So it turns out that the drive works just fine with the hand held operator ( Thanks mactec54 !) and I firmly agree that these drives were not meant to be used with the sigmawin software. If others...

So got rid of the exception and motor is powered and is on "standby", I still don't quite understand how the pulse generation pins (20-24) need to be hooked up.

Power is finished and hooked up to drive, motor is hooked up to drive. I have a tower that has an RS-232 port and have updated it's settings to match what the SGDA-08AS needs (9600, 7 bit, even...

So it looks like power should be finished Monday morning, then we attack!

I spoke with tech support concerning the input power and was told "you should be able to communicate with the drive but will not be able to run the servo using 120 VAC" and at this point all I am...

So it turns out I should be able to at least communicate with the drive via 120 VAC but not run the servo. We are in the process of having 220 brought into the office and have also been told that it...

Yes, I actually have both USB-RS232 and USB-RS422 cables. According to Yaskawa it should be able to communicate either way but in the specs it does mention RS422 specifically which is what I am using.

Thank you, I am glad to be here! There appears to be quite a wealth of knowledge to tap into and hopefully I can contribute where applicable.

Yes I am using 120 VAC ( the drive can use either 200-230 single phase or 110-115 single phase) and the servo is connected. I was able to get the alarm light off by applying 24VDC to pins 34 and 35...

Hi Group,

I have a Yaskawa SGDA-08AS Servopack that I am trying to use to control a Yaskawa SGM-08A314SP servo motor. I am trying to establish communication between my PC and the Servopack using...
