* 1. The baud rate is 4 Mbps for MECHATROLINK-I, and 10 Mbps for

MECHATROLINK-II.

* 2. For MECHATROLINK-I, a cycle is 2 ms. For MECHATROLINK-II, a

cycle is 1 ms to 8 ms for a 32-byte data transmission, and 500

µs to 8

ms for a 17-byte data transmission.

* 3. For MECHATROLINK-I, only a 17-byte data transmission can be

selected.

* 4. The maximum number of connectable stations changes depending on

the types and settings of the host controller, baud rate, or communica-
tions cycle. For details, refer to the manuals of your controller.
Communications cycle: Integral multiple of transmission cycles
(depending on the host controller settings).
Example: If the host controller is an MP2300

• For MECHATROLINK-II (32-byte transmission,

2-ms communications cycle): 21 stations max. (21 slaves can be
set, but then the maximum number of connectable Inverters will
be 16.)

• For MECHATROLINK-II (32-byte transmission,

1-ms communications cycle): 9 stations max.

• For MECHATROLINK-II (17-byte transmission,

1-ms communications cycle): 15 stations max.

• For MECHATROLINK-I: 14 stations max.

* 5. At the maximum transmission distance of 50 m, the maximum number
