	Can the same hand-held digital operator panel (Yaskawa # JUSP-OP02A-1) be used in conjunction with Sigma II amplifiers as used with the Sigma I? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: Yes. The only difference is the serial port connector on the Sigma II amplifier. Yaskawa part# JZSP-CM00-1 is required to convert from the DB9 connector to the 14 pin high density connector. Please note that the Sigma II series of amplifiers are equipped with a built-in panel operator, and a software interface tool is also available (Yaskawa part # SigmaWin100) Product Group/Line: Servo Products, SGDH Sigma II Topic/Sub Topic: Ask a Technical Question, Integration, Keypad-Operator, Programming Document Number: REKR-5F8QQX Published Date: 07/13/2004 Share \| Rate Rate this article :	07/13/2004
	Can the PID in the V7 Drive be used for positioning? Posted Date: 10/09/2014 Answer: No. The output of the PID regulator in the V7 Drive is a unidirectional frequency (speed) command. Bidirectional speed control is necessary to do positioning. The drive must be able to approach the target by using bi-directional speed control. A separate position loop controller may be used to provide the V7 with a bi-polar speed reference/error signal that can allow the V7 to zero in on position. Basically an outer-position loop is needed to control the speed of the V7 for position loop control. Note: Earlier versions of the V7 Drive were named GPD 315/V7, GPD 315 or VS Mini V7.

	Can the operator on the V7 Drive be removed and remotely mounted? Posted Date: 10/27/2005 Answer: Yes, with a remote operator kit. The kit contains a plastic housing to hold the V7 operator, a cable and a plastic cover to fill the hole on the drive where the operator had been. NEMA 1 kits are part Number DS084(1 meter cable) or DS086(3 meter cable). NEMA 4 kits are DS081(1 meter cable) or DS083(3 meter cable). Note: Earlier versions of the V7 Drive were named GPD 315/V7, GPD 315 or VS Mini V7.

	Can the NS600 be tested using serial commands sent from a PC? Posted Date: 03/26/2014 Answer: Yes. Serial communication can be tested from a PC using HyperTerminal. A serial connection can be established, and the NS600 can be operated using serial commands. To setup communication: 1. Connect a YS-12 cable from a comm port on the PC to CN6 on the NS600. 2. Open the HyperTerminal program. (C:\Start\Programs\Accessories\Communications\HyperTerminal) 3. Apply power to the NS600 (make sure it is connected to the SGDH) 4. Follow the attached powerpoint to configure communication.

	Can the MP920 change the parameters in an SGDH amplifier? Posted Date: 08/19/2004 Answer: Yes, an MP920 with an SVB Module can read/write SGDH parameters via the register OLxx35. Depending on the motion command code, the OLxx35 register can hold three different types of data: 1. When Motion Command Code (OWxx20) is set to 17 (read servo parameter) or 18 (change servo parameter), OLxx35 contains the servo drive parameter number. Bits 0-11 are the Pn number and bits 12-15 are the number of words. When reading, the value of the servo parameter is stored in Pn Constant Read Data register ILxx28. When writing, the value stored in Pn Constant Change Data register, OWxx36, is written to the amplifier. 2. When Motion Command Code (OWxx20) is set to 19, OLxx35 contains the current servo drive alarm monitor number. The Alarm code is found in the Servo Drive Alarm Code Register, IWxx24. 3. When Motion Command Code (OWxx20) is set to 20, OLxx35 contains the current servo drive alarm history monitor number. When specifying a number between 0-9, the alarm code corresponding to the specified monitor number is stored in the Servo Drive Alarm Code Register, IWxx24. Example for reading Torque Reference Filter Time Constant, Pn401: 1. Set OWxx35 to H1401. The first three nibbles have the parameter number 401 and the last nibble specifies the number of words, in this case 1 (0~65535) 2. Change OWxx20 to 17. This will read the value of Pn401 and store it in the Pn Constant Read Data register, ILxx28. Example for writing Torque Reference Filter Time Constant, Pn401: 1. Set OWxx35 to H1401. The first three nibbles have the parameter number 401 and the last nibble specifies the number of words data, in this case 1 (0~65535) 2. Set the Pn Constant Change Data register, OWxx36, to the new value for the torque reference filter time constant, Pn401. 3. Change OWxx20 to 18. This will copy OWxx36 register value to Pn401.
