The following diagram shows an example of connections for MECHATROLINK-II communications between
a host controller and a multi-winding drive unit.
The MECHATROLINK-II communications cable connectors (CN9A and CN9B) are used.
Note 1. The length of the cable between stations (L1, L2 ... Ln) must be 0.5 m or more.
2. The total cable length must be L1 + L2 ... + Ln
≤
50.
3. When multiple multi-winding drive units or SERVOPACKs are connected by MECHATROLINK-II communica-
tions cables, a terminator must be installed at the final multi-winding drive unit or SERVOPACK.
