yaskawa servo pack question

[jeep534]

I have a yaskawa servo pack model SG DB-05ADG where might I find out how to test / make this thing work. I would like to use it to control the motor on the cnc conversion I am currently working on.

Archie,

Yaskawa has downloadable manuals on their website.

www.yaskawa.com

If you have specific questions, ask them here. I should be able to help you, I've worked with these drives quite a bit.

Scott, do you need special software to set up these drives? Is it freely downloadable?

I use the digital operator, but I found something called SigmaWin Lite on the Yaskawa site. This looks like a windows version of an old DOS program called SVMON that I used to use.

The servopack uses RS232 for communication, but not in a standard pinout. This means you will have to build a cable to connect the drive to your PC:

PC (9 pin) Drive
2 ----------- 2
3 ----------- 4
5 ----------- 14

Then on the PC side, connect 4 & 6 and 1 & 7 & 8.

Scott
