„
Overview
The JEPMC-REP2000 (hereinafter referred to as REP2000 or Repeater) is a repeater for MECHATROLINK-II
transmission system and serves as a module to extend the distance of MECHATROLINK-II network and increasethe
number of connectable slave stations.
The REP2000 has two MECHATROLINK-II connection ports: One port to connect to the terminal of Masterside
network, and the other to connect to the terminal of the extended network. These two ports are functionally identical. A
terminator is built in each port.
The internal circuit of REP2000 eliminates receive signal waveform deformation caused by radiation and noise on the
transmission route.
The REP2000 has three LED indicators to indicate the status: Power-ON, CN1 busy, and CN2 busy.
A +24 VDC power supply is required for operation.
