Mitsubishi Electric Automation Introduces Multi-Network Servo Drives

POSTED 07/11/2016

MR-J4-TM multi-network servo drives with EtherNet/IP™ and EtherCAT® interfacesVERNON HILLS, Ill. – Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. introduces the MR-J4-TM multi-network servo drives with EtherNet/IP™ and EtherCAT® interfaces. A PROFINET® interface will be available later this year.

“The MR-J4-TM multi-network servo drive combines the industry-leading performance of the MR-J4 family of servos with common industrial Ethernet protocols,” said Bryan Knight, automation solutions team leader and product manager, Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. The Advanced Vibration Suppression Control II™, One-Touch Auto-Tuning™, 2.5kHz speed frequency response, and 4,194,304 pulse per revolution encoder resolution make it easy to integrate into new and existing machine designs.

Key benefits of the MR-J4-TM multi-network servo drives include:

  • Dual 100BASE-TX Ethernet ports in line, tree and star topologies for maximum flexibility in wiring layout
  • Advanced One-Touch Auto-Tuning for optimum performance with no tuning experience necessary
  • 2.5 kHz speed frequency response for short settling time
  • High resolution 4,194,304 pulse/revolution absolute encoders for high speed and accuracy
  • Advanced Vibration Suppression Control II for vibration suppression on both the load and the machine base

The MR-J4-TM also includes standard IEC61158 Type12 CAN application protocol over EtherCAT (CoE), IEC61800-7 CiA402 drive profile. It also comes with add-on instructions for EtherNet/IP networks using ControlLogix® or CompactLogix® controllers.
