1. Aim of the Commercialization

Since being released, MPX1310, which support the wide range of SLIO I/O modules, is well-received by customers. In recent years, customers have increasingly requested for further expansion of the lineup, such as expansion of control axes through function integration of equipment, connecting to peripheral devices, and I/O. In response, Yaskawa added the model with MPX1310 option module and eight types of option modules to the series lineup. These products enhanced functionality and enable the effective use of information by connecting with peripheral devices via various field networks. It contributes to the improvement of the customer’s equipment performance and added value.

2. Main Features

  • Effective use of information by connecting with peripheral devices via field networks

　Support for communications option modules allows for more peripheral devices to be connected in various kinds of field networks. This enables effective use of various information from the peripheral devices.

 

  • Ability to select the best option modules for the equipment environment

　Depending on the system scale and the power environment, the most suitable option can be selected from the lineup that offers different numbers of option module and power supply types that can be mounted on the equipment.

 

  • Support for SLIO I/O series

　The MPX1310 supports a wide range SLIO I/O that can be directly attached to the device to build a various system. Additionally, SLIO I/O can be distributed as remote I/O by using bus couplers for various types of networks, such as MECHATROLINK-4.
