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.
