EEPROM Memory DWEZ Data Error

Yaskawa · GA500 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

What does dWF1 mean?

This fault indicates an issue with the EEPROM's peripheral circuit or corrupted DriveWorksEZ program data saved to the EEPROM. This can lead to incorrect drive operation or parameter settings and prevent the drive from functioning as intended.

Common Causes

  • Corrupted DriveWorksEZ program logic or parameter data stored in the EEPROM.
  • Electrical noise or transient voltage spike during an EEPROM write operation.
  • Degradation or failure of the EEPROM memory chip itself, leading to data read/write issues.
  • Peripheral circuit malfunction affecting EEPROM read/write operations (e.g., faulty voltage regulator).

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    1. Power cycle the drive and re-attempt DriveWorksEZ program download to the EEPROM.

  2. 2

    2. Verify input supply voltage stability at L1, L2, L3 terminals using a multimeter during drive operation.

  3. 3

    3. Back up all current drive parameters using DriveWorksEZ software or a parameter unit.

  4. 4

    4. Initialize all parameters to factory defaults via parameter A1-03=2220 to clear corrupted settings.

  5. 5

    5. Reload the DriveWorksEZ program and drive parameters from a known good backup file.

  6. 6

    6. If the fault persists after reinitialization, consider replacing the main control board as the EEPROM may be integrated.
