Yaskawa JANCD-XMM02 APM Modem Card

Product Detailed Description:

The Yaskawa APM Modem Card is an interface module designed for use within Yaskawa servo drives and motion control systems. Its primary function is to provide communication capabilities using a serial modem connection, typically allowing the servo drive or amplifier to connect to a network (like a telephone line) for remote monitoring, parameter setting, or control. This card facilitates communication between the drive and external devices or systems, enabling features like remote diagnostics, data logging, and integration into larger networked control architectures. It often requires specific software and hardware configurations to establish and manage the communication link.

Product Parameters:

(Note: Specific parameters can vary significantly between different APM card revisions and associated drive models. These are typical examples)

• Communication Interface: Typically RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial port.

• Modulation Type: Usually Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) or similar analog/digital modulation suitable for telephone line transmission.

• Operating Voltage: Matches the internal voltage supply of the Yaskawa drive it’s installed in (e.g., +5V, +/-15V).

• Current Consumption: Low, typically in the range of tens of milliamps.

• Operating Temperature: Standard industrial range, e.g., 0°C to 55°C (32°F to 131°F).

• Humidity: Standard industrial range, e.g., 10% to 90% RH, non-condensing.

• Compatibility: Specific to certain Yaskawa drive models (e.g., Sigma-5 series amplifiers, potentially others). Requires verification for compatibility with the target drive.

• Configuration: Often requires parameters to be set via the drive’s parameters or specific software tools (e.g., IP address, phone number, baud rate, parity, stop bits).

Product Advantages:

• Remote Access: Enables remote connection to the servo drive for monitoring status, viewing alarms, and adjusting parameters without being physically present at the machine.

• Troubleshooting: Facilitates remote diagnostics and troubleshooting, potentially reducing downtime by allowing experts to access the drive remotely.

• Data Logging: Can be used to remotely log operational data from the drive for analysis and performance optimization.

• Integration: Allows integration of the servo drive into existing communication networks, potentially enabling centralized control or monitoring of multiple machines.

• Legacy Support: Provides communication options for older or specific Yaskawa drives that may not have built-in Ethernet or other modern network interfaces.

• Cost-Effective (Historically): Provided remote access capabilities using relatively inexpensive telephone line infrastructure (though less common now with widespread Ethernet).

Precautions / Notes:

• Installation: Must be installed correctly according to Yaskawa’s instructions within the specified Yaskawa drive. Incorrect installation can damage the card or the drive.

• Configuration: Requires careful configuration of communication parameters to match the network and the remote host system. Incorrect settings will prevent communication.

• Security: Communication over public telephone lines may be less secure than modern digital networks. Consider security implications.

• Obsolete Technology: Modem-based communication is becoming less common with the widespread adoption of Ethernet (Profinet, EtherNet/IP, Ethernet/IP, etc.) in industrial automation. This card might be considered legacy for newer systems.

• Power Cycling: Some modem cards may require the drive to be powered down and back up after installation or configuration changes.

• Software Compatibility: Requires compatible host software on the PC or remote system to establish and manage the modem connection.

• Line Quality: Performance can be affected by the quality of the telephone line or communication medium.

Product Applications:

• Remote Machine Monitoring: For machines located in hard-to-reach areas or at remote sites.

• Service and Maintenance: Allowing technicians to remotely diagnose and potentially adjust settings on servo-driven equipment.

• Legacy System Upgrades: Adding remote access capabilities to older Yaskawa servo systems without replacing the entire drive.

• Specialized Control Networks: Where telephone lines are the primary or only available communication infrastructure for connecting control devices.

• Batch or Discrete Manufacturing: Enabling remote status checks and parameter adjustments for robotic cells, CNC machines, or other servo-controlled equipment.
