-
Comprehensive Protection FunctionsIntegrates full-spectrum protection against overcurrent, overvoltage, overheating, undervoltage, and phase sequence errors, significantly enhancing the operational safety of the entire system.
-
Strong CompatibilitySupports Yaskawa’s commonly used servo motor series (e.g., Σ‑Series, S‑Series), facilitating seamless upgrades of existing automation systems without extensive reconfiguration.
-
Easy IntegrationFeatures a standard 19-inch rack-mount design and unified terminal blocks, enabling quick wiring and on-site commissioning to reduce integration time and labor costs.
Structure & Components
-
Power Module Main BodyInternally incorporates power semiconductor (IGBT/MOSFET) bridge inverters, rectifier and filter circuits, and a dedicated heat dissipation system to ensure stable power conversion.
-
Control UnitBuilt-in DSP/microprocessor enables real-time calculation of motion commands and closed-loop control, ensuring fast response to dynamic load changes.
-
Encoder InterfaceA dedicated serial interface card connects to the incremental encoder, providing high-speed counting and accurate position feedback for precise motion regulation.
-
Terminal BlocksClassified into power terminals, phase terminals, encoder terminals, and signal communication terminals (e.g., EtherCAT, PROFINET) for clear and organized wiring.
-
Heat Dissipation DeviceEquipped with an internal fan or passive heat sink to maintain the operating temperature within a safe range during full-load operation.
Installation & Maintenance Guidelines
Pre-Installation Inspection
- Verify that the cabinet dimensions comply with the 19-inch rack standard and reserve adequate space for heat dissipation to prevent thermal accumulation.
- Check that the power phase sequence, rated voltage, and grounding configuration meet the product specifications to avoid electrical faults.
Wiring Essentials
- Follow the wiring diagram in the product manual to connect power cables, phase cables, encoder cables, and communication cables to their respective terminal blocks, avoiding cross-connection or miswiring.
- Use cables compliant with IEC standards for high-power phase lines and ensure the wire gauge is sufficient to handle the rated current, preventing overheating due to insufficient conductivity.
Commissioning Procedures
- Perform a no-load check before powering on to confirm that all indicator lights function normally and no error codes are displayed.
- Use Yaskawa’s dedicated commissioning software (e.g., SigmaWin+) to configure key parameters, including rated current, acceleration/deceleration time, and encoder resolution.
- Conduct closed-loop tests to verify that the torque and speed response align with the design requirements before putting the system into formal operation.
Routine Maintenance
- Regularly inspect the cooling fan or heat sink for dust accumulation and clean it promptly to maintain optimal heat dissipation efficiency.
- Inspect all electrical connections every 6–12 months to ensure terminal screws are tight and free from loosening, which may cause poor contact.
- Monitor the operation log regularly and address alarm messages such as overcurrent and overheating in a timely manner to prevent potential system failures.
Troubleshooting
-
Overcurrent/OverheatingCheck if the load exceeds the rated power. If necessary, enhance heat dissipation measures or reduce the operating speed to bring the load within the rated range.
-
Encoder Signal LossVerify the integrity and connection reliability of the encoder cable. If the issue persists, replace the encoder or inspect the cable shielding for damage.
-
Communication AbnormalitiesTroubleshoot the network wiring, IP address configuration, and protocol compatibility to restore stable data transmission between the servo drive and the control system.
