[Drive installation position]
The GA500 is different in mounting hole size from conventional drives but can be
installed with M4 screws similarly to the V1000.
Only the UL Type 1 (enclosed wall-mounted type) is different in H dimension from
conventional drives.
You should confirm the installation space. For the dimensions of your current drive, see
Section 4 of this document.
[Keypad (operator) installation position]
* Keypad (operator) that comes with the drive
Different in dimensions and installation position from conventional drives
If there is a display panel cut-out on the control panel, you should change the panel
cut-out dimensions and the installation position of the drive.
* Remote control keypad (operator)
Since the remote control keypad for the GA500 is not compatible with conventional
ones (including the V1000 remote control operator), you should purchase the new one
and change the panel cut-out dimensions.
Since the attachment for installing the keypad on the control panel is also not
compatible with conventional ones (including the V1000's attachment for installing the
operator on the control), you should purchase the new one.
[Special specs]
Check the delivery specifications to confirm that your current drive does not have any
customized spec such as NP, special shaping, or special processing.
Main
circuit
[Main circuit lines (including earth wires as well)]
The GA500 is different in the main circuit terminal block position and arrangement
sequence than conventional drives.
If the main circuit wiring has no room to accommodate additional wires, consider
replacing the entire wiring or extend the wiring.
[Main circuit terminal block specs]
The GA500 uses European terminals as the main circuit terminals and thus does not
allow the connection of wires with closed-loop crimp terminals. You should remove the
crimped portions and bare wires again.
The GA500 is different in terminal shape and size than conventional drives.
For the details of the terminals used in your current drive, see Section 3-1 of this
document.
Control
Circuit
[Control circuit lines]
The GA500 is different in the control circuit terminal block position and arrangement
sequence than conventional drives.
If the control circuit wiring has no room to accommodate additional wires, consider
replacing the entire wiring or extend the wiring.
[Control circuit terminal block specs]
The GA500 is different in terminal quantity, shape, and size than conventional drives.
For the details of the terminals used in your current drive, see Section 3-2 of this
document.
Software
Software
[Presence of customized software]
Check that the software version of your current drive is that of Yaskawa standard
software. If whether or not it is standard software is unknown, contact Yaskawa to tell the
software version of your current drive.
