Yaskawa Drives and Allen Bradley

[chuck]

We have been using Allen Bradley Powerflex drives, but one of our customers has just specced Yaskawa. Are these any good? Are they easy to use with Allen Bradley PLCs? Which connection should I use, DeviceNet, Profibus or ethernet? Anyone any experience on this?

Yaskawa is the largest supplier of Drives in the World and are part of many solutions with Allen Bradley PLCs. The connection you use depends on the network or architecture of the application, most likely DeviceNet or Ethernet/IP. Profibus is supported too.

If you have further questions, I am here to help.
