Yaskawa JANCD-CG01C Graphic & Communication Board

JANCD-CG01C is a further upgraded hardware variant of the JANCD-CG series, a high-reliability graphic and communication PCB for Yaskawa CNC and robot controllers. The suffix “C” stands for Controller-compatible / Enhanced Communication, indicating improved circuitry, better component tolerance, and refined EMC performance compared to CG01. It serves as a key auxiliary board, working alongside the main CPU board to deliver stable display drive, HMI handling, and external data link in YASNAC CNC and Motoman XRC/NX100 robot systems.

Description

Model Definition

  • JANCD: Yaskawa standard prefix for CNC/robot control PCBs.

  • CG: Graphic & Communication.

  • 01: First hardware revision of the CG platform.

  • C: Enhanced version with improved communication robustness, wider voltage tolerance, and better environmental adaptability.

Technical Specifications

Electrical

  • Power Supply: 24 V DC ±15% (wider than CG01)

  • Processor: 32-bit graphic/communication MCU with enhanced error handling

  • Interfaces: LCD/CRT video port, RS-232/485, Ethernet, and dedicated panel I/O

  • Protocols: Ethernet TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, and Yaskawa proprietary protocols

  • EMC: Improved surge and noise immunity for harsh industrial environments

Mechanical & Environmental

  • Mounting: Standard slot mount in controller racks

  • Dimensions: Approx. 220 mm × 180 mm × 30 mm

  • Weight: 0.5–0.7 kg

  • Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 50 °C (extended upper limit)

  • Humidity: 10%–85% (non-condensing)

  • Protection Class: IP20 (for indoor control cabinets)

Core Functions

  • Drives LCD/CRT operator panels, showing real-time machining data, axis positions, programs, and alarms.

  • Processes inputs from MDI keyboards, manual pulse generators, and function keys for full HMI.

  • Provides high-speed, noise-resistant communication with host computers, PLCs, and peripherals.

  • Offloads graphic rendering and data preprocessing from the main CPU to boost system efficiency.

  • Monitors panel and circuit status with enhanced diagnostic features for easier maintenance.

Application

  • YASNAC J30/J50 series CNC machine tools (lathes, mills, machining centers).

  • Motoman XRC/NX100 robot controllers (welding, material handling, assembly).

  • Legacy Yaskawa automation line maintenance; direct drop-in replacement for CG01 and older CG boards.

Compatibility & Notes

  • Compatible with backplanes: JANCD-B, JANCD-BB03, JANCD-BB50 (match controller model).

  • Not interchangeable with main CPU boards or standard digital I/O boards.

  • “C” version is pin-compatible with CG01 but offers better stability in high-noise, high-temperature environments.

  • Ensure cabinet ventilation and clean power supply for long-term reliability.
