	Is there a wiring example of an MP940 following a Sigma II SGDH servo master? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: Yes. Attached Below is an example wiring of a Sigma II SGDH servo system as a master, wired to the external encoder input of the MP940 system. In this case the SGDH motors encoder is output on the 1CN connector as simulated encoder. The Encoder Output resolution from the SGDH can be changed or divided out by adjusting the PG Dividing Ration Parameter (Pn201). For more information on wiring connections and wiring techniques, please refer to the Sigma II Users manual and the attached MP940 I/O connection diagram.

	Is there a way to send comments to the controller so they can be viewed if the program is uploaded? Posted Date: 03/22/2001 Answer: The double slash comments (preceded with "//") are stripped from the code before it is downloaded. To make a comment that is sent to the controller, use the "NO" (No Operation) command. The command/comment will be sent to the controller and will count toward the 1000 programming lines. The NO command is usually used for important machine information (version number, contact information) and not for general commenting.

	Is there a way to see which lines a program is executing? Posted Date: 03/22/2001 Answer: Using the trace function (turn it on with TR1 and off with TR0), the lines can be displayed as they are executed. This can be very difficult to follow if the program is executing very quickly, and it may be helpful to include the TR1 and TR0 in the programming code.

	Is there a way to perform an initialization without losing the parameter settings? Posted Date: 11/28/2005 Answer: Yes. To do this, a "User Initialization" will have to be performed. When the Access Level ( A 1 - 0 1 ) is set to "Advanced", the "Function A2 User Constants" option will appear in the top level of the menu. The parameters desired for custom access are entered into A2-XX parameters. After any of the A2 parameters have been programmed, the "User Program" option appears in the choice of Access Levels. Choosing this option will allow only those parameters programmed in A2-XX to be accessed in "Programming". Up to 32 parameters may be programmed. To add parameters to or delete parameters from A2-XX list , change the Access Level back to Advanced. Then, the current programming must be set to default. This can be done by setting parameter o2-03 to '1: Set default'. Once this is done, there will be a new selection available in parameter A1-03. In this parameter, '1110: User initialize' will become available. Selecting '1110: User initialize' in parameter A1-03 will initialize the drive to user default settings.

	Is there a way to have serial communication between Sigma Mini SGDF & a PC? Posted Date: 07/25/2005 Answer: Yes, by connecting the SGDF servo amplifier to a personal computer's serial communication port via the 3CN connector, the personal computer can be used to display and set user constants and to monitor the status of the servo amplifier. The attachments provide information on the PC communication cable & serial communication protocol between PC & SGDA servo amplifier, which is basically the same for Sigma Mini.

	Is there a way to clear the fault history? Posted Date: 06/08/2007 Answer: Yes. Performing an initialization will clear the fault history. Whenever the fault relay trips (drive shutdown), the fault that caused the trip (except for parameter setting errors) are entered into non-volatile RAM. The drive retains the last four faults and the operating conditions when the last fault occurred. (NOTE: Time is in operating hours.) These faults can only be displayed when the drive is in the Drive mode (DRIVE light is on). The drive can be stopped or running when displaying these faults. There is other related information on this FAQ, see "Link to related files" below. Refer to Table 6-3 in the G5 Manual for more fault history functions.

	Is there a way to "lock out" unauthorized programming of the GPD515/G5? Posted Date: 11/28/2005 Answer: Yes. This can be accomplished one (or both) of two ways: 1. In the Initialize Group, set the desired access level in A1-01. Next, go to A1-04. From this location, press the "reset" key, and without releasing, press the menu key. This is parameter A1-05 and is a "hidden" parameter which it not even listed in the technical manual. The display should now read "Select Password". Enter the desired password. From this point forward, A1-01 cannot be changed unless A1-04 = A1-05. 2. Set one of the digital inputs (H1-01 through H1-06) to "Program lockout (1B)". A key-switch can then be added between that terminal and the common (term. 11), or, to make it less obvious, authorized personnel could simply use a jumper across those two terminals when a programming change needs to be made. A contact closure will allow programming of the inverter based on access determined in the "Initialize" group of parameters.

	Is there a variable that will show which step of a Sequential Function Chart (SFC) program is currently executing? Posted Date: 07/04/2013 Answer: Behind the scenes, an SFC keeps track of which Step it is on using a special variable referred to as the 'Step.X' (read Step-dot-X) variable. For example, if the Step is called YASKAWA, the execution status bit is YASKAWA.X. This is a Boolean variable that indicates that a particular Step is active. This status flag is not a declared variable and will not be found in any variable worksheets, but is available for use by the IEC program to make entry and exit conditions for any actions. When the transition for a Step becomes active (evaluates as TRUE), the Step.X variable for the previous step is set FALSE and the actions for that Step are executed one more time. This allows any clean-up that the Step may require. View the attached example of how the Step X variables work for the SFC code.

	Is there a solution for MotionWorks IEC v2.x to enable the Hardware Configuration to recognize an unknown SGDV model number? Posted Date: 12/20/2017 Answer: 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-***21002000 SGDV-***21 SGDV-***25002000 SGDV-***25 SGDV-***11002000 SGDV-***11 SGDV-***15002000 SGDV-***15 SGDV-***E1002000 SGDV-***E1 SGDV-***E5002000 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.

	Is there a remedy for recovering a MotionWorks IEC project that shows the error: "No suitable converter for projects created with the version '2.0' of MotionWorks IEC Pro? Posted Date: 09/21/2011 Answer: Yes. The project may have some corrupted files that can be regenerated. Follow the steps below to recover the project: Please be aware that a similar message will appear if a project was created using MotionWorks IEC 2.x and an attempt is made to open it using MotionWorks IEC v1.x. The difference in the message will be the version number displayed. When there is possible project corruption, the version number will simply indicate 2.0, or possibly garbled characters. When a 2.x project is opened in MotionWorks IEC 1.x, then the version will contain a four part number, such as 2.0.0.27. In this case the project is not corrupted. MotionWorks IEC 2.x projects cannot be opened in MotionWorks IEC 1.x Steps to recover from a corrupted project: 1. Open the .zwe or .zwt project using MotionWorks IEC. Close MotionWorks IEC (this will extract the project files but fail to open it) 2. In a Windows file explorer window, browse to the folder containing the project. There should be a .mwt (for Pro) or .mwe (for Express) file with the project name and a sub-directory with the project name. Delete the .mwt or .mwe file, but not the sub-directory. 3. Copy and paste a .mwt (Pro) or .mwe (Express) file to where deleted .mwe or .mwt file was located. If you do not have another project, then create a new project using MotionWorks IEC and use the resulting .mwt or .mwe file. 4. Rename the pasted .mwe or .mwt file to match the name of the file deleted in step 2. 5. Open the project using MotionWorks IEC. 6. Compile.

	Is there a recommended solution for controlling a motor brake when the system has a LEGEND Amplifier? Posted Date: 02/15/2006 Answer: Yes, the circuit for controlling the servomotor's brake is very simple. It utilizes the LEGEND Alarm output, the SMC3010 Estop output, and one (1) SMC3010 digital output. If a fault occurs in the LEGEND amplifier, its Alarm output will turn off, engaging the motor's brake. If a fault occurs within the SMC3010, its Estop output will turn off, engaging the motor's brake. The programmable digital output gives the program control of the motor's brake.

	Is there a quick way to reset SGDH servo alarms without using PC software? Posted Date: 05/21/2001 Answer: To reset an alarm on a Sigma II amplifier, just press the middle two buttons ("up arrow" and "down arrow") on the digital operator at the same time. This has the same effect as the ALM-RST input or executing the Fault Reset block in MotionWorks+. Not all alarms can be reset this way; some require you to cycle power. For a list of alarms that can't be reset, see your Sigma II User's Guide, section 9.2.3. The alarms with a single asterisk require the power to be cycled. If an external controller is attached to the SGDH, the motion program must be aborted before resetting the servo alarm to prevent an unsafe situation.

	Is there a procedure for starting-up a Sigma II Servo System with an Absolute Encoder? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: Commissioning a Sigma II (SGDH) Servopack. When using an absolute encoder: In the case where an ABS encoder is used, the ABS encoder should be set-up before any option units are attached and before the trial operation is commenced. Section 5.7 in the users manual should be read and understood before an Absolute encoder is used for the first time. Basic Servopack/Servomotor Check: Trial Operation Section 4.1 in users manual. 1) Direction- Verify the direction by energizing control power (L1C & LC2) only, then monitoring Un-000 (7.1.7 Monitor Mode - 'Actual Motor Speed' [RPM]) for positive and negative numbers as the axis is moved by hand. 2) Change direction reference if required: This is done by changing the value in Pn-000.0 between 0 and 1. Don't forget to cycle the power if a change is made. 3) JOG the servo system: Jog is initiated with Fn-002 (7.2.2 'JOG operation using Digital operator'.) Always remember that the default JOG Speed is 500RPM and is set at Pn-304. Main Power (L1, L2 and L3) should be ON in order to JOG. When using Option units: 1) If an absolute encoder exists, set it up first (5.7 'Absolute Encoders'). 2) Check the Servopack and Servomotor connections and do the trial test described above (4.1 'Two Step Trial Operation') 3) If all is well, power everything down. Then connect option unit and re-power. 4) Adjust additional user parameters added to the system related to the option unit's existence. Resetting a SGDH (Sigma II) Servopack to factory default: 1) Fn-005 (7.2.9 'Initializing Parameter Settings') 2) Fn-006 (7.2.5 'Clearing Alarm Trace back Data') This step is not mandatory, but is suggested. 3) Fn-014 (7.2.13 'Clearing Option Unit Detection Alarm') If no option unit was used, this is not required.

	Is there any information available regarding the communication cabapilities of the 218IF-Y1 option card available for the MPiec Series Controllers? Posted Date: 10/28/2013 Answer: Yes, The following describes the capabilities of the 218IF-Y1 card: Q1: Is web server access possible via 218IF-Y1? A1: Yes, from a PC on the same network, simply go to the IP address of the 218IF-Y1 card. Q2: Are Modbus/TCP and Ethernet/IP protocols supported by the 218IF-Y1? A2: Yes, all protocols available on the main Ethernet port are possible on the 218IF-Y1 card. Other devices acting as a Modbus master or Ethernet/IP scanner can communicate to any ethernet port on the MPiec Series Controller and the MP will respond. Q3: How can IO configure the 218IF-Y1 card to communication Modbus or Ethernet/IP? I don't see a screen supporting this in the Hardware Configuration. A3: The communication protocols are not linked to a specific ethernet port. Communications are automatically routed to the correct ethernet port based on the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. For example, assume the MPiec controller has the following IP address configuration: Default gateway = 192.168.1.253 Main port = 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask = 255.255.255.0 218IF-Y1 port = 192.168.2.1 with subnet mask = 255.255.255.0 If the Hardware configuration includes a Modbus slave at 192.168.2.10, the MPiec controller will automatically route the communications to that device from the 218IF-Y1 card. This is because they have the same address when filtered by the subnet mask. (192.168.2) If the Hardware Configuration includes a modbus slave at 192.168.207.30, the controller will send the communications to the Default Gateway, which in the example given above is the main port. This is because the first three octets of the IP address match the default Gateway (192.168.1) in accordance with the subnet mask (255.255.255.0) Q4: Are custom TCP/IP protocols possible with 218IF-Y1? A4: These are supported in the same manner described in A3.

	Is there an example SMC program showing calculations for a cam profile that matches speed, and then adjusts to the next product? Posted Date: 02/04/2003 Answer: Yes. The attached files demonstrate the basics that are required for calculating a cam profile that will match speed with a web, then perform a blended s-curve move to advance or retard the slave, typically a knife or print roller. The excel worksheet below is the basis for the cam calculations in SMC code. The resulting cam profile can be viewed in excel very easily. The data in Excel and the variables in the SMC example are close matches so the two are easier to compare. The major difference between the two calculations (Excel & SMC) is: Excel uses radians with the sin functions and the SMC uses degrees. This SMC example makes it easy to recalculate the cam if a different part size is required.

	Is there an alternative explanation of the term "User Units" pertaining to Yaskawa's electronic gearing built into the Servopacks and JUSP-NSxxx option board products? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: User units are a description of the resultant position units after electronic gearing parameters are adjusted. This is a feature used when a Yaskawa Servopack is in position mode. A Servopack may be in position mode under two circumstances: accepting pulses from a stepper motor indexer or when an application module such as an NS600, NS300 or NS500 is attached. Electronic gearing is expressed as a ratio. The result is that the position can be pulsed or commanded in logical user units, not just motor-encoder counts. Positioning in user units allows the application programmer to set position targets in realistic units rather than encoder counts. The Ratio is expressed as B/A, where B and A are integers. 'B' is the number of Quadrature [x4] encoder counts the motor will move for a given 'A' number of commanded user units. If B=300 and A=20, then for every 20 user units sent to the Servopack via pulses or a position command issued from an option card, the servomotor will move 300 encoder counts. If only 10 user units are commanded, then the servomotor will move 150 encoder counts. To see the equation and further information, please see the attached .PDF file.
