	How are cam tables organized? Posted Date: 05/21/2001 Answer: The first point in the cam table is the number of master/follower pairs in the table. The subsequent points are the master and follower data points. If any master position is not found in the data table, the value will be interpolated from the nearest points. This interpolation is linear, so any "curved" sections of the cam table are actually made up from several small "straight-line" segments. The attached document, CamTable.pdf, will explain this function further.

	Hbb fault occurs with the H1,H2 and HC jumpered, what else could the issue be? Posted Date: 08/28/2012 Answer: A Hbb fault can be caused by improper use of the drives (S1-S8)digital inputs. If a customer is using the drives internal power supply and uses SC as the ground, this will cause a Hbb fault. Please use SN when using the drives internal voltage in sinking mode. (See attached.) As a note, the drive can utilize the 2 separate sources of power for the safety digital inputs and the (S1-S8) drive, but does not pertain to the Hbb alarm we discuss here.

	During a generator to line power switchover, Uv1 results. Restart is not attempted. A manual reset is required for drives running motors. The transfer takes less than a second. Is there any fix for this issue? Posted Date: 09/16/2013 Answer: Setting L2-01 (Momentary Power Loss Operation Selection) to setting 2: Enable while CPU is active. Enabling Power loss ride while CPU is active, causes a baseblock, a hard stop of the firing mechanisms to the motor. This prevents a Uv1 condition, and allows the drive to ramp up when the under volt condition is over. This fix may need speed search to be enabled, please see the related FAQ link for OL or OV after generator to line transfer for assistance.

	Do you need to have the Control Power on in order to use the Dynamic Braking features of the Sigma-5 Servopack? Posted Date: 03/06/2014 Answer: If the Control Power is turned off before the Servopack receives the SV_OFF command, then the stopping method will vary by the Servopack model. These models will stop their motors by coasting in this scenario: SGDV-330A, -470A, -550A, -590A, -780A, -280D, -370D. These models will stop their motors by using the dynamic brake in this scenario: All other Servopacks except: SGDV-330A, -470A, -550A, -590A, -780A, -280D, -370D. If the Main Power is turned off before the Servopack receives the SV_OFF command then the servomotor will be stopped by use of the dynamic brake functionality. If you wish to have the servomotor coast to a stop when the Main Power circuit or the Control Power circuit is turned off before the SV_OFF command is received, then you will have to use an external method to disconnect the UVW phases to the motor in this scenario. If the SV_OFF command is received before the Main Power circuit and the Control Power circuit are turned off then the stopping method can be controlled by parameters in the Servopack (PN001).

	Do Yaskawa drives have a lock-out prohibiting setting or changing of parameters? Posted Date: 06/08/2007 Answer: Yes, most all Yaskawa drives posses parameter security that helps prevent inadvertent setting changes. The instruction manuals for the drive explain this function in more detail. Use the following instructions to obtain write access for the drives described below: For the V7 drive: Parameter n001 controls the access to all of the parameters. A setting of "0" allows no parameters to be changed, while settings of "4" or '5' allow all parameters to be changed. Settings "1" through "3" are increments of the level of access allowed. For the P5 or PC5 or GPD506 drive: Parameter n001 controls the access to all of the parameters. A setting of "0" allows no parameters to be changed, while settings of "3" allows all parameters to be changed. Settings "1" and "2" are increments of the level of access allowed.

	Do Sigma II motors comply with standard NEMA flanges for mounting? Posted Date: 07/25/2005 Answer: The SGMAH series of Sigma II servo motors include three models (200W, 400W & 800W) with standard NEMA flanges. For smaller motors in this series, (30W, 50W & 100W) a NEMA flange adapter (Yaskawa # SGM-N23) is available to provide standard NEMA mounting. Shaft diameters of standard Sigma motors differ from the NEMA standard. When selecting a NEMA model, the shaft size changes to SAE sizing. For the 200W and 400W motors, the shaft diameter is .50" (12.7mm), and for the 800W motor, the shaft diameter is .625" (15.875mm). The following are Yaskawa NEMA part numbers for reference.

	Does Yaskawa supply an EDS file for the MP940D (DeviceNet)? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: Yes. However, the MP940D DeviceNet I/O is fully configurable (from one byte to 256 bytes in & one byte to 256 bytes out), and is considered a "communications adapter." An EDS file is not really necessary, because the MP940D does not have fixed I/O configuration, nor does it require explicit messaging for set-up. There are three example EDS files attached in the zip file. The first is the "official" EDS file that contains no data regarding I/O configuration. This is the file the ODVA certified file for the MP940D. The I/O must be configured properly in the MP940D and the attached Master (or slaves if the MP940D is the master). The second and third files were created as examples with Rockwell's DeviceNet manager software as stub files for the MP940D as a DeviceNet slave, with 8 bytes in/8 bytes out and 16 bytes in/16 bytes out, respectively. Again, the MP940D can be configured for any number of bytes in/out from one to 256. 1) MP940DNET.eds - Original EDS file for MP940/260-IF 2) mp940d_8bytes.eds - EDS stub that was created for 8 bytes in / 8 bytes out 3) mp940d_16bytes.eds - EDS stub that was created for 16 bytes in / 16 bytes out The MP940D supports Polled and Strobed I/O. Explicit Messaging is also available. However, some additional ladder code must be written to take advantage of this. Please refer to the MP940 Hardware manual [YEA-SIA-C887-4.1] for further configuration information. Currently, MotionWorks supports all of the above modes of operation. MotionWorks+ [Version 2.56] supports the above with two exceptions; 1) No Strobed I/O support, 2) No Explicit Messaging Support.

	Does Yaskawa sell the SGDM Sigma II amplifier in North America? Posted Date: 07/13/2004 Answer: The SGDM amplifier is a non-expandable Sigma II amplifier. It is sold only in Asia. However, the SGDH Sigma II amplifier is identical, except that the SGDH amplifier has a port on the side of the amplifier to interface with option cards such as the NS600 or MP940. If an imported machine (likely built in Asia) has an SGDM and needs a replacement amplifier, the SGDH can be used. It has exactly the same parameter set, runs exactly the same motors, and has exactly the same footprint. An expansion port protrudes 8mm from the side of the SGDH, but this is not a problem if the amplifiers were properly spaced (min. 10mm between amplifiers) in the cabinet. The part number for the SGDM amplifier follows this convention: SGDM-WWXYZ, where WW is the amplifier power rating (i.e. '04' for 400W or '55' for 5.5 kW), X is a letter determining input voltage (A= 200VAC, B=100VAC, D=400VAC), Y is the control code (usually 'D'), and Z is an optional revision level (usually either blank or 'A'). The replacement motor will be SGDH-wwxE, where ww is the same amplifier power rating and x is the same input voltage letter as the SGDM. For example, an SGDM-02BD would cross-reference to a SGDH-02BE and an SGDM-50ADA would cross to a SGDH-50AE.
