Servo amplifier with multi-network interface
The MR-J4 servo amplifier series (photo) incorporates a multi-network interface called Servo Open Network. It enables the user-friendly drive to be compatible with all relevant motion-control systems worldwide. Communication is simplified by offering mainstream industrial Ethernet protocols, including CC-Link IE Field, Profinet, EtherCAT and Ethernet/IP. Network protocol selection is easy and user-friendly thanks to the plug-and-play concept applied to the servo amplifiers. A Quick Start Guide is available for each of the networks alongside immediately usable and expandable sample projects and function blocks, which are supplemented by flexible connection options. The servo systems for the power range from 0.05 to 22 kW are highly compact, occupying up to 50% less volume than comparable products. They are also supported by a large selection of motors with high power densities, offering maximum flexibility in design and efficiency with a minimum footprint. — Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V., Ratingen, Germany
