Write Base Parameters to Yaskawa VFD

Warning: On a VFD with modbus control, most of VFD parameters are downloaded automatically so only use this process for advanced or custom options.

Install/Open Yaskawa DriveWizard

1) Open the MachMotion Programs and Drivers shortcut on the desktop and select Drive Wizard Industrial and skip to step 5.  If the drive wizard is not installed on the control, proceed with step 2.

2) On the MachMotion server, Go to Production->Products->Spindles->VFDs->Yaskawa->V1000->sw.dw.30.

7) Go back to "Drive Selection."

8) Click "Connect to Drive / Go Online."
