Introduction
PCI-8372+/8366+ is a PCI bus interface card designed for per-
sonal computer or industrial computer accompanied with a Mitsub-
ishi MR-J2S-B type or SSCNET type servo amplifier. PCI-8372+
can control up to 12 servo amplifiers, where as PCI-8366+ can
control up to 6 servo amplifiers.
cPCI-8312H is a CompactPCI bus interface card in 6U size. It con-
trols up to 12 SSCNET axes and two HSL network ports in one
board.
The connection between the motion control board and the ampli-
fier is done via high-speed serial communication of the SSCNet II
protocol. SSCNet II connections offer the following advantages
over pulse train type connections:
X
Wiring is simplified because servo amplifiers are connected
by multi-drop method and the communication distance is up
to 30 meters.
X
Parameter management and the construction of absolute
positioning system (ABS) are greatly simplified.
X
Since commands are transmitted in serial data format,
noise-reduction is better, thus reliability is improved. Also
the control resolution is increased.
X
Users can retrieve abundant information from the servo sys-
tem through SSCNet II. No longer are you restricted to com-
mands and feedback. You can now also monitor servo
status, alarm status and tuning servo parameters.
