Quick Tuning

Quick Tuning

This function automatically performs easy-to-use auto tuning that controls vibration and overshoot just by turning on the servo-on command. Before normal operation, the servo amplifier sets control gain and machine resonance suppression filters in 0.3 seconds by inputting torque to the servo motor automatically. After completing the setting, the servo amplifier starts operation normally.

One-Touch Tuning

This function automatically completes servo gain adjustment according to the mechanical characteristics and reduces the settling time just by turning on the one-touch tuning. The servo gain adjustment includes the machine resonance suppression filter, advanced vibration suppression control II, and the robust filter. Controlling overshoot and vibration is improved, maximizing your machine performance.

One-Touch Tuning

Advanced Vibration Suppression Control Ⅱ

This function suppresses two types of low frequency vibrations, owing to vibration suppression algorithm which supports three-inertia system. This function is effective in suppressing residual vibration with relatively low frequency of approximately 100 Hz or less generated at the end of an arm and in a machine, enabling a shorter settling time. Adjustment is easily performed on MR Configurator2.

Advanced Vibration Suppression Control Ⅱ

Command Notch Filter

The frequency can be set close to the machine vibration frequency because the command notch filter has an applicable frequency range between approximately 1 Hz and 2000 Hz.

Machine Resonance Suppression Filter

The expanded applicable frequency range is between 10 Hz and 8000 Hz. Five filters are simultaneously applicable, improving vibration suppression performance of a machine. The machine resonance frequency is detected by the machine analyzer function in MR Configurator2.

Reduced Energy and Maximized Space with Simplified Wiring (200 V Class)

Simple Converter MR-CM

Utilizing a common bus connection conserves energy through the efficient use of regenerative power. Wiring can be simplified and installation space can be saved by reducing the number of molded-case circuit breakers and magnetic contactors. The MR-CM simple converter can connect to up to six compatible servo amplifiers having a total capacity of 3 kW or lower.
Wiring for the bus and the control circuit power supply can be simplified by using daisy chain power connectors for passing wiring.

Features of MR-J5D-G4 Drive Units

Space-Saving with 3-Axis Drive Units (Smaller Width)

Space-Saving with 3-Axis Drive Units (Smaller Width)

The 400 V class 3-axis drive units enable space-saving.
For example, when 3-axis drive units in 1 kW are used instead of 1-axis servo amplifiers in 1 kW for driving six axes, the installation width can be reduced by 200 mm.
The number of molded-case circuit breakers and magnetic contactors can also be reduced.

Energy-Saving with 400 V Class Systems

Further Energy-Saving with Common DC Bus Connection and Power Regeneration System J5D-G4

When multiple MR-J5D-G4 drive units are connected to an MR-CV_4 power regeneration converter unit by a common DC bus connection, the regenerative power of one axis can be used for driving other axes, contributing to energy-saving.
The MR-CV_4 power regeneration converter unit has a power regeneration system which returns the regenerative power back to the power supply, enabling the regenerative energy to be used for other systems for further energy-saving. In addition, when the converter unit is used, a regenerative option is not required, resulting in reduction of heat generation.

  • Cumulative energization time (Smoothing condenser/
    cooling fan life span)
  • The number of inrush relay on/off times (Inrush relay life)

Corrective Maintenance

Drive Recorder

This function continuously monitors the servo status and records the status transition such as a trigger condition before and after an alarm for a fixed period of time. Reading the servo data on MR Configurator2 helps you analyze the cause of the alarm. In addition to the monitor values and the waveform of the past 16-time alarms in the alarm history, the system configuration and the servo parameters are displayed. Alarm occurrence time is also displayed when the servo amplifier and the controller are normally in communication on CC-Link IE TSN.
The data can be outputted to a GX LogViewer format file.

Drive Recorder

Connection/Communication Diagnosis

Disconnection Detection

Disconnection Detection

The servo amplifiers are equipped with both input open-phase detection and output open-phase detection. Input open-phase detection detects an open phase of the main circuit power supply of the servo amplifier, and output open-phase detection detects an open phase of the servo motor power supply. The alarm can be distinguished from other alarms such as the overload alarm, reducing the time required to restore the system.
MR-J5D-G4 drive units support only output open-phase detection.

Servo Motor Incorrect Wiring Detection J5W2-GJ5W3-G

Servo Motor Incorrect Wiring Detection

Multi-axis servo amplifiers MR-J5W2-G/MRJ5W3-G detect servo motors with a different capacity that are incorrectly connected to the A-axis/B-axis/C-axis, contributing to servo motor protection. The servo amplifiers obtain servo motor capacity information of the connected servo motors from the encoders and check whether the servo motors which are connected to the power connectors match the capacity information. If the information is not matched, an alarm occurs.*1

  • *1. The incorrect wiring detection does not work for servo motors with the same capacity.

Encoder Communication Diagnosis

Encoder Communication Diagnosis

The encoder communication diagnosis checks the encoder communication circuit in the servo amplifier. This function is useful for classifying the cause of errors (such as disconnected encoder cables) when the encoder communication alarm occurs.

Path Control

Super Trace Control

This function reduces a position deviation to nearly zero not only during constant-velocity operation, but also during constant acceleration/deceleration.
The path accuracy will be improved in high-rigidity machines.

Super Trace Control

Lost Motion Compensation

This function suppresses quadrant protrusion caused by friction and torsion generated when the servo motor rotates in a reverse direction.
Therefore, the accuracy of circular path will be improved in path control used in XY table, etc.

Lost Motion Compensation

Path Tracking Model Adaptive Control

This function reduces path errors which occur when the servo motor reciprocates. Normally, when positioning control is executed, the model adaptive control adjusts the control to shorten a settling time. Instead, this function reduces overshooting to improve path accuracy, which is suitable for machines that require high-accuracy path control such as processing machines.

Path Tracking Model Adaptive Control
