2.1.1 MP2100 Basic System Configuration
The following diagram shows the basic system configuration for the MP2100.
Note 1. Up to 21 devices can be connected to MECHATROLINK-II. (The SERVOPACKs and
Inverters can be connected for to up to 16 axes.)
2. Up to 9 digital I/O points (5 inputs and 4 outputs) can be used.
2.1.2 Precautions
The following precautions must be followed when designing a system using the MP2100.
• Use the connecting cables and connectors recommended by Yaskawa.
Yaskawa has a range of cables. Always check the device to be used and select the correct cable for the
device.
• Different SERVOPACKs are connected to MECHATROLINK-I and MECHATROLINK-II.
Refer to the list and select the appropriate SERVOPACKs.
• If devices compatible with MECHATROLINK-I (4 Mbps) and with MECHATROLINK-II (10 Mbps) are
used together, make the all settings for MECHATROLINK-I (4 Mbps).
• When connecting SERVOPACKs via MECHATROLINK, connect the overtravel, zero point return decel-
eration limit switch and external latch signals to the SERVOPACKs.
