    • RUN: CPU executing

    • ERR: System fault

    • COM: Communication activity


4. Safety Precautions

WARNING
  • Disconnect main power before installation/removal; wait 15 minutes for capacitor discharge (shock hazard).

  • Do not insert/remove the CF card while power is ON (data corruption risk).

  • Ground the cabinet properly (<0.1 Ω) before powering ON.

  • Keep away from water, oil mist, dust, and direct sunlight.

CAUTION
  • Replace only with JANCD-YCP01-E (YCP01A/B-E compatible; do not use YCP21-E).

  • Do not bend, drop, or touch gold contacts with bare hands (static damage).

  • Use only a dry lint-free cloth for cleaning.


5. Installation Procedure

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

  2. Cabinet Access: Open front door; locate dedicated CPU slot on YBB01 backplane.

  3. Board Insertion:

    • Align YCP01-E with slot guides.

    • Push firmly until fully seated (latch clicks).

  4. Cable Connection:

    • CN101 → Teach pendant cable.

    • CN102 → Ethernet cable (if used).

    • CN105 → Backplane system bus (auto-connects when seated).

  5. Close Cabinet: Secure front door; restore main power.

  6. Verification: Check PWR + RUN LEDs (ON); confirm teach pendant boots.


6. Replacement Instructions

  1. Backup Data: Save all programs, parameters, and system data to CF card.

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

  3. Disconnect Cables: Unplug CN101, CN102, CN103, CN104.

  4. Remove Old Board: Release latch; pull board straight out (avoid twisting).

  5. Install New Board: Follow Section 5 steps 3–4.

  6. Reconnect Cables: Verify port labels match.

  7. Power ON & Restore: Boot system; load backup data from CF card.

  8. Test: Verify motion, I/O, and communication functions.


7. Troubleshooting

PWR LED OFF

  • Check DC24V supply to CPU slot.

  • Verify YBB01 backplane power.

  • Check for loose CN105 connection.

RUN LED OFF / ERR LED ON

  • CPU fault: Re-seat board; check for bent pins.

  • Firmware corruption: Restore system firmware via CF card.

  • Backplane fault: Inspect YBB01 for damage.

Teach Pendant No Connection

  • Check CN101 cable and connector.

  • Verify teach pendant power (from CPU board).

  • Test with known-good teach pendant.

Ethernet/Serial Communication Fail

  • Check cable and connector integrity.

  • Verify IP address/serial settings in system parameters.

  • Check COM LED for activity (flashing = data flow).


8. Maintenance

  • 6-Month Inspection: Check connectors for tightness, dust buildup, and LED status.

  • Cleaning: Use dry lint-free cloth; avoid touching contacts.

  • CF Card Care: Use industrial-grade CF cards; replace every 2–3 years.

  • Replacement Life: 5–8 years (or immediately if LEDs fail, board is burned/corroded, or communication is unstable).


9. Compatibility

  • Fully Compatible: DX100 with YBB01 backplane.

  • Variants:

    • YCP01A-E: Standard (base firmware)

    • YCP01B-E: High-temperature (-10 °C to +55 °C)

  • Not Compatible: DX200 (uses YCP21-E), NX100 (uses NCP01).
