Reads the drive overload integral monitor and progressively reduces the frequency reference as the overload level rises. The example starts reducing the reference above 80% and reaches a 20% reduction at 100%, assuming lower speed reduces the load.

Project settings: GA700 Platform 3 (firmware ≥ 1021)

Introduces digital and analog I/O through a saw-control exercise with latched start commands, stop conditions, and frequency-reference control. The example combines pushbuttons and limit switches with run and baseblock commands.

Starts a solar-powered pump after sufficient DC bus voltage is available and stops it when the voltage falls below a configured threshold. A digital input enables the function, with voltage thresholds and a startup delay helping avoid undervoltage trips.

Reduces pump frequency when DC bus voltage falls, allowing a solar-powered pump to continue operating as available power decreases.

Extends the Controlled Saw example with a GA500 feeder controlled by a GA700 through MEMOBUS gateway mode and register read/write functions. The feeder speed follows the saw speed with an adjustable ratio. Interlocks prevent starting before the feeder is ready and stop the saw if the feeder fails to reach or maintain the required speed.

Builds additional on-delay timers from a shared pulse-driven counter and saved trigger times. The supplied program demonstrates two timers; resolution depends on the pulse source, and counter overflow limits uninterrupted operation.

Drive compatibility: V1000, A1000, U1000, GA500, GA700

Project settings: A1000

Switches the frequency reference from a remote analog input to local control using a digital input. The last remote reference is retained at the changeover to avoid an immediate reference step.

Measures resistance by using a drive analog output as a constant-current source and an analog input to measure the resulting voltage. The application note extends the method to RTD temperature sensors such as PT1000 and KTY, including a three-wire measurement arrangement.

Calculates wire length or load height from encoder counts, gear ratio, and drum diameter in closed loop vector mode. Rotor counts are retained in EEPROM across power loss, reducing the need for homing; homing is needed if the mechanism moves while unpowered or the encoder is decoupled.

Controls a GA700 crane in closed loop vector mode with a brake sequence, brake-release checking, and variable Ultra Lift. Run commands and frequency references can be supplied through digital inputs or communication registers. Zero-servo operation coordinates brake opening and closing.

Project settings: GA700 Platform 3 (firmware ≥ 1021)

Initiates controlled motor deceleration when a power outage is detected, for applications where kinetic energy buffering is unavailable. Automatic detection uses a DC bus voltage drop, while manual detection uses a digital input from an external relay. The program adjusts the deceleration ramp according to DC bus voltage.

Project settings: V1000, GA700 Platform 5 (firmware ≥ 1040)

Extends the CLV Positioning program with a PLC interface and optional Movicon visualization. A GA700 performs the position-control loop while the PLC supplies target position, speed, and positioning-window settings over PROFINET. The example supports homing, manual jog, automatic positioning, position holding, overtravel inputs, and a communication heartbeat. The documented setup uses a PG-X3 encoder option, SI-EP3 PROFINET option, and Yaskawa MICRO PLC.

Converts an NTC sensor signal from a voltage-divider circuit into temperature using a piecewise linear characteristic. Reverse PID control adjusts fan speed to maintain the desired temperature in a compressor-cooling application.

Monitors a heartbeat from a host using the drive USB interface for Modbus communication. If the heartbeat stops changing while the drive is operating, a DWEZ fault disables the output and coasts the motor to a stop after the configured timeout.

Increases motor losses during regenerative braking to absorb energy in the motor and reduce the load on the braking resistor. The function is intended for V/f control and requires suitable motor thermal protection and drive sizing for the increased current.

Project settings: GA500 Platform 2 (firmware ≥ 1013), GA700 Platform 4 (firmware ≥ 1028)

Retains the step motor-operated potentiometer output in EEPROM during power loss. At startup, the program reads the stored value, writes it to the SMOP reset parameter, and initializes the block so its output resumes at the saved value.

Raises output voltage as current increases to compensate for sine-wave filter losses in an onshore power supply. The V/f example calculates voltage boost from drive measurements and configured filter ratings; a supporting spreadsheet helps determine the settings.
