Yokogawa F3YP18-0N 8-Axis Positioning Module

Yokogawa F3YP18-0N 8-Axis Positioning Module

Product Introduction

The F3YP18-0N is a high-density positioning module built for the Yokogawa FA-M3 programmable controller series. Specifically, it controls eight axes through open-loop position control and position command reference pulse output. This module suits servo and stepping motor applications that demand precise multi-axis coordination.

Technical Specifications

The F3YP18-0N supports eight independent axes in a single slot, which saves rack space in compact FA-M3 systems. Output pulses follow the RS-422A differential standard for reliable noise immunity over long cable runs.

Pulse output reaches 3,998,000 pps for servomotors and 499,750 pps for stepping motors. Additionally, the position reference range spans -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 pulses, covering large travel distances without overflow.

Speed reference starts at 0.1 pps and scales up to the maximum pulse rate. Furthermore, acceleration and deceleration times are independently configurable from 0 to 32,767 ms, giving engineers fine control over motion profiles.

The module provides trapezoidal and S-shape ACC/DCC curves. For instance, S-curve profiles reduce mechanical shock on high-speed moves. Next, interpolation functions include PTP movement and multi-axis linear interpolation under CPU control.

Origin search is user-definable through origin and limit inputs. Besides, encoder Z-phase input and an automatic origin search mode are available for flexible homing routines.

External contact inputs accept limit switches, origin signals, and encoder Z-phase pulses. Meanwhile, a deviation pulse clear signal is available as an external contact output. Data backup goes to the CPU module and to Flash ROM, protecting parameters after power loss.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The module installs in the FA-M3 base unit and draws power from the backplane. Moreover, its compact front panel keeps wiring organized in dense cabinets. Operating temperature follows the standard FA-M3 range for industrial control rooms. In addition, the RS-422A differential output resists electrical noise common on factory floors.

Installation Guide

First, power down the FA-M3 base unit before inserting the F3YP18-0N. Next, align the module with the slot guides and seat it firmly. Then, connect the pulse output wiring to the servo or stepper driver using shielded twisted-pair cable.

After wiring, set axis parameters through the CPU module configuration. Specifically, define pulse output mode, speed reference, and ACC/DCC times for each axis. Finally, run the origin search routine and verify positioning before full operation.
