YASKAWA JEPMC-CP210T2V Introduction
The YASKAWA JEPMC-CP210T2V is a high-performance Machine Controller CPU Module belonging to the MP2100 series.
Unlike standard standalone controllers, this unit is designed in a Half-Size PCI card form factor,
allowing it to be installed directly into an industrial PC (IPC) or a standard desktop computer bus.
It combines the high-speed motion control capabilities of Yaskawa’s dedicated hardware with the flexible user interface and data processing power of a Windows-based PC.
It is primarily used to synchronize complex multi-axis motion via the MECHATROLINK-II high-speed fieldbus.

Product Advantages and Features
PC-Integrated Control: Eliminates the need for bulky standalone controller cabinets by utilizing the PC’s internal bus for high-speed data exchange.

JEPMC-CP210T2V
High-Speed Motion Sync: Utilizing MECHATROLINK-II, it ensures perfectly synchronized motion between servos, inverters, and I/O modules.
Dual-Port Memory: Allows the PC software (C++, Visual Basic, or LabVIEW) to share data with the motion controller logic in real-time without communication bottlenecks.
Reduced Wiring: A single MECHATROLINK cable can daisy-chain up to 16 axes, drastically reducing wiring time and potential points of failure.
Hardware Logic Engine: Even if the Windows OS hangs, the on-board CPU continues to manage motion safety and logic, providing high reliability.
Application Cases
Semiconductor Manufacturing: Precise wafer handling and positioning where a PC-based vision system must talk directly to the motion controller.
JEPMC-CP210T2V
Medical Imaging Equipment: Controlling the high-speed, smooth movement of scanning beds or X-ray gantries.
Electronic Assembly: Pick-and-place machines requiring high-speed synchronization between motion and high-level software data.
Laboratory Automation: Custom testing rigs where high-speed data logging on the PC must be perfectly timed with actuator movements.
