Yaskawa JANCD-1021 (I/O Control Board)

JANCD-1021(also known as JANCD-IO21)is a high-density digital I/O board for Yaskawa YASNAC i80/i90 CNC and Motoman XRC robot controllers, serving as an enhanced variant of the JANCD-1020. It is discontinued (EOL) but widely used for maintenance and replacement in legacy CNC and robot systems.

Description

Model Definition

  • JANCD: Yaskawa CNC/robot control board series

  • 1021: 10-series, high-density I/O board (upgrade of 1020)

  • Rev A01: Common hardware revision; DF8202440: Yaskawa internal part number


Key Specifications

Electrical

  • Power Supply: 24 V DC ±10%

  • I/O Points: 112 inputs / 68 outputs (24 V DC, sink/source selectable)

  • Isolation: Opto-isolated, 500 V AC dielectric strength

  • Response Time: ≤2 μs

  • Connectors: 5×50-pin ribbon cables (J1–J5)

  • LEDs: 20 status indicators (power, run, alarm, I/O status)

Mechanical & Environmental

  • Mounting: Standard rack slot (i80/i90 CNC, XRC robot backplane)

  • Dimensions: 245 × 155 × 30 mm

  • Weight: Approx. 1.4 kg

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

  • Protection: IP20 (conformal coating optional)


Main Features

  1. High-Density I/O: 180 I/O points total (112IN/68OUT), 40% higher than JANCD-1020, ideal for complex machines.

  2. Enhanced Compatibility: Directly compatible with YASNAC i80/i90 CNC and Motoman XRC robot controllers.

  3. Noise Immunity: Opto-isolation and differential signaling ensure reliability in harsh industrial environments.

  4. Diagnostic LEDs: Real-time status monitoring for quick troubleshooting.

  5. Legacy Replacement: Drop-in upgrade for JANCD-1020; no wiring changes required.


Applications

  • YASNAC i80/i90 CNC (milling, turning, machining centers)

  • Motoman XRC robot controllers (welding, material handling, assembly)

  • Legacy automation requiring high-density discrete I/O

  • Replacement/retrofit for failed JANCD-1021 or JANCD-1020 boards


Compatibility Notes

  • Not interchangeable with JANCD-1003 (servo I/O), 1004 (digital input), or 1006 (encoder I/O) series.

  • Backward compatible with JANCD-1020 (direct swap, no wiring changes).
