This is a little OT but I'm looking for anyone with experience with the Yaskawa Sigma 5 servo drives. We've had some servo drive and motor failures and are trying to choose a replacement.
We've got several 2006-era servos in service that were called "XtraDrive"; they were a version of the Yaskawa Sigma II build/sold by the YET joint venture. 480V 3-phase, 1.5 kw, so they're pretty small.
These get a torque reference over an RS-422 daisy-chain from a Prosoft MVI56-MCM module in an SLC-5/05 control system.
For a replacement, Yaskawa recommended a SGDV-5R4D01A drive, which is an Analog-reference model. It does have a CN10 connector for connection over serial to a display module or SigmaWin+ software, which is how we've sent serial commands before.
Does anyone know if the Sigma 5 Analog servodrives can accept their torque reference over the serial connection, or if it literally has to be a 0-10V signal ?
I'm reading application notes and considering other drives, too, including Kinetix 300 and Yaskawa Sigma5 MP2600IEC. But I figured I'd ask.
