MECHATROLINK Spec
M-II M-III M-4
- The both of A-Link and MECHATROLINK-II capabilities fabricated on a half-hight PCI board.
- Further less-wiring in equipment.
- Distributed High-speed Control
- allows 2016 I/O points maximum with 0.96ms high speed scanning on A-Link and 16-axis with 2ms or 30-axis 4ms control on MECHATROLINK-Ⅱ simultaneously. - Just a board can control maximum 30 axes servo-driver units or manage maximum 15 axes independent linear interpolation motion, positioning and changing speed/destination after moving (except interpolated axis).
- Embedding bundled software makes it possible to realize applications easier on PC platforms.
