Yaskawa V1000 / A1000 / GA500 / GA800 TCP Modbus Or EtherCAT Communication Setup
Use this manual for setting up a new VFD.
For GA series drives make sure the Yaskawa Drive Wizard is updated to the most recent version.
Set these parameters from the front panel of the VFD and cycle power.
TCP Modbus
The default IP from the factor is 192.168.1.20. Each of those numbers is an octet, and we will be changing the third and fourth octet. The resulting IP address will be 192.168.208.90
(Some of this information is from Quick Start Settings for EtherNet IP and Modbus TCP/IP option cards with Short Video)
| Parameter Number | Parameter Description | Settings for Ethernet, PROFINET and Modbus TCP/IP |
| F7-03 | IP Address 3 | 208: Sets the third significant octet (001 is the default value) Example: 192.168.208.020 |
| F7-04 | IP Address 4 |
90: Sets the fourth significant octet (020 is the default value) (If multiple drives are present, see note at bottom.) |
| F7-13 | Address Mode at Startup | 0: Static 1: BOOTP 2: DHCP |
TCP Modbus Or EtherCAT
The six parameters below are usually set by Mach (sometimes).
- B1-01 : 3
- B1-02 : 3
- B1-08 : 1
- F6-01 : 0
- F6-03 : 0
- F6-14 : 1 (Cannot be changed from the front panel. Use Drive Wizard for this parameter)
-
O1-03 Frequency Display Unit Selection 1 : 0.01% units
1 on release later than 16161
For a A1000 or a GA500 or a GA800, also update the following parameters:
- H5-11 : 1 (Comm ENTER command not required)
If there is a delayed safety relay or if the safety relay is configured for fast stop wired to S7, you will need to set up the following:
(BOM Example: 
)
- H1-07: 17
- C1-09: 4 (Or to your deceleration time)
If nothing is connected to S7, set these parameters:
- H1-07: (Default or 0006)
Follow these instructions to change parameters in the drive:
1) Press down arrow until screen reads "PAR." Press Enter.
2. Press down arrow the screen reads "F7-01."
3. Press ">Reset" two times until "01" is flashing.
4. Press the up arrow until the value reads "13." Press Enter.
5. Use the arrow to change the value to "00." Press Enter. The screen will flash "End" and go back to the previous screen.
6. Use the moves in 4 and 5 to change the remaining parameters: (modbus only)
-Change F7-03 to "208"
-Change F7-04 to "90"
7. Press ESC until the "F" on the screen is flashing. Then, press the down arrow until the screen reads "b1-01."
8. Use the steps in 3 to 5 to change the remaining parameters:
-Change B1-01 to "3"
-Change B1-02 to "3"
-Change B1-08 to "1"
-Change F6-01 to "0"
-Change F6-03 to "0"
-Change F6-14 to "1"
9. Power cycle control and enclosure to reset VFD.
NOTE: For multiple V1000's, each drive will need it's own IP address. So, set the F7-04 parameter for each drive in ascending order (90, 91, 92.)
NOTE: For the B1-01 and B1-02 parameters, we ship many of our drives with an option card that requires them both be set to "3." But, if these settings trip an alarm, see manual to determine correct parameters.
Troubleshooting
RPM Not Changing
Is the RPM changing at all? No matter the value you set it to, it always stays the same?
Is the safety relay overriding it (S7 forcing the machine into jog mode for example)?
RPM Not Correct
View RPM command in Industrial Drive Wizard. Select Startup And Diagnostics tab and then Monitor Panel.
Select U1-01 to see the commanded output frequency and then select the Start button at the top.
You then can see the actual commanded frequency. For example, this VFD is commanded 5.66 % (not 5.66 RPM):
Check the Command_RPM under the Reg File. This should be the value in percentage or RPM... depending on what you have configured.
