JANCD-CP11 (Yaskawa ERC Robot Main CPU Board)

JANCD-CP11 (often miswritten as CPII) is the main CPU board for Yaskawa Motoman ERC-series robot controllers. It is the core motion and system control PCB for older Yaskawa robots, now discontinued; only new surplus, refurbished, and used units are available for maintenance.

Description

Basic Specifications

  • Manufacturer: Yaskawa Electric (Yasnac/Motoman)

  • Model: JANCD-CP11 (CP11, not CPII)

  • Type: Robot Main CPU / Motion Control Board

  • Compatible System: Motoman ERC Robot Controller (exclusive; not for J50/CP50 series)

  • Processor: 16/32-bit industrial CPU (ERC-era)

  • Max. Control Axes: Up to 6 axes (standard robot)

  • Power Supply: 24 V DC

  • Weight: Approx. 0.45 kg

  • Operating Temp: 0 °C ~ 45 °C (industrial)

  • Status: Discontinued (new old stock, refurbished, used)

  • Warranty: 12–24 months (seller-dependent)

Key Features

  1. ERC Robot Core: Dedicated CPU for ERC-series robots, handling motion control, program execution, and system management.

  2. 6-Axis Motion Control: Optimized for 6-axis robotic arms; supports point-to-point, linear, and circular interpolation.

  3. Compact & Rugged: Vibration-resistant, EMI-hardened PCB for factory floor conditions; designed for long-term reliability.

  4. Onboard Diagnostics: Built-in self-diagnosis and error logging for fast troubleshooting and maintenance.

  5. Legacy Communication: Supports serial (RS-232C) and I/O linking to teach pendants, peripherals, and older Yaskawa drives.

Core Functions

  1. Execute robot programs and compute real-time joint/trajectory motion.

  2. Control servo drives for 6 robotic axes; manage speed/position loops.

  3. Handle I/O signals, teach pendant communication, and system safety logic.

  4. Store robot parameters, user programs, and tool data.

  5. Provide fault diagnostics and error codes for quick repair.

Compatibility & Notes

  • CP11 vs. CP50/CP50B: CP11 = ERC robot CPU; CP50/CP50B = J50 CNC CPUnot interchangeable (different hardware, firmware, and form factors).

  • Not CPII: The correct part number is CP11 (Roman numeral II is a common miswriting).

  • Legacy Only: Exclusively for Motoman ERC robots (pre-NX100/DX100); no longer in production.
