Additional Axis Function 3-56
3.7 Additional Axis Function
This controller is equipped with an additional axis interface for controlling an additional axis when a traveling axis
or rotary table is added to the robot. A maximum of eight axes of servo motors can be controlled at the same time
by connecting a general-purpose servo amplifier (MR-J3-B series) that supports Mitsubishi's SSC Net Ⅲ .
Refer to the separate "Additional axis interface Instruction Manual" for details on the additional axis function.
3.7.1 Wiring of the Additional Axis Interface
shows the connectors for additional axes inside the controller and shows a connection example (con
-
figuration example). The magnet contactor control connector for additional axes, AXMC1, is designed to accom
-
modate circuit connection with improved safety in Mitsubishi's industrial robot systems connecting additional
axes.
Please implement the appropriate circuit connection by refere to
