Station Mode/Axis Mode; Extension Module Connectable To The Head Module - Mitsubishi Electric MELSERVO MR-MT2010 Instruction Manual

2. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

2.2 Station mode/axis mode

When the MR-MT2200 series is used, two modes are available.
Mode
Station mode
Axis mode

2.3 Extension module connectable to the head module

CAUTION
(1) Connectable extension modules
The following table lists the extension modules connectable to the MR-MT2010 SSCNET III/H head
module.
(2) The connectable number of extension modules
The following describes the connectable number of extension modules.
Up to four extension modules can be connected to one head module.
No restrictions are applied to the connection order of extension modules.
When MR-MT2400 is used, up to two MR-MT2400 modules can be connected to one head module.
Do not connect the extension modules in the axis mode and station mode together to one head
module.
(When MR-MT2200 is used in the axis mode, other extension modules or MR-MT2200 modules in the
station mode cannot be connected to one head module.)
When the station mode is selected, refer to section 2.4.1 for the number of connectable stations.
When the axis mode is selected, refer to section 2.4.2 for the number of connectable axes.
POINT
Only when the MR-MT2200 pulse I/O module is connected to the head module,
the station mode or axis mode can be selected. All other modules operate in the
station mode, and the axis mode cannot be set.
Select this mode to use the pulse I/O function for a purpose other than for driving motors.
Servo amplifier axes are not occupied.
Select this mode to drive motors.
Use this mode for driving stepping motors through general-purpose pulse train drivers just like
servo amplifier axes by outputting position commands in general-purpose pulse train signals
from a servo system controller.
Axes are occupied by the number of motor axes connected to MR-MT2200. Axes are
occupied in the same way as when MR-J4-B servo amplifiers are used.
Do not connect the extension modules exceeding the maximum number of
connectable modules to the head module. Otherwise, the modules may
malfunction.
