drive size. This option can be inserted only into the CN5-A connector located on the drive
control board.
DANGER! Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not connect or disconnect wiring while the power is on. Failure to
comply could result in death or serious injury. Before installing the option, disconnect all power to the drive
and wait at least the amount of time specified on the drive front cover safety label. After all indicators are off,
measure the DC bus voltage to confirm safe level, and check for unsafe voltages before servicing. The
internal capacitor remains charged after the power supply is turned off.
1. Shut off power to the drive, wait the appropriate amount of time for voltage to
dissipate, then remove the digital operator (D) and front covers (C, F). Refer to the
Quick Start Guide packaged with the drive for directions on removing the front
covers. Cover removal varies depending on drive size.

Note: There are two screw holes on the drive for use as ground terminals (K). When connecting three
options, two ground wires will need to share the same drive ground terminal.
Depending on the drive model, some drives may require routing the wiring through
the side of the front cover to the outside to provide adequate space for the wiring.
Refer to the Peripheral Devices & Options section of the drive Quick Start Guide or
Technical Manual for more information on wire routing of specific models.
Route the wiring through the side of the front cover to the outside. In these cases,
using diagonal cutting pliers, cut out the perforated openings on the left side of the
drive front cover as shown in Figure 7-A. Sharp edges along the cut out should be
smoothed down with a file or sand paper to prevent any damage to the wires.
Route the wiring inside the enclosure as shown in Figure 7-B for drives that do not
require routing through the front cover.
Note: Separate communication cables from main circuit wiring and other electrical lines.

6. Connect the Ethernet communication cable to the option modular connector (CN1).
To connect the option to a network, insert the RJ45 communication connector of the
Cat 5e patch cable into the option modular female connector (CN1). Ensure the
cable end is firmly connected (see Figure 7).

The Modbus TCP/IP protocol is essentially the Modbus protocol over an Modbus TCP/IP
network. A master controller (typically a PLC) sends commands to slave devices, which
then perform the specified functions and send a response to the master. The drive using the
option has slave functionality.

■
Drive Modbus TCP/IP Option Registers
All of the command registers, monitor registers, and parameters documented in the drive
Technical Manual are accessible via the option.
Many of the registers required for control have been specially mapped to provide higher
speed access to increase network performance. Use these registers for the best response
times.
All of the drive command registers have been mapped to this high speed access area
(Modbus TCP/IP registers 01H to 01FH). In addition, the monitors shown in Table 8 are
mapped for high speed access.
The drive supports two types of Enter Commands as shown in the table below. An Enter
Command is enabled by writing 0 to register number 0900H or 0910H.
■Enter Commands
Table 9 Enter Command Types
Register NumberDescription
0900H
0910HWrites data in the RAM only. Parameter changes are lost when the drive is shut off.
Note: Because the EEPROM can be written to a maximum of 100,000 times, refrain from frequently
writing to the EEPROM. An Enter Command is not required if reference or broadcast data are
sent to the drive.
Writes data into the EEPROM (non-volatile memory) of the drive and enables the data to
RAM at the same time. Parameter changes remain even if the power supply is cycled.
◆ Enter Command Settings
When replacing earlier Yaskawa drive models with a 1000 Series drive and keeping the
MEMOBUS/Modbus communications settings, parameter H5-11 needs to be set in
accordance with how the Enter Command functions in the older drive. H5-11 determines if
an Enter Command is needed or not in order to activate parameter changes in the drive.
• If upgrading from a G7 or F7 series drive to 1000 Series, set parameter H5-11 to 0.
• If upgrading from a V7 series drive to 1000 Series, set parameter H5-11 to 1.
When the Enter Command is received from
the master.
Upper/lower limit check is performed
taking the settings of related parameters into
account.
Not affected. The settings of related
parameters remain unchanged. Parameters
must be changed manually if needed.
Data is accepted even if one setting is
invalid. The invalid setting will be
discarded. No error message occurs.
As soon as the value is changed.
The upper/lower limit of the changed
parameter is checked only.
The default settings of related parameters
are changed automatically.
Error occurs if only one setting is invalid.
All data sent is discarded.

The web server interface to the drive option allows management of diagnostic information
through a standard web browser. The embedded web pages include:
• Main page (Information)
• Drive Status page (Status, Monitor and Fault History)
• Network Monitor page (Network Monitor)
◆ Main Page (Information)
The embedded main page shows basic option information such as IP address, MAC address,
and firmware version. This page also shows the status of the option and provides links to the
other embedded web pages.

◆ Drive Status Page (Status, Monitor and Fault History)
The embedded drive status page shows basic I/O information and drive state information.
Drive-side error codes appear on the drive digital operator. Causes of the errors and
corrective actions are listed in Table 12. For additional error codes that may appear on the
drive digital operator, refer to the drive Technical Manual.
■Faults
Both bUS (Option communication error) and EF0 (External fault input from the option) can
appear as an alarm or as a fault. When a fault occurs, the digital operator ALM LED remains
lit. When an alarm occurs, the ALM LED flashes.
If communication stops while the drive is running, use the following questions as a guide to
help remedy the fault:
• Is the option properly installed?
• Is the communication line properly connected to the option? Is it loose?
• Is the controller program working? Has the controller/PLC CPU stopped?
• Did a momentary power loss interrupt communications?

• Check that power is supplied to the PLC
• Check that PLC is not in program mode
• Check for faulty wiring
• Correct any wiring problems
• Check the various options available to minimize the effects of noise
• Counteract noise in the control circuit, main circuit, and ground wiring
• If a magnetic contactor is identified as a source of noise, install a surge absorber to the
contactor coil
• Make sure the cable used meets the Modbus TCP/IP requirements
• Make sure the option ground wire is connected between option FE terminal and the
drive ground terminal connected to earth ground
If there are no problems with the wiring and the error continues to occur, replace the
option.
