How to avoid error codes in Yaskawa servo drives?

To avoid error codes in Yaskawa servo drives, the following aspects can be focused on:
Correct Selection and Installation
Reasonable Selection: Based on factors such as the load characteristics, motion requirements, and precision requirements of the actual application, select the appropriate model and specification of Yaskawa servo drives and the supporting motors. Ensure that their performance can meet the work requirements, and avoid problems such as overloading and overheating of the drive caused by improper selection.
Correct Installation: Install the drive strictly in accordance with the installation instructions, and ensure that the installation environment meets the requirements, such as environmental temperature, humidity, vibration and other conditions. At the same time, ensure that the wiring of the drive is correct, including the connection of power lines, signal lines, encoder lines, etc. Avoid situations such as loose wiring, short circuits, and open circuits.
Parameter Setting and Adjustment
Accurate Parameter Setting: Before use, correctly set various parameters of the drive according to the specifications of the motor, load conditions, control requirements, etc., such as speed loop gain, position loop gain, acceleration and deceleration time, etc. Incorrect parameter setting may lead to problems such as system instability, vibration, and overshoot, which may in turn trigger error codes.
Optimized Parameter Adjustment: During the actual operation process, make appropriate optimized adjustments to the parameters according to the operation status and performance of the equipment. You can observe the operation of the motor, such as speed, position accuracy, torque, etc. through trial operation, debugging and other methods, and gradually adjust the parameters to make the system reach the best operation state.
Power Supply and Environment Management
Stable Power Supply: Ensure the stability of the power supply voltage of the drive, and avoid situations such as voltage fluctuations, overvoltage, and undervoltage. Equipment such as voltage stabilizers and UPS can be used to stabilize the power supply. At the same time, pay attention to whether the capacity and power of the power supply meet the requirements of the drive.
Good Environmental Conditions: Keep the working environment of the drive clean, dry, and well-ventilated. Avoid dust, oil, moisture, etc. from entering the interior of the drive, which may affect its normal operation. At the same time, prevent the drive from being affected by strong electromagnetic interference. Measures such as shielding and grounding can be taken to reduce interference.
Maintenance and Upkeep
Regular Inspections: Regularly inspect the drive, including appearance inspection, wiring inspection, heat dissipation inspection, etc. Check whether the casing of the drive is damaged or deformed, whether the wiring is loose, and whether the radiator is blocked. Discover and deal with potential problems in a timely manner to avoid the occurrence of failures.
Cleaning and Maintenance: Regularly clean the drive to remove surface dust and oil stains. At the same time, check whether the cooling fan of the drive is operating normally to ensure good heat dissipation. For drives that run for a long time, vulnerable parts such as cooling fans can be replaced regularly.
Software Updates: Pay attention to the software update information of the drive released by Yaskawa in a timely manner. Update the firmware of the drive as needed to fix possible software vulnerabilities and problems, and improve the stability and performance of the drive.
Operation and Usage Specifications
Operator Training: Provide professional training to the operators using the drive, so that they are familiar with the operation methods, parameter settings, fault handling and other knowledge of the drive, and avoid the occurrence of error codes in the drive due to misoperation.
Follow Operating Procedures: Develop strict operating procedures and require operators to operate in strict accordance with the procedures when using the drive, such as the correct power-on and power-off sequence, and avoid frequent starting and stopping of the drive.
