer: With an EtherCAT configuration, the connection order of the servopacks is important. EtherCAT Input should be connected to CN11A and EtherCAT Output to the next servopack in the network should be connected at CN11B. If connections are interchanged after initial commissioning, like in the case of a servopack replacement, the master may reassign addresses in a different physical order at the next power-up. To assist this situation, the servopack provides a means to set EtherCAT secondary addresses (aliases) via rotary dip switches S11 and S12. See Section 4.4.4 of the user manual for more information on these settings. For more information refer to SIEPC72082904 the Sigma-5 User Manual: EtherCAT (CoE) Network Module.
