The GII manuals from Yaskawa were not the best for learning that control, Actually
what they did back then is add a revised manual from the older g control for the GII
addition and made for confusing operation of that control.
You prolly have RS232, the 25 pin connector somehow was engineered ass backwards
Look for board inside door near tape reader, should have board labeled "Gifo2", I rarely see
these without that opion
You really need somebody who know that control to show you the ropes, Its very user friendly, The manuals are not.
The first thing I would suggest doing before even tacking machine operation
is have a tech check the transformer taps to see if they are set to your
shop supplied power, if incorrect, the machine can lose a drive rendering it useless
If you like, I can run you though some of the procedures by phone, I have helped many many people get these up and running
