DANGER

Electrical Shock Hazard

Do not examine, connect, or disconnect wiring on an energized drive. Before servicing, disconnect all power to the equipment and wait for the time specified on the warning label at a minimum. The internal capacitor stays charged after the drive is de-energized. The charge indicator LED extinguishes when the DC bus voltage decreases below 50 Vdc. When all indicators are OFF, measure for dangerous voltages to make sure that the drive is safe.

If you do work on the drive when it is energized, it will cause serious injury or death from electrical shock.

Disconnect all power to the drive and wait for the time specified on the warning label before you remove covers. Check the drive for dangerous voltages before servicing or repair work.

If you do work on the drive when it is energized and there is no cover over the electronic circuits, it will cause serious injury or death from electrical shock. The drive has internal capacitors that stay charged after you deenergize the drive.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

The motor will run after you de-energize the drive. PM motors can generate induced voltage to the terminal of the motor after you de-energize the drive.

If you touch a motor that is moving or energized, it can cause serious injury or death.

Do not operate the drive when covers are missing. Replace covers and shields before you operate the drive. Use the drive only as specified by the instructions.

Some figures in this section include drives without covers or safety shields to more clearly show the inside of the drive. If covers or safety shields are missing from the drive, it can cause serious injury or death.

Always ground the motor-side grounding terminal.

If you do not ground the equipment correctly, it can cause serious injury or death if you touch the motor case.

Only let approved personnel install, wire, maintain, examine, replace parts, and repair the drive.

If personnel are not approved, it can cause serious injury or death.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when you do work on the drive. Tighten loose clothing and remove all metal objects, for example watches or rings.

Loose clothing can catch on the drive and jewelry can conduct electricity and cause serious injury or death.

Fire Hazard

Tighten all terminal screws to the correct tightening torque.

Connections that are too loose or too tight can cause incorrect operation and damage to the drive. Incorrect connections can also cause death or serious injury from fire.

Damage to Equipment

Do not apply incorrect voltage to the main circuit of the drive. Operate the drive in the specified range of the input voltage on the drive nameplate.

Voltages that are higher than the permitted nameplate tolerance can cause damage to the drive.

Fire Hazard

Do not put flammable or combustible materials on top of the drive and do not install the drive near flammable or combustible materials. Attach the drive to metal or other noncombustible material.

Flammable and combustible materials can start a fire and cause serious injury or death.

1.1 Section Safety

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Do not modify the drive body or drive circuitry.

Modifications to drive body and circuitry can cause serious injury or death, will cause damage to the drive, and will void the warranty. Yaskawa is not responsible for modifications of the product made by the user.

Sudden Movement Hazard

Make sure that you align the phase order for the drive and motor when you connect the motor to drive output terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3.

If the phase order is incorrect, it can cause the motor to run in reverse. If the motor accidentally runs in reverse, it can cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION

Burn Hazard

Do not touch a hot drive heatsink. De-energize the drive, wait for a minimum of 15 minutes, then make sure that the heatsink is cool before you replace the cooling fans.

If you touch a hot drive heatsink, it can burn you.

NOTICE

Damage to Equipment

When you touch the drive and circuit boards, make sure that you observe correct electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures.

If you do not follow procedures, it can cause ESD damage to the drive circuitry.

Use the instructions in this manual to replace the cooling fans. When you do maintenance on the fans, replace all the fans to increase product life.

If you install the fans incorrectly, it can cause damage to the drive.

Make sure that all connections are correct after you install the drive and connect peripheral devices.

Incorrect connections can cause damage to the drive.

Do not energize and de-energize the drive more frequently than one time each 30 minutes.

If you frequently energize and de-energize the drive, it can cause drive failure.

Do not operate a drive or connected equipment that has damaged or missing parts.

You can cause damage to the drive and connected equipment.

Note:

Do not use unshielded cable for control wiring. Use shielded, twisted-pair wires and ground the shield to the ground terminal of the drive. Unshielded wire can cause electrical interference and unsatisfactory system performance.

1.2 Inspection

Power electronics have limited life and can show changes in performance and deterioration of performance after years of use in usual conditions. To help prevent these problems, it is important to do preventive maintenance and regular inspection, and replace parts on the drive.

Drives contain different types of power electronics, for example power transistors, semiconductors, capacitors, resistors, fans, and relays. The electronics in the drive are necessary for correct motor control.

Follow the inspection lists in this chapter as a part of a regular maintenance program.

Note:

Examine the drive one time each year at a minimum.

The operating conditions, environmental conditions, and use conditions will have an effect on the examination frequency for connected equipment.

Examine the drive more frequently if you use the drive in bad conditions or in these conditions:

• High ambient temperatures

• Frequent starting and stopping

• Changes in the AC power supply or load

• Too much vibration or shock loading

• Dust, metal dust, salt, sulfuric acid, or chlorine atmospheres

• Unsatisfactory storage conditions.

◆ Recommended Daily Inspection

Table 1.1 gives information about the recommended daily inspection for Yaskawa drives. Examine the items in Table

1.1 each day to make sure that the components do not wear out or fail. Make a copy of this checklist and put a check

mark in the “Checked” column after each inspection.

The keypad battery voltage is low. Replace the keypad battery.

The smartphone or tablet with DriveWizard Mobile installed is too far from the keypad.

Radio waves from a different device are causing interference with communications between the smartphone or tablet and keypad.

The duty cycle of the braking transistor is high (the regeneration power or repetition frequency is high).

You enabled the protective function for the braking transistor when you have a regenerative converter.

The braking transistor in the drive is broken. Replace the drive.

The drive did not receive a signal from the controller.

The communications cable wiring is incorrect.

There is a short-circuit in the communications cable or the communications cable is not connected.

Electrical interference caused a communication data error.

The option is incorrectly installed to the drive. Correctly install the option to the drive.

The option is damaged. If the fault continues and the wiring is correct, replace the option.

The communications cable wiring is incorrect. Correct wiring errors.

There is a short circuit in the communications cable or the communications cable is not connected.

Use the smartphone or tablet 10 m (32.8 ft) or nearer to the keypad.

Note:

bCE can occur when the smartphone or tablet is 10 m (32.8 ft) or nearer to the keypad depending on the specifications of the smartphone or tablet.

Make sure that no device around the keypad uses the same radio bandwidth (2400 MHz to 2480 MHz), and prevent radio interference.

• Install a regenerative converter.

• Increase the deceleration time.

Set L8-55 = 0 [Internal DB TransistorProtection Selection = Disable].

Correct wiring errors.

• Repair short circuits and connect cables.

• Replace the defective communications cable.

• Examine the control circuit lines, main circuit lines, and ground

wiring, and decrease the effects of electrical interference.

• Make sure that a magnetic contactor is not the source of the

electrical interference, then use a Surge Protective Device if necessary.

• Use only the recommended cables or other shielded line. Ground

the shield on the controller side or the drive input power side.

• Separate the communication wiring from drive power lines, and

install a noise filter to the input side of the power supply for communication.

• Decrease the effects of electrical interference from the controller.

• Repair short circuits and connect cables.

• Replace the defective communications cable.
