3. Board Configuration & Slot Assignment

The JANCD-YBB01 provides multiple vertical slots for plug-in control boards. All slots use gold-plated edge connectors for high reliability.
Slot allocation (from left to right):
  1. CPU Slot: For JANCD-YCPxx series CPU board

  2. Safety Slot: For JANCD-YSF21-E / YSF22-E safety board

  3. Servo Interface Slot: For JANCD-YIF01-4E robot axis interface board

  4. I/O Expansion Slots: For JANCD-YIO21-E, JANCD-Y1021, and other optional I/O boards

On-board connectors:
  • Power connectors: For internal 24 VDC distribution

  • Bus connectors: For system communication between boards

  • Ground terminals: For cabinet ground connection


4. Safety Precautions

WARNING
  • Always disconnect the main power before installing, removing, or touching the backplane or any board.

  • After power-off, wait at least 15 minutes for internal capacitors to discharge before handling.

  • Do not insert or remove boards while power is applied; this may cause permanent damage and fire hazard.

  • Ensure proper grounding of the backplane and cabinet to prevent electric shock and noise issues.

  • Do not expose the board to water, oil mist, dust, or direct sunlight.

CAUTION
  • Use only the identical model (JANCD-YBB01) for replacement.

  • Do not bend, drop, or apply excessive force to the PCB.

  • Keep the backplane clean; use only a dry cloth for cleaning.


5. Installation Procedure

  1. Power OFF: Turn off the controller main power and wait 15 minutes.

  2. Cabinet access: Open the controller front door.

  3. Mounting position: Locate the backplane mounting area in the cabinet rack.

  4. Fixing: Align the backplane with the mounting holes and secure it with four screws (two at top, two at bottom). Do not over-tighten.

  5. Board insertion:

    • Insert CPU board into CPU slot until fully seated.

    • Insert safety board, servo interface board, and I/O boards into their respective slots.

    • Ensure each board is fully inserted and locked with the slot latch.

  6. Internal wiring: Connect 24 VDC power cables and ground wires to the designated terminals on the backplane.

  7. Close cabinet: Close and lock the cabinet door.

  8. Power ON: Restore main power and verify normal system startup.


6. Replacement Instructions

  1. Backup data: Before replacement, back up all robot programs, parameters, and system data using the teach pendant or external storage.

  2. Power OFF: Disconnect main power and wait 15 minutes.

  3. Remove all boards: Unplug and remove all boards (CPU, safety, I/F, I/O) from the old backplane.

  4. Remove old backplane: Unscrew the four mounting screws and carefully take out the old backplane.

  5. Install new backplane: Follow the installation procedure in Section 5.

  6. Reinstall boards: Insert all boards into the new backplane in the correct order.

  7. Restore data: After power-on, restore the backed-up data to the controller.

  8. Verification: Perform a full system check and test run to confirm normal operation.


7. Troubleshooting

No power to backplane

  • Check that the main power is ON.

  • Verify 24 VDC power supply output.

  • Check loose or damaged power cables.

  • Confirm backplane fuse (if equipped) is intact.

System fails to boot after replacement

  • Ensure all boards are fully inserted and locked.

  • Check for bent or dirty edge connectors.

  • Verify correct slot assignment for each board.

  • Restore system data and parameters.

Communication errors between boards

  • Inspect edge connectors for dirt, oxidation, or damage.

  • Check for loose board insertion.

  • Verify backplane ground connection.

  • Check for excessive noise or vibration in the cabinet.


8. Maintenance

  • Periodic inspection: Every 6 months, check for loose screws, dirty connectors, or signs of overheating.

  • Cleaning: Use a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust from the PCB and connectors. Do not use liquid cleaners.

  • Connector care: Keep edge connectors clean and free of oxidation. Use contact cleaner only if necessary.

  • Replacement life: Recommended replacement every 5 to 8 years, or if damage, burning, or corrosion is observed.
