JANCD-NIQ01

JANCD‑NIQ01 is a digital I/O expansion board (often called “NIQ01”) for the Yaskawa Motoman NX100 robot controller. It provides additional high‑speed, isolated I/O points for connecting external sensors, actuators, PLCs, and safety devices in automated cells.

Description

Basic Information

  • Model: JANCD‑NIQ01 (common revision: ‑1 / ‑B‑1)

  • Manufacturer: Yaskawa Electric / Motoman Robotics

  • Applicable controller: NX100 series (not compatible with NXC100, YRC1000, DX200)

  • Function: Expansion digital input/output board

  • Status: Obsolete / end‑of‑production (available as new old stock, refurbished, or used)

  • Origin: Japan

Technical Specifications

  • I/O configuration: Typically 32 inputs / 32 outputs (24 VDC)

  • Input type: Opto‑isolated, NPN sink, 24 VDC, response ≤ 1 ms

  • Output type: Transistor, 0.5 A per channel, overcurrent/short‑circuit protection

  • Connectors: Two high‑density external I/O connectors (user wiring) + backplane edge connector

  • Power: 24 VDC supplied by NX100 backplane

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

Key Functions

  1. I/O expansion: Adds extra user I/O when the standard JANCD‑NIO01 is insufficient.

  2. System & safety signals: Handles emergency stop, safety doors, external start/stop, and robot status interlocks.

  3. High‑speed interfacing: Suited for fast events like vision triggers, encoder latching, and high‑speed conveyor sync.

  4. Peripheral control: Connects pneumatic cylinders, solenoids, sensors, fixtures, and PLC handshakes.

Compatibility & Mounting

  • Controller: NX100 only (works alongside JANCD‑NCP01 (CPU) and JANCD‑NIF01 (I/F board)).

  • Slot: Installs in an NX100 expansion slot on the backplane.

  • Similar models (do not confuse):

    • JANCD‑NIO01: Standard NX100 I/O board (40/40)

    • JANCD‑NIQ01: NX100 I/O expansion board (32/32)

    • JANCD‑NIO30B: NXC100 I/O board (32/32)

    • JANCD‑NIF01: NX100 communication/ servo interface board

Installation & Safety Notes

  • Power off the controller and wait for capacitor discharge before installation/removal.

  • Use an ESD wristband to prevent static damage.

  • Separate I/O cables from high‑voltage power cables to reduce noise.

  • All service must be performed by qualified personnel.
