JANCD-DP07D

JANCD‑DP07D is a PROFIBUS‑DP communication slave board manufactured by Yaskawa Electric (Motoman Robotics). It is a dedicated option board for the Motoman XRC / XR‑C robot controllers, enabling high‑speed, real‑time data exchange between the robot and a PROFIBUS‑DP master (e.g., Siemens PLC).

Description

1. Product Overview

JANCD‑DP07D is a PROFIBUS‑DP communication slave board manufactured by Yaskawa Electric (Motoman Robotics). It is a dedicated option board for the Motoman XRC / XR‑C robot controllers, enabling high‑speed, real‑time data exchange between the robot and a PROFIBUS‑DP master (e.g., Siemens PLC).
It allows the robot to act as a DP slave, supporting cyclic I/O data exchange and acyclic parameter access, and is widely used in automotive, metalworking, and general automation lines for seamless robot‑PLC integration.
