JANCD-SR20

JANCD-SR20 is a servo axis control board manufactured by Yaskawa Electric, part of the JANCD-SR series for YASNAC CNC and Motoman robot systems. It is a later-generation, high-density motion control card designed for multi-axis coordination in legacy controllers. The board is discontinued; only used or refurbished units are available on the market today.

Description

1. General Description

JANCD-SR20 is a servo axis control board manufactured by Yaskawa Electric, part of the JANCD-SR series for YASNAC CNC and Motoman robot systems. It is a later-generation, high-density motion control card designed for multi-axis coordination in legacy controllers. The board is discontinued; only used or refurbished units are available on the market today.

2. Specifications

  • Form Factor: Standard plug-in card for Yaskawa backplane slots, green PCB with gold-edge connectors.

  • Power Supply: +5 V DC, ±12 V DC from backplane; typical current 1.5 A.

  • Processor: Dedicated 16-bit motion control DSP for fast loop closure.

  • Memory: 256 KB RAM (data/buffers), 128 KB ROM (firmware).

  • Max Axes: Up to 4 synchronized servo axes (position, speed, torque control).

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

  • Storage Temperature: −20 °C to +60 °C.

  • Humidity: 5%–85% RH, non-condensing.

3. Core Functions

  • Multi-Axis Servo Control: Executes closed-loop position, velocity, and torque control for up to 4 axes; supports linear/circular interpolation and electronic gearing.

  • Trajectory Planning: Generates smooth motion profiles (trapezoidal, S-curve) and handles acceleration/deceleration for high-precision machining and robot motion.

  • Encoder Feedback: Reads incremental or absolute encoder signals for real-time position correction and speed monitoring.

  • System Bus Communication: Interfaces with the main CPU board (e.g., JANCD-SR03) via the backplane bus for command exchange and status reporting.

  • I/O & Safety: Manages servo enable, limit switches, emergency stop, and alarm signals; includes hardware overcurrent/overvoltage protection.

4. Compatibility

  • Compatible Systems: YASNAC LX / MX series CNC; Motoman ERC robot controllers.

  • Compatible Boards: Works with JANCD-SR01/SR02/SR03 (CPU) and SP-series interface boards.

  • Incompatible: XRC, NX100, DX, YRC controllers; JANCD-SR21 and newer CPU boards.

5. Installation & Maintenance

  • Power Off First: Disconnect main power and wait ≥5 minutes for capacitor discharge before handling.

  • ESD Protection: Use an anti-static wrist strap to prevent static damage to components.

  • Insertion: Align with backplane slot, insert firmly, and secure screws.

  • Cleaning: Keep contacts free of dust/oil; clean gold edges with isopropyl alcohol during maintenance.

6. Common Troubleshooting

  • No Axis Motion: Check backplane power, re-seat the board, clean gold contacts.

  • Position Deviation: Verify encoder wiring, check parameter settings (gain, backlash), test motor/encoder.

  • System Communication Loss: Inspect backplane bus, re-seat adjacent boards (CPU/IO).
