YASKAWA JRMSP-P8101 Power module
The YASKAWA JRMSP-P8101 (often simply referred to as the P8101) is a high-capacity Main Power Supply Module from the legacy Memocon-SC series
(specifically the U84 and 1000 series architectures).
It is the primary energy source for large-scale PLC racks, providing the necessary DC voltages to power the CPU, memory, and specialized I/O modules.
Introduction
The JRMSP-P8101 is a heavy-duty power supply unit designed to be mounted on the far-left side of a Memocon-SC mounting base (such as the JRMSI-B1031).
It is known for its extreme reliability in high-demand industrial environments, particularly in the marine and heavy manufacturing sectors.
It converts 100V AC input into stabilized DC rails for the internal system bus.

Product Advantages and Features
High Current Output: Specifically designed to support fully loaded 10-slot or 12-slot racks without voltage drops.
Marine-Grade Durability: Frequently found in maritime applications due to its high resistance to humidity and vibration.
JRMSP-P8101
Integrated Protection: Features robust over-voltage and over-current protection to shield sensitive CPU modules (like the U84-124) from power spikes.
Diagnostic Indicators: Includes “Power” and “Error” LEDs to help maintenance personnel verify incoming AC and internal DC health at a glance.
Stable Field Power: Often provides a dedicated output for field-side sensors, ensuring a clean 24V source.
Application Cases
Shipboard Automation: Powering control systems for engine room monitoring, ballast control, and winch systems.
Steel & Iron Works: Managing the logic for high-heat production lines where power stability is critical to safety.
Legacy Factory Racks: Serving as the central power hub for Yaskawa U84 series controllers in automotive and textile plants.
Large-Scale Conveyor Systems: Providing the power for complex distributed I/O networks in older distribution centers.
Other Models in the Same Series
The JRMSP series includes various power supplies tailored for different input voltages and rack sizes:
| Model | Function / Description |
| JRMSP-P8100 | Standard Power Supply (lower capacity/earlier revision). |
| JRMSP-P8102 | 200V AC Input version of the P8101. |
| JAMSC-P1010 | Compact Power Supply for smaller 1000-series racks. |
| JRMSI-B1030 | 5-Slot Mounting Base (Commonly powered by the P8101). |
| DDSCR-U84-124 | The CPU board often paired with this power supply. |
Troubleshooting a System Failure?
If your Memocon-SC rack is completely dead or the CPU is showing a “Watchdog” or “Bus Error,” the JRMSP-P8101 is the first part to check.
These legacy units often require “recapping” (replacing old electrolytic capacitors) to restore full power stability.
