JANCD-FC420 (Yaskawa YASNAC I80 High-Density I/O Board) Brand: Yaskawa / Yasnac Model: JANCD-FC420 Type: High‑Density Digital I/O Board for YASNAC I80 CNC Status: EOL (End of Life) – only used/ refurbished/ surplus available on the market

Description

1. General Description

The JANCD‑FC420 is a high‑density digital input/output board designed for the YASNAC I80 / I80M CNC systems. It provides expanded I/O capacity for complex machine tools and automation systems, acting as an advanced upgrade over the standard FC400 and mid‑range FC410 boards.

2. Basic Specifications

  • Applicable system: YASNAC I80 / I80M (requires FC250/FC251 CPU board)

  • Backplane: JANCD‑FC001 (standard I80 backplane, 1 slot)

  • Board size: Full‑length (≈267 × 140 mm, same as FC410/FC310)

  • Power supply: DC 24V ±10%, approx. 1.5 A

  • Operating temperature: 0 to +45°C

  • Storage temperature: −20 to +60°C

  • Revision: Final revision A02


3. I/O Configuration (High‑Density)

Inputs (IN): 96 points

  • Signal level: DC 24V, sink/source selectable (NPN/PNP compatible)

    - 用途:Limit switches, proximity sensors, pushbuttons, E‑stop, tool sensors, clamps, pallets

  • Response time: ≤1 ms

Outputs (OUT): 96 points (transistor)

  • Voltage: DC 24V, max 0.5 A per point

    - 用途:Solenoids, relays, indicators, alarms, cylinders, motor start signals

  • Protection: Self‑resetting fuse per point, overload/short‑circuit protection

Connectors

  • CN42: I/O terminal block (96IN / 96OUT, screw terminals, 3 rows)

  • CN20: System bus (to backplane, communication with FC250/FC251)

  • LEDs: Power, bus status, IN/OUT channel status for diagnostics

5. System Compatibility & Combinations

Mandatory pairing

  • CPU board: JANCD‑FC250 (standard) or FC251 (high‑grade)

  • Backplane: JANCD‑FC001

Recommended configurations

  • High‑density setup: FC251 + 1×FC420 (max I/O for I80)

  • Mixed setup: FC251 + FC420 + FC400 (128IN/128OUT total)

  • Axis boards: FC300B (3‑axis feed), FC310 (spindle)

Limitations

  • Cannot be used standalone (depends on FC250/FC251 for power and bus)

  • Occupies 1 full slot on FC001 backplane

  • I80 system limit: 1×FC420 maximum (due to high bus load)


6. Common Faults & Alarms

  • A.420 Bus error: CN20 loose, backplane contact failure, bus chip fault

  • No input signals: CN42 wiring loose, 24V supply fault, input channel burnout

  • Outputs not activating: Overload/short circuit, load fault, wiring error

  • All LEDs off: Backplane 24V missing, internal fuse blown

  • Partial channel failure: Terminal block oxidation, bent pins, internal trace damage


7. Applications

  • Large 5‑axis machining centers (massive I/O for clamps, pallets, tools)

  • Multi‑station transfer machines (high sensor/actuator count)

  • Automated production lines (machine + material handling + inspection)

  • High‑end turn‑mill centers (dual spindle + multiple turrets)

  • Legacy machine upgrades (max I/O expansion without full CNC replacement)
