JANCD-MM06

JANCD‑MM06 is a high‑capacity non‑volatile memory board manufactured by Yaskawa Electric, designed as a drop‑in upgrade for legacy YASNAC CNC and Motoman robot controller systems. It is the next‑generation high‑density model in the JANCD‑MM series, superseding JANCD‑MM05 and earlier versions (MM01/MM02/MM03). The board provides expanded storage for user programs, motion parameters, system logs, and backup data, supporting more complex and larger‑scale automation applications. Target systems include YASNAC i70, J50, i60 series CNC and Motoman XRC, MRC robot controllers. The product is discontinued by the original manufacturer and is available only as a used, refurbished, or stock spare part for maintenance and upgrade purposes.

2. Specifications

  • Model: JANCD‑MM06

  • Manufacturer: Yaskawa Electric

  • Type: Non‑volatile program and parameter memory expansion board

  • Storage Media: High‑density Flash array with permanent data retention without power

  • Storage Capacity: Larger than JANCD‑MM05, supporting extensive CNC programs, robot job programs, multi‑axis parameters, I/O configurations, tool offsets, system diagnostics, fault logs, and full system backups

  • Core Functions: Stores system firmware, user applications, motion control parameters, I/O address mapping, tool compensation, and historical fault data; supports system boot, one‑click data backup and restore, offline program migration, and controller‑to‑controller data cloning

  • Hardware Interface: Proprietary parallel‑bus edge connector for direct insertion into the controller backplane standard 3U slot

  • Power Supply: 5 VDC from the controller backplane; low power consumption, no external power source required

  • Operating Temperature: 0 °C to +55 °C

  • Storage Temperature: −20 °C to +70 °C

  • Humidity: 5% RH to 95% RH, non‑condensing

  • Mounting: Standard 3U slot installation, secured by two screws for vibration resistance

  • Weight: Approximately 1.0 kg

  • Compatibility: YASNAC J50/i60/i70 CNC series, Motoman XRC/MRC robot controllers; not compatible with DX series robots, i80/i90 CNC systems, or non‑Yaskawa equipment

  • Product Status: Discontinued; available only as maintenance spare parts

  • Reliability: Equipped with anti‑static, surge protection, and over‑voltage protection circuits for long‑term industrial continuous operation

3. Installation and Replacement

  1. Power Off and Lockout: Shut down the controller completely and disconnect all AC and DC power sources to avoid electric shock or equipment damage.

  2. Locate Slot: Identify an available standard 3U slot in the controller rack; ensure the slot is compatible with the JANCD‑MM series.

  3. Insert Board: Align the edge connector with the slot, then insert firmly and evenly until the board is fully seated.

  4. Secure Board: Fasten the board with two mounting screws to prevent vibration‑induced loosening during operation.

  5. Power On and Recognition: Reconnect power to the controller; the system will automatically detect, initialize, and recognize the JANCD‑MM06 board.

  6. Load Data: After successful recognition, load system software, user programs, or restore backups via the CNC or teach pendant operation menu.

4. Backup and Restore

  • Backup: Use the CNC operation panel (for CNC systems) or teach pendant (for robot systems) to save all user programs, parameters, tool offsets, and system logs to the JANCD‑MM06 board.

  • Restore: Boot the controller directly from the memory board or select the “Restore from Memory Board” option in the system menu to recover all saved data.

  • Cloning: Support one‑click data cloning between identical compatible controllers for rapid system deployment.

  • Best Practice: Maintain redundant backups—one stored on‑board and one on external USB storage—to prevent accidental data loss.

5. Safety and Handling Precautions

  • ESD Protection: Always wear a grounded anti‑static wrist strap when handling the board to prevent static electricity damage to sensitive components.

  • No Hot Plugging: Never insert or remove the board while the controller power is on; this may cause permanent damage to the board or controller.

  • Environmental Care: Avoid exposure to static, moisture, dust, oil, and physical impact. Store the board in a dry, clean, anti‑static environment when not in use.

  • No Unauthorized Modification: Do not open, modify, repair, or tamper with the board; any unauthorized alteration voids warranty and may lead to system failure.

  • Ventilation: Keep the controller’s ventilation areas unobstructed. Clean dust from the board and controller annually to ensure proper heat dissipation and prevent overheating.

6. Compatibility Statement

JANCD‑MM06 is exclusively compatible with Yaskawa YASNAC J50/i60/i70 CNC systems and Motoman XRC/MRC robot controllers. It is not compatible with newer Yaskawa platforms such as DX series robots, i80/i90 CNC systems, or any non‑Yaskawa equipment.

7. Difference from JANCD‑MM05

  • JANCD‑MM05: High‑capacity model for standard large‑scale applications, supporting basic expanded program and parameter storage.

  • JANCD‑MM06: Enhanced high‑capacity variant, offering larger storage space, faster data read/write speed, improved anti‑interference performance, and support for system data cloning; pin‑compatible and directly interchangeable with MM05 for seamless upgrade or replacement.
