Basic Information

• Model: JANCD‑NIF30B (common full part number: JANCD‑NIF30B‑1)

• Alternate PN: F352061‑1

• Revision: Rev. B (updated from Rev. A NIF30‑1‑E)

• Manufacturer: Yaskawa Electric / Motoman Robotics

• Applicable Controller: NXC100 series (compact robot controller)

• Type: Communication & Servo Interface PCB

• Status: Active (new, refurbished, and surplus units available)

• Made in: Japan

Key Specifications

• Signal Interface: High‑speed differential I/O (RS‑485/RS‑422 compatible) for servo and network signals

• Logic Voltage: 24 VDC (controller‑supplied)

• Isolation: Enhanced opto‑isolation for industrial noise immunity

• Connectors: Edge connector for NXC100 backplane; high‑density headers for external field wiring

• Data Rate: Faster than NIF30‑1‑E (optimized for NXC100 Rev. B+ firmware)

• Form Factor: Standard NXC100 slot‑mount PCB

Main Functions

• Servo Link: Routes high‑speed control signals between the NXC100 CPU (NCP30B) and external servo amplifiers.

• Fieldbus Communication: Supports industrial protocols (DeviceNet, PROFIBUS, Yaskawa proprietary) for PLC/HMI connection.

• High‑Speed I/O: Handles time‑critical signals (vision trigger, conveyor tracking, encoder feedback).

• System Expansion: Adds dedicated communication/servo slots, offloading the main CPU board.

Compatibility

• Exclusively for: NXC100 controllers (Rev. B and later firmware)

• Compatible Boards:

  • JANCD‑NCP30B (CPU board)

  • JANCD‑NCU31B (backplane interface)

  • JANCD‑NTU30B (terminal I/O board)

• Not Compatible With: NX100, YRC1000, DX series controllers

• Replaces: NIF30‑1‑E (Rev. A); pin‑to‑pin compatible with minor firmware updates.

Technical Notes

• Mounting: Installs in a dedicated NXC100 I/O/communication slot.

• Environment: 0–40°C, 5–85% RH (non‑condensing), IP20.

• Warranty: Typically 12 months for new units, 90 days for refurbished.

Common Confusions

• NIF30B‑1: Rev. B communication/servo interface (NXC100, faster, better isolation)

• NIF30‑1‑E: Rev. A interface (older NXC100 firmware)

• NIO01B: Digital I/O board (NX100, sensors/actuators)

• NCU31B: CPU backplane interface (internal NXC100 routing)
