== Overview ==

Servo drives made by Yaskawa.

[https://mobile.yaskawa.com/delegate/getAttachment?documentId=TSE-S800-15&cmd=documents&documentName=TSE-S800-15C.pdf#page=381 Page 381] (page 371 in the PDF) tells the differences between the newer SGDA and the older SGD series SERVOPACKs.

== Model Numbers ==

SGD-xxyS are for speed/torque mode, and SGD-xxxP are for position mode. The 'xx' has to do with the power, and the 'y' letter has to do with the voltage.

It seems there is some old software called SVMON that can interact with the servo drive over a serial cable connected to the "Operator" DE9 connector:

The drive might be supported by SigmaWin software, since it supports the newer SGDA series which are very similar:
