I have a machine that has a failed Yaskawa drive. The drive on the machine is a F7 model and is a 17 amp drive and I have a spare A1000 model that is a 31 amp drive.
This is on a center winder application and I wanted to see if I can use the 31 amp drive as it's a brand new spare that went to a machine we scrapped earlier in the year. If has encode feedback with the encoder built into the Baldor motor but since the encoder is so hard to change when it fails we do run it in encoder less mode until we have a scheduled shutdown.
I set it up on the bench and it appears to take the 10 HP drive and amp setting ok but I am not sure how it will control and this being a winder we need decent control.
Any tips?
