1.2 MP2100M Overview
1.2.1 MP2100M Features
The MP2100M is a Machine Controller equivalent to the MP2100 with an SVB Board mounted to the option
connector of the CPU Board (Module). The SVB Board (Motion Module) provides one MECHATROLINK-II
port, and can be used to control Servos, inverters, and I/O devices.
The MP2100M has the following features in addition to those of the MP2100.
(1) Controls Up to 32 Servo Axes from a Single MP2100M
The two MECHATROLINK ports provided on the SVB built into the CPU Board and the SVB Motion Module
can be used to control up to 32 Servo axes from a single MP2100M. Up to 42 stations can be controlled when
including I/O devices. The CPU Module and SVB Motion Module can also be synchronized, enabling interpola-
tion and synchronization applications between CPU Modules with built-in SVB and SVB Motion Modules.
(2) High-speed Motion Control of 0.5 ms
The SVB Motion Module’s MECHATROLINK port can be used on its own to control up to four axes using a
0.5-ms motion control cycle.
Set whether to use the two MP2100M ports (SVB port built into the CPU Module and SVB Motion Module port)
or high-speed processing (SVB Motion Module only) in the MPE720 Module Configuration Definition.
1.2.2 Comparing SVB Motion Module and SVB Built into the CPU Module
The following table shows the differences between the SVB built into the CPU Module and the separate SVB
Motion Module.
