1.1 MP2300S Features
The MP2300S is a small all-in-one machine controller, and successor to the MP2000 series in function and perfor-
mance. It is characterized by the following standard features:

Standard Feature Motion Network MECHATROLINK-II
• Controls up to 16 axes of servos supporting MECHATROLINK-II.
• Connects up to 21 stations including I/Os.

Standard Feature Ethernet (100 Mbps)
• Allows high-speed communications with the engineering tool MPE720.
• Enables communication without a ladder program by using a touch panel (automatic receive function).
• Enables communication without a ladder program by using an upper PLC (I/O message communication func-
tion).

Scalability Ensured in Preparation for Single Optional Slot
• Single optional slot ensures scalability. The existing optional modules of MP2000 series are available.
• An optional module allows the use of various open networks, such as CC-Link, DeviceNet, and PROFIBUS.
• Connecting an SVB-01 module to the optional slot allows the synchronized control of up to 32 axes of servos.

Capable of a Synchronous Distributed System with MECHATROLINK
• The MP2300S has a CPU synchronous function using MECHATROLINK communications. This is a new func-
tion in the MP2000 series Machine Controllers.
• A sync operation between slave controllers is made possible by connecting the MP2300S as a slave with an
MP2000 series model as a master via MECHATROLINK-II.
• The controller's load balancing affords a high-speed synchronization of multi-axis motions.

Simple Programming
• The operation procedures needed before performing a motion operation are significantly reduced.
• You can start up a motion program from an upper PLC without the need for programming, simply by creating the
motion program and registering execution orders.
