Yokogawa F3YP14-0N | FA-M3 Motion Control Module

Yokogawa F3YP14-0N Positioning Module for FA-M3 Controllers

Product Introduction

The F3YP14-0N from Yokogawa provides precise pulse-train motion control for FA-M3 programmable controllers. As a positioning module, it drives servo and stepping motors through open-loop position commands. The model F3YP14-0N controls four axes in a single slot and suits machine tools, transfer lines, and assembly stations. Engineers choose this module when they need high pulse rates with flexible acceleration profiles.

Technical Specifications

The F3YP14-0N generates position command pulses with RS-422A compliant differential output. Specifically, it reaches 3,998,000 pps for servomotors and 499,750 pps for stepping motors. Additionally, the module stores position references across a wide range of -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 pulses. Speed settings start from 0.1 pps, which allows fine low-speed control.

Key Motion and Output Parameters:

• Number of Axes: 4.

• Control System: Open-loop position control via pulse output.

• Output Type: RS-422A compliant differential output.

• Maximum Output Pulse Rate: 3,998,000 pps (servo) / 499,750 pps (stepping).

• Position Reference Range: -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 pulses.

• Speed Reference Range: 0.1 to 3,998,000 pps (servo) / 0.1 to 499,750 pps (stepping).

• Interpolation: PTP movement and multi-axis linear interpolation under CPU control.

Acceleration and Origin Search Functions

The F3YP14-0N supports both trapezoidal and S-shape acceleration/deceleration curves. Users can set acceleration and deceleration times independently from 0 to 32,767 ms. This flexibility reduces mechanical shock during high-speed moves.

Origin search offers several configurable modes. The module accepts origin and limit switch inputs plus encoder Z-phase signals. Moreover, an automatic origin search mode simplifies commissioning. Search speed remains user-definable, which helps match different machine characteristics.

I/O Signals:

• External Contact Inputs: Limit switches, origin input, encoder Z-phase.

• External Contact Output: Deviation pulse clear signal.

• Data Backup: Backup to CPU module and Flash ROM.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The module fits standard FA-M3 base units and occupies one I/O slot. Its pulse-train design avoids the need for analog wiring between the controller and motor drives. Therefore, installation stays simple and immune to drift.

Physical Characteristics:

• Form Factor: Single-slot FA-M3 module.

• Weight: Approximately 0.2 kg.

• Wiring: Differential pulse outputs to servo or stepper drivers.

• Data Retention: Flash ROM backup plus CPU module storage.

Installation Guide

Correct wiring and parameter setup ensure accurate positioning. First, confirm that the FA-M3 base unit has a free slot and that system power is off. Next, insert the F3YP14-0N into the slot and secure the front panel.

Pulse output wiring requires shielded twisted pair cables for the differential signals. Moreover, connect limit switches and the origin sensor to the designated input terminals. Finally, configure acceleration times, speed limits, and origin search parameters in the programming software before test runs.
