2. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
2.4 Maximum number of connections on a network
2.4.1 Station mode
The following table lists the number of connectable stations of the sensing module in one SSCNET III/H
system.
Servo system controller
For the sensing module, each extension module occupies one station.
When the head module and an extension module are used together, one station is occupied by the
combination of the head module and the extension module next to it. However, when the head module is
used alone, the head module itself occupies one station. The following shows how stations are counted.
POINT
When MR-MT2200 is used in the axis mode, no restrictions are applied to the
number of connectable stations because one MR-MT2200 module is handled as
an axis just like servo amplifiers.
