5.4.4 Definition Data Refreshed by Self-configuration
The MP2300 Basic Module definition data refreshed when self-configuration is executed are shown below.
( 1 ) I/O Allocations
( 2 ) MECHATROLINK Transmission Definition Data
The following table shows the MECHATROLINK transmission definitions that are automatically set based on the
detected communication method and number of slaves.
The communication cycle and number of retry stations in MECHATROLINK-
ΙΙ
32-byte Mode change according to
the highest station number of the detected slaves as shown in the following table.
Slave Devices Not Recognized by Self-configuration
The following slave devices (I/O modules) are recognized as wildcard I/O (***** I/O) because they do not have a model code.
Make allocations again for these devices in the Module Configuration Window of the MPE720.
• JEPMC-IO350
• JAMSC-120DAI53330
• JAMSC-120DAI73330
• JAMSC-120DAO83330
• JAMSC-120DRA83030
Servos with special specifications and that cannot be automatically recognized are recognized as wildcard Servos
(*****SERVO). Make allocations again for these Servos in the Module Configuration Window of the MPE720.
