1 System Overview
This section provides an overview of DriveWizard Plus and various features of the software
1.1 DriveWizard Plus Overview and Functions
DriveWizard Plus is a powerful engineering tool designed for advanced application setup and for
performing maintenance tasks on a Yaskawa drive.
The advanced functionality of DriveWizard Plus assists all users with powering up the drive, test
running the application, or performing maintenance.
Main functions:
・ Editing parameters while taking advantage of useful help information
・ Displaying drive operation status (I/O signals, internal status information, etc.) as well as product
information
・ Troubleshooting features, including possible causes for problems and other help options
・ Test running the drive and application (both manual and pattern operation)
・ Auto-Tuning features to optimize parameter settings
・ Oscilloscope function.
NOTE: Some DriveWizard Plus functions may not be applicable for the specific drive model
being used. Such functions will not be available when displayed in the menu toolbars.
There are two ways to connect the drive to DriveWizard Plus.
Normal Connection (Drive Only)
Connects the drive directly to DriveWizard Plus using an RS-232C communications cable.
To connect a different drive, unplug the communications cable from the drive that is currently
connected and connect it to the other drive.
Controller Connection
DriveWizard Plus can also operate a drive running from an upper controller using a
MECHATROLINK communication cable.
Connecting DriveWizard Plus to an upper controller makes it possible for DriveWizard Plus to
operate multiple drives running on the same network, without needing to switch or connect new
serial communication cables.

・ Try shortening the length of the com cable
・ Use a twisted pair shielded line
・ Check the length of the com cable (RS-232C: 3 m max).
If DriveWizard Plus still has difficulty connecting to the drive after verifying all of the items
listed above, check the following:
・ Are the communication-related parameters in the drive set for use with DriveWizard Plus?
・ Remember that any changes to communication-related parameters in the drive require that power
be cycled in the drive for those new setting changes to take effect. Proper cycling of power means
that LED indicators on the operator must completely extinguish before the power supply back on.

Increase the number of node addresses.
If it is not possible to increase the number of
addresses, take the following steps:
• Delete the configuration set for the drive axes.
Note that this will clear parameter values that may
have been set for axis configuration.
•Set up the drives again for DriveWizard Plus.
Check the MECHATROLINK-II wiring.
• Wire the MECHATROLINK-II communication cable
correctly.
• Connect a terminator correctly.
• Take steps to reduce noise.
This might include changing the MEHCATROLINK-II
communication cable or FG wiring, or using a ferrite
core for the communication cable.
NOTE: If DriveWizard Plus still does not properly display the drives that are connected after
going through the check list above, then try the following:
・ Make sure the drive’s parameters for serial communications and the SVB module setting
match.
・ If any changes have been made to communication-related parameters, then power to the
drive needs to be cycled to enable those changes. Note that the LED display on the drive
needs to go out completely when shutting off the power.
