	Can CAM profiles/recipes reside in the SMC motion controller and how many separate points of data are possible? Posted Date: 01/21/2005 Answer: Yes. CAM profiles can reside in the SMC motion controller. Cams are stored in the special array memory using the ET commands, which can exist in the program or be saved to flash with the BN command. There are 257 (0-256) points/pairs per slave axis available for camming in the Legend-MC and the SMC-2000. The SMC-4000 has1025 (0-1024) points/pairs per axis available for camming. Cam data can be stored in a generic user array, then copied to the cam table at run time, allowing several different cam profiles to be selected. There are 8,000 array elements available in the SMC-3010 and SMC-2000, and 15,000 points available in the SMC-4000. Cam data may be calculated within the SMC application program, or in an Excel worksheet. If using the latter, the resulting data can be arranged into a command format (ET[1]=xxxxx) and copied into YTerm for download as part of a program. Recipe data can also be stored in one or many arrays, and selected by setting an index value at run time.

	Can cam data be imported into SigmaSelect when using Blend Mode in MotionWorks IEC Cam Editor? Posted Date: 12/15/2014 Answer: Blend Mode in MotionWorks IEC Cam Editor is used to create cam tables with three distinct sections: An entry cam, a running cam, and an exit cam. It is useful for application like rotary knives that may need to start and stop based on a sensor input. When sizing with SigmaSelect, the cam data from this type of cam is not useful because it does not properly refect the accelerations and decelerations that the mechanism undergoes. Only the running cam is imported into SigmaSelect. To size this type of application, it is best to simulate the worst-case conditions with a trapezoidal move. Usually the worst case scenario is a single cycle starting and ending at a complete stop.

	Can a smooth shaft Yaskawa motor be replaced with one that has keyway shaft? Posted Date: 01/04/2002 Answer: In most cases, yes. Motors with keyway shafts can be run with the key fitted, or without the key. The couplings that are used with smooth shaft motors are typically compression fitted. These couplings also fit well on motor shafts with keyway. If the user wishes to fill the keyway space, a half key may be installed in the shaft keyway. This half key is typically a full length rectangular key of half height. For information on couplings, please refer to the attached document.

	Can a single HMI be used to communicate to multiple controllers? Posted Date: 05/22/2001 Answer: If several controllers have the same communication protocol (such as Memobus for the Yaskawa MP9xx products), there are many HMIs which can communicate to multiple controllers using RS-485 multi-drop wiring. This forms an electronic network where the HMI acts as the communication master and the individual PLC/controller devices are slaves. Up to 32 nodes can be connected using this method. If a system has controllers using two different protocols, communication to both protocols is possible if the HMI supports "Dual-Driver" or "Multi-Driver" communications. Contact the HMI manufacturer directly to inquire about availability of this feature.

	Can a SGD7S Analog SERVOPACK in speed control with an analog voltage reference use a sequence input to change the running Servomotor direction? Posted Date: 02/15/2017 Answer: Yes. The SGD7S Analog SERVOPACK has added the ability to use the /SPD-D (Motor Direction Input) Signal in speed control with an analog voltage reference. See attachment for more detail. Note: You must allocate the /SPD-D signal to use it. Use Pn50C.0 (/SPD-D Signal Allocation) to allocate the signal to a connector pin.

	Can a servomotor be energized while it is moving? Posted Date: 07/31/2001 Answer: The SGDH amplifier will not energize a servomotor that is moving. Because of this, it is important to have proper brake timing, especially on vertical applications. The SGDH has a built-in holding brake interlock (/BK output) that is the safest and most reliable way to make sure that the holding brake is applied correctly. Example Situation: A customer wishes to use a simple digital output from a PLC to control his brake output (instead of the Yaskawa-recommended /BK output). The customer programs his PLC to remove the brake at the same time as he energizes his servo. If the brake releases before the motor is energized, gravity will cause the motor to coast downward. The SGDH will begin its attempt to energize the motor (digital display says "run"), but the amplifier will not allow the motor to be energized because it is moving. When the motor stops either by a hard stop or by external force, the SGDH will energize the motor. The motor will now be able to move as the controller commands. The solution to this situation is to hold the brake on longer to give the motor a chance to apply power. If the /BK output is used, the timing functions are all built-in to the SGDH. For more information on using the Holding Brake Interlock with the SGDH amplifier, consult the SGDH User's Manual (YEA-SIA-S800-32.2) section 5.4.4.

	Can an SGMJV-08A motor be driven by SGDV-2R8F 100V drive? Posted Date: 03/03/2015 Answer: The SGDV-2R8F, 100V input amplifier does not have enough bus capacitance to sustain rapid acceleration and to maintain acceptable ripple current level in such mismatch combination. Under-voltage alarm may occur during rapid acceleration. Further, the bus capacitance isn't designed to absorb excess regen during rapid deceleration. This may cause over-voltage alarms. Using in this manner will degrade the life of the bus capacitors, and may cause premature failure. This combination is not recommended.

	Can an MPiec Series Controller be programmed to measure the length a product passing on a conveyor? Posted Date: 03/10/2014 Answer: It is possible to use one sensor to capture the encoder position of the motor as it detects the leading and trailing edges of the product as it passes below the sensor. One will need to wire the sensor output to two separate high speed latch inputs on the Servopack and change the polarity of the active signal for one of them. Then use the MC_TouchProbe function block to capture the encoder positions. Finally, subtract the two captured positions to calculate the result. See the attached document for details.

	Can an EtherCAT Master monitor the external encoder position of an SGD7 EtherCAT SERVOPACK with a Fully-closed Module (SGDV-OFA01A)? Posted Date: 08/23/2021 Answer: Yes, the external encoder position of the encoder connected to the Fully-closed Module may be monitored. The encoder may be an incremental encoder or an absolute encoder. This function is available when a rotary motor is connected to the SERVOPACK. (This function is not available when a linear motor is connected to the SERVOPACK.) The SGD7 EtherCAT SERVOPACK with a Fully-closed Module (SGDV-OFA01A) can pass on the external encoder position so it can be monitored by an EtherCAT Master. Note: The functionality is only available when the SERVOPACK is in semi-closed operation (Pn002.3 = 0). To enable monitoring the external encoder, perform the following steps: Set Pn00E.3 = 1 or 3. “1” to use the external encoder in forward reference. “3” to use the external encoder in reverse reference. For absolute external encoders, set PnB9C = 1 so that the Electronic Gear Ratio in Pn210 and Pn20E is 1:1. (This may be updated in the future to remove this step, but it is required as of ECAT FW 8.14 across all Sigma-7 ECAT SERVOPACKS). Cycle power on the SGD7. Object 0x60E4:01 contains the external incremental encoder position. Also note that for absolute external encoders, one of the steps sets the EGR, so the master scaling may need to be changed on the master.

	Can a MCCB rated higher than the recommended rating, be installed ahead of a drive to supply the 3 phase power? Posted Date: 06/12/2014 Answer: This is not recommended. Rules for installing a MCCB are similar to input fusing. Too high of a value will not be safe enough to trip, in case of high amperage on the input of a drive. This could result in damage to the input semiconductor devices. Always use recommended branch circuit protection components according to NEC and/or manufacturer recommendations..

	At what uplink speeds is the MP2600iec controller capable of communicating? Posted Date: 09/22/2016 Answer: The MP2600iec uses 100Base-T (100Mbit/s) Ethernet speed. The MP2600iec is the only MPiec series controller that cannot inherently operate at both 10Base-T and 100Base-T speeds. In order to attain 10Base-T functionality with the MP2600iec, an Ethernet dual-speed hub or Network switch must be used. These devices make use of an internal two-port switch, bridging the 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s segments. These devices are available from third-party vendors such as NETGEAR, Linksys, or WAGO.

	A Siemens Apogee FLN option board is installed on GPD506 bypass drive so a run command can be initiated through network communications. After a safety circuit fault has been reset, the drive will not run again even though it has been commanded to. Why is this happening? Posted Date: 06/12/2014 Answer: This problem will occur while using Siemens Application 2712, if specific criteria is not met. The solution includes adding a wire within the bypass cabinet, and correctly setting up the Siemens command points for initiating a network run command. See attached for a detailed description of the solution.

	Are V1000 Options compatible with V1000-4X? Posted Date: 06/21/2010 Answer: Most V1000 options can be used with V1000-4X. Notable exceptions are the 24VDC Control Power Unit, MECHATROLINK-II Communications option card, and the EMC C3 Filter options. Also, any external power option (reactors, C1 filters, dynamic braking) and remote digital operators, while electrically compatible, likely require special mounting considerations due to the nature of the harsh environments in which the V1000-4X is generally mounted.
