Yaskawa JANCD-CG02 Graphic & Communication Board

JANCD-CG02 is the second hardware revision in Yaskawa’s JANCD-CG series, a high-performance color graphic and communication PCB designed for YASNAC CNC systems and Motoman robot controllers. It upgrades the CG01 platform with enhanced display driving, faster data processing, and more robust communication circuits, serving as a core auxiliary board alongside the main CPU to deliver reliable HMI, real-time monitoring, and high-speed external data exchange.

Description

Model Definition

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

  • CG: Graphic & Communication (color graphic support).

  • 02: Second hardware revision, with optimized layout, upgraded components, and improved noise immunity over CG01.

Technical Specifications

Electrical

  • Power Supply: 24 V DC ±10%

  • Processor: 32-bit graphic/communication MCU with faster rendering speed

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

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

  • EMC: Enhanced surge and electrostatic discharge protection for industrial environments

Mechanical & Environmental

  • Mounting: Standard slot installation in controller racks

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

  • Weight: 0.5–0.7 kg

  • Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 45 °C

  • Humidity: 10%–80% (non-condensing)

  • Protection Class: IP20 (for indoor control cabinets)

Core Functions

  • Drives color LCD/CRT operator panels to display real-time machining data, axis coordinates, CNC programs, and alarm messages.

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

  • Enables high-speed, stable communication with host computers, PLCs, and peripheral devices.

  • Offloads graphic rendering and data preprocessing from the main CPU, boosting system response efficiency.

  • Provides real-time monitoring and diagnostic functions for operator panels and onboard circuits.

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 board revisions.

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.

  • Pin-compatible with CG01 but offers better color display performance and communication stability.

  • Ensure cabinet ventilation and clean power supply to extend service life.
