Software version
YAS4.26 (or newer).Setup steps
Install fieldbus board
Mount the option board in the robot controller.Setup MotoLogix
Activate the (paid) option function (by Yaskawa) and setup MotoLogix for the desired fieldbus and PLC architecture.Setup fieldbus
Define the fieldbus data packet for MotoLogix.Set parameters
Set the internal parameters required for MotoLogix usage.
The setup process requires the robot controller to be in maintenance mode
and a sufficient authorization level (management or higher).

Activate maintenance mode:
- Power off
- Press (and hold) main menu
- Power on
- Release main menu when the beeping sound is heard (usually within a few seconds)
Change the authorization level:
- system » security » select
- select the desired level using ▼ ▲ » select
- enter the password and press enter

Load iDevice configuration
The CP1616 also needs to get a configuration loaded.
This is called the iDevice configuration.
Loading the CP1616 configuration is part of the customer’s commissioning process. It requires TIA Portal and takes about 10 minutes.
