5 Installation Procedure
u
Installing the Option
Remove the front covers of the drive before installing the option. Refer to the drive Quick
Start Guide for directions on removing the front covers. Cover removal varies depending on
drive size. This option can be inserted only into the CN5-A connector located on the drive
control board.
Preparing the Drive
Shut off power to the drive, wait the appropriate amount of time for voltage to
1.
dissipate, then remove the digital operator (B) and front covers (A, D). Front cover
removal varies by model.
DANGER! Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not connect or disconnect wiring while the power is on.
Failure to comply will result in death or serious injury. Before installing the option, disconnect all
power to the drive. The internal capacitor remains charged even after the power supply is turned
off. The charge indicator LED will extinguish when the DC bus voltage is below 50 Vdc. To prevent

level to confirm safe level.
NOTICE: Damage to Equipment. Observe proper electrostatic discharge procedures (ESD) when
handling the option, drive, and circuit boards. Failure to comply may result in ESD damage to
circuitry.
Figure 3 Remove the Front Covers and Digital Operator
With the front covers and digital operator removed, apply the LED label (C) in the
2.
appropriate position on the drive top front cover (A).
Connect the ground wire (G) to the ground terminal (H) using one of the remaining
2.
provided screws (F). Connect the other end of the ground wire (G) to the remaining
ground terminal and installation hole on the option (M) using the last remaining
provided screw (F) and tighten both screws to 0.5 ~ 0.6 N m or (4.4 ~ 5.3 in lbs).
Figure 6 Connect the Ground Wire
Wiring the Option
18
Note:There are two screw holes on the drive for use as ground terminals. When connecting three
options, two ground wires will need to share the same drive ground terminal.
Route the option wiring.
1.
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. In
these cases, using diagonal cutting pliers, cut out the perforated openings on the left
side of the drive front cover. 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 communication wiring inside the enclosure for drives that do not require
routing through the front cover. Refer to Table 5 and Figure 7 to determine the proper
wire routing by drive model.
Figure 10 Connecting Multiple Drives to a BACnet Workstation – System Overview
The two ends of the BACnet network must be terminated with a 120 ohm resistor between
the “+” and “-” and signals. The SI-B3 has a built in termination resistor that can be enabled
or disabled using DIP switch S1. If a drive is located at the end of a network line, enable the
termination resistor by setting DIP switch S1 to the ON position. Disable the termination
resistor on all slaves that are not located at the end of the network line by setting DIP switch
S1 to the OFF position (The factory setting for DIP switch S1 is OFF).
Replace and secure the front covers of the drive (A, D) and replace the digital operator
1.
(B).
Figure 11 Replace the Front Covers and Digital Operator
Note:Take proper precautions when wiring the option so that the front covers will easily fit back onto
u
the drive. Make sure no cables are pinched between the front covers and the drive when
replacing the covers.
BACnet Node Addressing
The BACnet node address is configurable by parameter F6-45 in the drive. This defines the
physical address of the drive on the MS/TP network. In addition, both the Device Object
Instance Identifier (parameters F6-48 and F6-49) and the Device Object Name are
configurable. These allow the drive to have a virtual address and simplify the controller
configuration.
After setting the addressing, a controller can initiate communication to the drive. The drive
will perform the specified function and then send a response back to the controller. The drive
will usually respond immediately, but may delay its response until it gets the token for
commands that may take extra local processing time.
For easy network implementation of drives equipped with the SI-B3 option, an EPIC file can
be obtained from:
U.S.: http://www.yaskawa.com
Other areas: Contact a Yaskawa representative.
Refer to BACnet Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) on page 42
The following parameters are used to set up the drive for operation with the option. Parameter
setting instructions can be found in the drive Quick Start Guide or Technical Manual.
Confirm proper setting of the all parameters in Table 6 before starting network
communications. After changing parameter settings, cycle power to the drive for the new
settings to take effect.

Controlling the Drive
Table 8 Setting Parameters for Drive Control from BACnet
To prevent a communications overrun in the slave drive, the master should wait a certain time
between sending messages to the same drive. In the same way, the slave drive must wait before
sending response messages to prevent an overrun in the master. This section explains the
message timing.
u
Command Messages from Master to Drive
The master must wait for a specified time between receiving a response and resending the
same type of command to the same slave drive to prevent overrun and data loss. The minimum
wait time depends on the command as shown in Table 9.

If the drive receives a command from the master, it will process the data received and wait
for the time set in F6-47 until it responds. Increase F6-47 if the drive response causes overrun
in the master.
The Present Value (PV) of BACnet objects can be read. In addition, some PVs can be written
or commanded. A commandable PV is similar to writing the value, but the value is actually
written into a priority array. The value occupying the highest priority in the array will be used
by the drive. The convention for showing how the PV is accessed is shown in Table 10 and
will be noted for the PV of each object.

The Device Object fully describes the BACnet device to the network. Notable is that the
Device Object Instance ID and the Device Object Name are configurable.
The Device Object Instance ID is a unique internetwork-wide numerical value. It is a 22-bit
value that can range from 0 to 4,194,303. It is configurable by parameters F6-48 and F6-49.
Any changes to these parameters will not take effect until the power is cycled to the drive.
The Device Object Name is a unique internetwork-wide character string. It is a 20-character
string. It is writable from the BACnet network. Any new string written will not take effect
until the power is cycled to the drive.
11 Accessing Drive Parameters and the Enter Command
u
Enter Command
Enter Commands are only required when using AV29 and AV30 to write drive parameters.
An Enter command is not required when reading or writing to the other BACnet objects.
When writing parameters to the drive from a controller using BACnet communications, an
Enter command must be issued to enable these parameters. This section describes the types
and functions of the Enter commands.
Enter Command Types
n
The drive supports two types of Enter commands as shown in Table 18.
Table 18 Enter Command Types
BACnet ObjectModbus AddressDescription
BV55 (Write “ON”)0910H (bit 0)
BV56 (Write “ON”)0900H (bit 0)
Note:The EEPROM can only be written to 100,000 times, so it is recommended to limit the number of times
writing to the EEPROM. The Enter command registers 0900H and 0910H are write-only and if these
registers are read, the register address will be invalid. However, BACnet objects BV55 and BV56 can
be read without error.
Writes data in the active RAM only. Parameter changes are lost
when the drive is shut off.
Simultaneously writes data into the EEPROM (non-volatile
memory) of the drive and enables the data in active RAM.
Parameter changes remain after cycling power.
Product Description: The Yaskawa SI-B3 BACnet option connects an A1000 Drive to a
standard BACnet MS/TP network. The A1000 may be fully controlled and monitored over
