SGDB-20VD - Yaskawa SGDB-20VD Sigma servo drive
Evidence-backed servo drive role for SGDB-20VD, with explicit installation boundaries.
Documented function
Rebuilt from individual evidence
System position
Unknown: Evidence boundary
Yaskawa's EMC document explicitly lists SGDB-20VD as an SGDB-VD SERVOPACK in the three-phase 200 V class.
Yaskawa assigns SGDB-20VD the FN351-25/33 noise filter in the documented EMC installation table.
The SGDB manual documents R, S, and T power input, U, V, and W motor terminals, and encoder and controller connections for the SERVOPACK.
The drive sits between the upstream controller and the matched servo motor in the documented axis.
The drive converts controller references into controlled electrical output for the matched servo motor.
Unknown: The exact motor capacity, installed parameter set, controller mode, and machine load are not established by the captured sources.

System role
This section explains what the product does and where it acts in the surrounding system.
- Function
- Drives a matched Sigma servomotor from the SGDB controller interface.
- System position
- Sits between the three-phase power and host controller on one side and the matched servomotor on the other.
- Upstream / inputs
- Receives controller references and encoder feedback through the documented SGDB connections.
- Downstream / outputs
- Supplies controlled three-phase motor power through the U, V, and W terminals.
- Limitations
- Unknown: The exact motor capacity, installed parameter set, controller mode, and machine load are not established by the captured sources.
