2.1 Basic System Configuration

An AH Motion series CPU provides two types of configurations as follows.
1. Basic Configurations
The basic configurations explained in this section include the CPU network configuration and the configuration of the I/O
modules which are controlled by the CPU.
- AH Motion CPU network configuration
- AH500 Series Module Configuration
2. Other Network Configurations
In addition to the main CPU network configuration, you can also set up other network configurations which are connected
to the CPU's built-in EtherNet/IP port and other network modules.

AH Motion CPU Network Configuration
- AHxxEMC
The AH Motion CPU provides EtherCAT network as a basic motion system.
With the EtherCAT network system, you can obtain execution results of both sequence and motion control operation in the
high speed communications period of EtherCAT network. This feature enables precise sequence control and motion
control with a constant cycle time and steady operational results.
For more information on EtherCAT system, refer to AH Motion - Communication Manual.
AH500 Series Module Configuration
CPU Rack
The CPU Rack consists of products as follows.
- AH Motion series CPU
- AH Motion series backplane
- AH500 series power supply module
- AH500 series motion control modules
- AH500 series network modules*
- AH500 series digital I/O modules and special I/O modules.
*Note: Some AH500 series network modules are not supported by AH Motion CPU. Refer to 2.1.2 AH500 Series Module
Configuration for the supported models.
