Yaskawa V1000 Blade Programming

Programing a Yaskawa V1000 Drive

There are likely 5 Yaskawa V1000s on your Retro C, (2) on the stationary side and (3) on the carriage side. Each Yaskawa V1000 talks to a VC-1 and has its own specific address and that is what we are going to be programing into the unit in this document.

Yaskawa V1000 Parameters
H5-01	Varies, check the “address” column of the table below
H5-02	04 (same for all blades)
H5-03	01 (same for all blades)

Blade Number	Address
Blade #1 (DR1)	01
Blade #2 (DR2)	02
Blade #6 (DR3) (Not Installed)	03
Blade #3 (DR17)	11
Blade #4 (DR18)	12
Blade #5 (DR19)	13

In this example we are going to be programing blade #5 so we will want to give it the address 13. If you are reprograming one of the other blades, see the table above for the corresponding address number.

Steps

1. Determine which blade you want to reprogram and find the corresponding Yaskawa V1000 unit. If you want to program blade 5 look for “DR19” on the wires going into the unit or look for the label “DR 19” below the Yaskawa unit on the frame of the carriage panel itself.
2. On the unit press the up or down arrow until the letters PAr show on the LED screen.
3. Press Enter
4. Press the up or down arrow until the letter “H” shows.
5. Press Enter
6. Press the up or down arrow until the number “5” is shown, next to the “H”
7. Press Enter
8. Press the up or down arrow until the number “01” is shown, next to “H5-”
9. Press Enter
10. H5-01 will disappear and you will be shown two digits. On the first digit press the up or down arrow until 1 is displayed.
11. Press the > “reset” button once and this will move the cursor over to the second digit. Press the up or down arrows until “3” is displayed.
12. Press Enter.
13. The words “End” will display briefly and then you will be sent back to the screen and the number H5-01 will be flashing
14. Press the up or down arrow until H5-02 is flashing
15. Press Enter
16. For H5-02 we want to input the number 04 so select “0” for the first digit and press enter
17.  Press the > “reset” to move to the second digit and press the up or down arrow to select the number “4”
18. The words “End” will display briefly and then you will be sent back to the screen and the number H5-02 will be flashing
19. Press the up or down arrow until H5-03 is flashing
20. Press Enter
21. For H5-03 we want to input the number 01 so select “0” for the first digit and press enter
22.  Press the > “reset” to move to the second digit and press the up or down arrow to select the number “1”
23. Press Enter
24. You are now done

Loss of communication

The V1000 will lose communications some times in order to solve this the V1000 must be power cycled by turning it off and waiting until the red light goes out on the left side.

When the power comes back on the communication will normally resume.
