I have been trying to wire my Hitachi WJ200-015sf inverter for a week now, can you please help?
All the help I have found on the bulletin board seems to be for the old Hitachi SW100 model.
I think there are only about 7 lines but I can't make heads or tails of it. I am 67 and this is driving me crazy
Here is a picture of the terminals on the Hitachi WJ200-015sf. Can you please tell me which terminal goes to which allinoneinput. (Please)
I am attaching a picture of the terminal.
This is the new model. All the wj200(s) seem to be the same. Since there were so many questions and answers about the old wj100, if you can take the time to give a detailed description here, it will eliminate a lot of the future questions.
I just wired my WJ200, but it was to a DC3IOB which may be different.
I think this will work for your drive:
To the intelligent input bus of the Hitachi:
-wire Out8 NC of drive to pin 1 of inverter
-wire out8 NC of drive to pin 2 of inverter
- out8 common goes through an E-stop contact set, and back to out7.
- out7 com goes to the inverter com (L).
The idea of the above is that if the e-stop is triggered, the forward or stop terminal is dropped. Draw it out on a piece of paper to help see it. This is not really necessary to go through the E-stop contactor if you wire GS1 and GS2 inputs like I describe below. Those inverter inputs directly disable the inverter output in the case of an E-stop.
-out5 goes between the inverter common (L) and RS (pin 6)
- DAC COM goes to inverter l input.
- DAC OUT goes to inverter O input.
- inverter terminals AL0 and AL2 are a normally closed relay which signals an inverter fault. These should be wired to H10, #10 input then through a proper DC power supply (I think 24v is OK for these inputs) with the DC supply connected to the input common. If you need a normally open fault signal from the inverter, use AL0 and AL1 terminals. I think looking at the diagram that NC is what you want.
- I run GS1 and GS2 inputs (inverter pins 3 and 4) through an E-stop contactor set and to the inverter common (L). What this does is disables the VFD if the E-stop button is hit. In order to enable this feature, you need to slide the tiny safety function switch above the input bus over to the right. See manual for details.
All the inverter inputs are programmable via the inverters parameter settings. I am pretty sure that the inputs I gave you are the default settings.
I have a decent diagram called spindle inverter.pdf that dates Nov, 17 2011. It shows hookup to a AllinoneDC. I can't seem to locate it in a search, maybe Tech Support can get it for you if you don't already have it.
I had very good luck with slipping 18 gauge solid wire into the inverters input terminals, instead of using ferrules.
Good luck,
Scott

Don't get me wrong I really appreciate all the help all of you have given but
I have read all the posts and schematics posted on this forum but there is no consensus. One person says "use sinking", another says "use source". Others use the terms "I think" or "probably". Some say "this is not quite the same", etc.
For example in the above post the terminology ' Fault Reset' is not even found in the manuals and from what little I can tell the reset is on pin 5 not 6, but I am probably wrong.
Now ajax tech support is going to give us a wj200 pin number to allinone terminal. No more guessing P:-) No more elusive terminology
Just a 1 to 1 correlation. ))!

The intelligent input pins on the Hitachi are all programmable. The DEFAULT reset may be pin 5, but it is easily programmable to be whatever pin you want.
The inputs can use either sinking or sourcing logic depending on the inverter jumper location.
You need to spend time reading the manual an understanding how this inverter works.
I am glad I wasted my time. You have a total lack of electronics knowledge and should have someone doing this for you.

I knew you would take that wrong. But that is my fault, I am a vary old geek and can't phrase things right without giving offense. I am truly sorry I offended
All the inputs seem to be programmable. If we all wire up our WJ200 different, then our wj200 programing will all be different to. That makes it even more confusing when we try to help someone and makes it harder on tech support when trying to solve a problem.
Once again, I am sorry I offended, please forgive me, it was not even slightly intentional. I really, really appreciate your help!
As I am sure you weren't trying to offend me.

I am relived. Tec support asked for and received the hitachi WJ200 manuals.
I have been trying to figure out EXACTLY , pin for pin, how to wire up my hitachi WJ200 to my all in one. (using the default terminal setup)
There are a couple of posts on here where I think it is almost right, but then the poster says "his won't work as sinking but will work as source".
Tec support in a earlier post said it should be set up for sinking.
Tec support is taking awhile figuring it out, which kind of implies, it's not as easy as I imagined it would be for them.
Perhaps today I will hear something

Hello. If the folks you purchased the Inverter from won't or can't help you with determining what pins on the invert do what..then we will be happy to figure out the Hitachi inverter for you. Hookups for most any typical inverter to the All-in-One-Dc are clearly stated in the manual and on the full size hook up print that we provide.
If you can't figure out Hitachi manual, We do provided free inverter manual deciphering on various popular model inverters. and we will add the WJ200 to that list. please be patient this is free tech support help (for a product we didn't sell:-))
Out tech guys will post info on the Hitachi WJ200 soon.
Perfect! Thank you!
I bought the Hitachi because you recommend it.
Of the current newer technology inverters, specifically which one is the most popular?
Next time I buy a vfd, I will buy the most popular. I mistakenly thought I was buying the most popular this time.
The main reason I bought the ajax was because, it was the easiest to install, next to a kit that is installed for you.
And you bear that out when you state "You will give us a pin to pin schematic of a specific inverter" To my poor reasoning the vfd once installed and set up correctly is transparent and hopefully won't need revamping in the near future.
Once again thank you!

Please follow the table below to connect the Hitachi WJ200-015SF drive to the ALLIN1DC. Make sure that there is a jumper installed between pins L and PLC on the inverter. The 0-10VDC COM signal must be connected to the L that is in between the OI and AM pins on the inverter. Make sure that A001 is set to 01 and that A005 is set to 00.
(We pride ourselves on providing timely solid technical support but, without good information we may not be able to help and/or reply until such information is posted.)
