Basic Information

• Model: JANCD‑NCP30B (B = revised version)

• Manufacturer: Yaskawa Electric / Motoman Robotics

• Type: NXC100 robot controller main CPU board / SBC

• Compatible System: NXC100 series (not NX100, YRC1000, or DX series)

• Status: Discontinued (spare parts only)

• Mounting: Slot‑mounted in NXC100 controller backplane (JANCD‑NBB31B)

• Compatibility: Drop‑in replacement for NCP30 (Rev A1)

Key Differences from NCP30 (Rev A1)

• Hardware Revision: B version includes upgraded capacitors, improved ESD protection, and minor PCB layout adjustments for better stability.

• Firmware Compatibility: Supports the latest NXC100 system software versions (Vx.xx and above) without compatibility issues.

• Reliability: Enhanced thermal resistance and longer service life in high‑duty‑cycle environments.

• Form & Fit: 100% pin‑to‑pin compatible with NCP30; no wiring or backplane changes required for replacement.

Specifications

• Processor: High‑speed industrial CPU (same performance as NCP30)

• Memory: Onboard RAM/ROM + battery‑backed SRAM for programs/parameters

• Power: 24 VDC (from NXC100 power supply)

• Communication Interfaces:

  • Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps)

  • RS‑232C / RS‑485

  • Internal bus for servo/I/O boards

• I/O: Onboard digital I/O and safety logic

• Operating Temperature: 0 °C to +45 °C

• Cooling: Active heat sink

Key Functions

1. System Control: Executes robot programs, motion planning, and safety logic for the NXC100 controller.

2. Motion Control: Calculates joint/cartesian trajectories and controls servo drives for high‑precision robot movement.

3. Communication Hub: Connects to teach pendant, PLC, vision systems, and other peripherals via Ethernet/serial.

4. Data Management: Stores user programs, system parameters, and error logs with battery backup.

5. Backplane Coordination: Interfaces with the NBB31B backplane to route power/signals to all internal boards.

Compatibility & Applications

• Exclusively for Yaskawa NXC100 robot controllers (welding, material handling, assembly, semiconductor automation).

• Direct replacement for NCP30 (Rev A1); ideal for upgrading older NXC100 systems to improve reliability.

• Not compatible with NX100 (NCP01), YRC1000, or DX‑series controllers.

Installation & Safety

• Power Off: Disconnect main power and discharge capacitors before handling.

• ESD Protection: Use a grounded anti‑static wristband.

• Battery Maintenance: Replace backup battery periodically to prevent data loss.

• Qualified Personnel: Installation and configuration must be performed by certified technicians.
