2 Functional overview
A Panasonic MINAS A6 Multi servo drive system includes a power supply module, one
or more 400V driver modules, and one or two motors connected to each driver module.
Communication can be achieved through EtherCAT with any host controller that supports the
CAN application protocol over EtherCAT (CoE).
Example
A servo drive system, consisting of an 15kW power supply module, an A-size 1.5kW two-axis
driver module, and two servo motors with a rated power of 1.0kW and 1.5kW, is connected
to a Beckhoff C6015 host controller by an Ethernet cable to communicate via EtherCAT.
Use the following accessories:
• 1 x 400V AC power supply cable
Connects the MINAS A6 Multi power supply module to the main power supply (400V AC).
• 1 x 24V DC power supply cable
Connects the power supply unit (24V DC) and the host controller.
• 1 x grounding wire (M4 round terminal)
Connects the PE terminals of the power supply module and the driver module.
• 2 x Panasonic motor cable
Connects the motor and the driver module.
• 2 x Panasonic encoder cable
Connects the encoder and the driver module.
• 1 x Ethernet cable
Connects the PC and the host controller.
• 1 x Ethernet cable (used for EtherCAT communication)
Connects the host controller and the driver module.
• 1 x RJ11 communication cable (2 x RJ11 plug)
Connects the power supply module and the driver module.
• 1 x feed bus bar (50mm) with end cap for the DC link bus (535V DC to 675V DC)
Connects the power supply module and the driver module.
• 1 x feed bus bar (50mm) with end cap for the control bus (24V DC)
Connects the power supply module and the driver module.
