3.1 Module Configurations
3.1.1 MP900-series Module Configurations
The configuration of MP900-series Machine Controllers vary with the application and
include All-in-one Machine Controllers, in which all functions are housed in a single case,
Interface Board Controllers mount in a personal computer, Building-block Machine Control-
lers in which the required basic Modules are mounted to Mounting Bases, and Machine
Controllers integrated with a SERVOPACK.
For Building-block Machine Controllers, Expansion Interface Modules of system bus can be
used to connect up to 4 Mounting Bases (Racks). When multiple building blocks are con-
nected in a single system, the racks are identified by their rack numbers, rack 1 to rack n (n
≤
4) in the Module configuration definitions.
The operation to define Module configurations differs for each Machine Controller. They are
explained here in the following order.
