Explanation
The above figure shows the minimum configuration that FP7 CPU Unit,
FP7 MC Unit and an end unit are combined. For FP7 MC Unit, the units
for 16 axes, 32 axes, and 64 axes are available.
FP7 MC Unit and Servo Amplifier A5B are connected with a shielded
twisted pair (STP) cable.
The units of the number of required axes areconnected.
The over limit switches are connected to the servo amplifier. When
using the servo amplifier in combination with FP7 MC Unit, the over
limit switches are connected to the terminals allocated to the general-
purpose monitor inputs of the servo amplifier (SI-MON3/SI-MON4).
The near home switch is connected to the servo amplifier. It is
connected to the terminal allocated to the near home input (HOME).
