Panasonic Minas A Series Drive Connection Accessory
The NI MCA-7790P accessory (NI part number 779613-01) provides
connection between the PCI-7390 and Panasonic MINAS A series drives.
Connecting Panasonic Drives to the PCI-7390
To connect a Panasonic drive to the PCI-7390, connect a 50-pin cable from
the drive to the MCA-7790P, then connect a SCSI 100-pin cable from the
MCA-7790P to the PCI-7390. Finally, connect the MCA-7790P to a +24 V
power supply using the IGND +24 V two-terminal screw terminal.
Note
The Inhibit-Out (Servo ON) input in the drive is sourcing. For compatibility between
the drive and the controller, set the general-purpose output jumper on the PCI-7390 for
sinking. The MCA-7790P internally connects VI_COM <1..4> to +24 V which configures
all PCI-7390 inputs as sourcing.
MCA-7790P LEDs
The MCA-7790P has three LEDs per axis that indicate forward limit,
reverse limit, and home status. Two additional LEDs indicate the status of
the +24 V input power supply and the +5 V OUT signal from the PCI-7390.
MCA-7790P Axis I/O Signals
Table B-4 shows the signals from the Axis I/O screw terminal on the
MCA-7790P to the PCI-7390 and from the drive to the MCA-7790P.
