The MN-2091U CR adds one axis of motion control to a Motionnet distributed motion network. Each module is a serial slave connected to the controller with standard Cat.5 LAN cable, and a single line can carry up to 64 single-axis modules, so axis count can grow as the machine does.The 26-pin HD D-Sub connector links the module to servo and stepper drivers. Servo interface outputs include SVON, ERC and ALM_RST, while ALM, RDY and INP are read as inputs. Each axis also has limit, home, slow-down and emergency inputs. Motion profiles include trapezoidal and S-curve acceleration and deceleration, multi-axis linear and 2-axis circular interpolation, and on-the-fly speed and position changes.Three-way isolation separates power, communication and I/O, which the manufacturer states improves noise immunity and protects the device. The module runs from a 24 VDC ±5% supply with a 1000 V isolated input and is rated for 0 to +60 °C operation.ApplicationsDistributed multi-axis motion control on a Motionnet fieldbusMachine automation with servo driversPositioning axes driven by stepper driversHighly integrated machine automation with reduced driver wiring

The MN-2091U-T adds one motion axis to a distributed Motionnet network.

The MN-3253 CR adds 32 isolated digital input channels to a Motionnet network, letting you extend remote input capacity without running separate cabling for each signal. Each input port can be configured as NPN or PNP for 12 to 24 V sensors, which simplifies matching the module to the field devices you already use.Cyclic time is 15.1 μs per device at 20 Mbps, and a full line of 64 modules covers 2048 input points within 0.97 ms. Transfer speed is chosen from 2.5, 5, 10 or 20 Mbps using a DIP switch. Input status is updated automatically through the Motionnet system at a constant interval, and you can set interrupts on selected inputs so the controller does not have to poll them repeatedly.The module provides 3000 Vrms input isolation and separates power, communication and I/O for improved protection. Status LEDs show communication state, I/O state and internal 3.3 V power, and a termination resistor switch is provided.

Input points can be configured for interrupts, so the controller does not need to poll inputs that are not changing. Each input port can be set to NPN or PNP operation over 12 to 24 V, and the output flywheel diodes can be connected to different supply sources port by port.The CR variant is the RJ-45 connector version listed in the ordering information. Isolation of 3000 Vrms on both the digital inputs and outputs, along with a 1000 V isolated 24 VDC power input, helps separate field wiring from the communication network and the logic supply.ApplicationsMachine automation
