Compatible with Realtime Express MINAS A4N*
network servo systems.
Facilitate multi-axis high precision positioning
High-accuracy multi-axis positioning control achieved
by high-speed 100Mbps communication.
Compatible with commercially available LAN cables,
significantly reducing wiring costs.
Two-axis unit available in addition to the four- and
eight-axis units.
Data from a maximum of 600 points can be
registered for each axis.
Three-axis helical interpolation supported in addition
to two-axis linear and two-axis circular interpolation functions.
Dedicated tool software "Configurator PM" supports
operations from setup through startup and monitoring.
Equipped with a manual pulser input terminal,
allowing for fine teaching.

Controls up to 256 axes, adequately supporting large-scale equipment control
Up to 32 eight-axis units can be connected and up to 256 axes controlled (when using FP2SH with H type backplane).
Selectable among two, four, and eight-axis types to flexibly support control system configurations of a few or multiple axes.
Use in combination with the ultra-high speed and large capacity FP2SH CPU unit (20k steps/1ms (measured by our company),
program capacity of 120k steps) adequately supports the control of large-scale equipment.
