VS-656 YASKAWA

VS-656 YASKAWA communication module

Product  Description：

Yaskawa Communication Modules are dedicated expansion units designed to enhance the connectivity of the MP series machine controllers and Sigma series servo drives. While a communication processor often handles high-level data management, the communication module serves as the physical and protocol-specific interface that allows Yaskawa hardware to join various industrial fieldbus networks. These modules ensure that the controller can command remote I/O, receive sensor data, and synchronize with other automation hardware across a distributed architecture.

Product Parameters

The technical specifications of Yaskawa Communication Modules vary based on the network protocol, but generally include the following:

• Protocol Support: Dedicated modules are available for MECHATROLINK-II, MECHATROLINK-III, MECHATROLINK-4, CC-Link, DeviceNet, PROFIBUS-DP, and EtherCAT.

• Data Rate: High-speed motion modules like MECHATROLINK-III operate at 100 Mbps with full-duplex communication, while fieldbus modules like PROFIBUS-DP operate at up to 12 Mbps.

• Node Capacity: Depending on the protocol, a single module can typically manage between 16 and 64 slave stations or nodes.

• Transmission Distance: Standard copper-based modules support distances from 50 to 100 meters per segment, while specialized optical modules can extend several hundred meters.

• Cycle Time: Optimized for high-speed synchronization, with minimum transmission cycles as low as 125 microseconds for motion-centric protocols.

• Connection Type: Features protocol-specific connectors such as industrial RJ45, M12 circular connectors, or 9-pin D-sub connectors.

Product Advantages

Yaskawa Communication Modules are engineered to provide reliable and high-performance networking in complex industrial settings:

• Seamless Motion Integration: Modules designed for MECHATROLINK provide perfect synchronization between the central unit and servo drives, enabling complex multi-axis interpolation without signal lag.

• Plug-and-Play Expansion: These modules are designed for easy installation into the controller backplane, with automatic recognition by the MPE720 engineering software to simplify setup.

• Robust Data Integrity: Built-in hardware cyclic redundancy checks (CRC) and advanced error-correction algorithms ensure that control commands are delivered accurately even in high-noise environments.

• Global Compatibility: By offering a wide range of module types, Yaskawa allows its controllers to be integrated into factories that standardized on different networking ecosystems like EtherCAT or CC-Link.

• Diagnostic Transparency: Each module provides detailed status information to the main CPU, allowing for the real-time monitoring of network health and the pinpointing of specific node failures.

Product Applications

These modules are used to build the communication backbone of automated production lines:

• Distributed Motion Control: Linking a central machine controller to dozens of servo axes spread across a large assembly or packaging machine.

• Remote I/O Management: Connecting the main controller to input/output stations located far from the main control cabinet, reducing wiring costs and complexity.

• Multi-Vendor Systems: Allowing a Yaskawa controller to act as a master station for third-party sensors, valves, and actuators that use standard fieldbus protocols like DeviceNet or PROFIBUS.

• Factory-Wide Networking: Bridging individual machine cells to a central plant network for coordinated start/stop sequences and production status reporting.

• High-Speed Synchronized Printing: Using MECHATROLINK modules to maintain exact phase alignment between multiple printing cylinders and feed rollers.

Important Precautions

To ensure stable communication and prevent hardware damage, the following precautions must be followed:

• Termination Requirements: For serial-based fieldbus networks like PROFIBUS or RS-485, a termination resistor must be installed at both ends of the network line to prevent signal reflections.

• Cable Specifications: Use only the officially certified cables for the specific protocol. Using standard Ethernet cables for high-speed motion networks like MECHATROLINK can result in intermittent synchronization errors.

• Station Address Conflict: Each node on the network must have a unique station address set via hardware switches or software. Duplicate addresses will cause network collisions and system-wide communication failure.

• Shielding and Grounding: The communication cable shield must be properly grounded at the designated points. Improper grounding can lead to the accumulation of static or noise that can corrupt data or damage the communication ICs.

• Power Sequencing: When starting the system, ensure the communication network is stable before the main controller begins executing its motion program to avoid "node not found" alarms.
