The maximum number of stations that you can connect is different for different host controller types, and baud rate and
communications cycle settings.
Communications cycle: Integral multiple of transmission cycles (depending on the host controller settings).
For details, refer to the manuals of your controller.
Example: If the host controller is an MP2300
•
For MECHATROLINK-II (32-byte transmission, 2.0 ms communications cycle): 21 stations max. (21 stations can be set, but then
the maximum number of connectable drives will be 16.)
•
For MECHATROLINK-II (32-byte transmission, 1.0 ms communications cycle): 9 stations max.
•
For MECHATROLINK-II (17-byte transmission, 1.0 ms communications cycle): 15 stations max.
•
For MECHATROLINK-I: 14 stations max.
