The MP2300 is an all-in-one, compact Machine Controller that combines power supply,
CPU, SVB, I/O, and communication functions in one system. The MP2300 consists of a
Basic Module that performs motion control and sequence control and Optional Modules that
perform I/O and communication functions.
The MP2300 has the following features:
• Flexibility
• High performance, and
• Easy use
Optional Modules can be inserted into any of the three slots, so the optimum system can be built for
your machine.
• High control characteristics have been realized by increasing the CPU and Motion Network
(MECHATROLINK-II) speed.
• MECHATROLINK-II baud rate: 2.5 times faster
• CPU processing speed: 1.4 times faster than MP930
• MECHATROLINK-II enables position control, speed control, and torque control and makes
precise synchronous control possible. The control mode can also be changed while online,
facilitating complicated machine operations.
• Select the appropriate Communication Module to use the following open networks.
• Ethernet
• DeviceNet
• PROFIBUS
• The time of machine development can be greatly reduced by using the self-configuration function
that automatically detects devices connected to MECHATROLINK and automatically sets the
required parameters.
•
The application program converter can utilize your previous software assets with their
accumulated databanks of specific knowledge to improve the system further.
