Yaskawa JANCD-MCP01 High-performance main control board
YASKAWA JANCD-MCP01 Introduction
The YASKAWA JANCD-MCP01 is a high-performance Main CPU Control Board specifically engineered for the Yaskawa Motoman NX100 robot controller.
It serves as the primary processing hub of the system, responsible for motion path calculation, executing high-level robot language commands (INFORM III), and managing system-wide communication between peripheral I/O and the drive units.
As the “heart” of the NX100 controller, the MCP01 board handles the complex kinematics required for multi-axis robot movements, ensuring precision and smooth trajectory control.
