Single Axis Motion Modules
ADLINK offers three different types motion module which was
used for three specific servos.
1. The MNET-J3 can control a servomotor when I/O signals
from a Mitsubishi’s MR-J3 series servo driver CN1 are
routed directly to this connector, CN4.
2. The MNET-MIA can control a servomotor when I/O sig-
nals from a Panasonic’s (Matsushita's) servo amplifier
MINAS A4 series (pulse command supporting type)
servo amplifier CNI/F or CNX5 are routed directly to this
connector, CN4.
3. The MNET-M341-S23 controls Yasukawa ΣII, ΣIII and
ΣV series servo pack (pulse train supporting types) by
docking all command and feedback signals to the CN1
connector of the servo driver.
These modules can control continuous operations of a servomotor
with a variety of speed patterns (constant speed, linear accelera-
tion/deceleration, S-curve acceleration/deceleration, as well as a
preset positioning operation, and a zero return operation) using
serial communications.
Since these modules can be connected directly to the mechanical
I/O signals from a servo driver, they do not need the special servo
driver cable that is required for a conventional motion control mod-
ule. Therefore, these modules will save you many hours in design-
ing and wiring your system. The motion module brings many
advantages such as simplified wiring, shortened wiring runs, and it
eliminates problems caused by faulty wiring. It also offers high
noise immunity and takes full advantage of high-speed signal lines
to handle command pulses. This module is so compact that it does
not need any extra space left for wiring.
If you want to control a servo or stepper motor and it is not
described above or you need more advanced motion function like
linear / circular interpolation motion (but not PTP motion). ADLINK
also provides the 4-axes motion control modules for complicated
applications. By using the specific or general purposed D-Sub
cables and therefore you can connect the servo drivers directly
