1.1 Features
The MP2300 is an all-in-one, compact Machine Controller that combines power supply, CPU, SVB, I/O, and
communication functions in one system. The MP2300 consists of a Basic Module that performs motion
control and sequence control and Optional Modules that perform I/O and communication functions.
The MP2300 has the following features:
• Flexibility
• High performance, and
• Easy to use
Flexibility
Optional Modules can be inserted into any of the three slots, so the optimum system can be built for your
machine.
High Performance
• High control characteristics have been realized by increasing the CPU and Motion Network (MECHA-
TROLINK-II) speed.
• MECHATROLINK-II baud rate: 2.5 times faster
• CPU processing speed: 1.4 times faster than MP930
• MECHATROLINK-II enables position control, speed control, and torque control and makes precise synchronous
control possible. The control mode can also be changed while online, facilitating complicated machine opera-
tions.
• Select the appropriate Communication Module to use the following open networks.
•Ethernet
• DeviceNet
• PROFIBUS
•MPLINK
• CP-215
•FL-net
• EtherNet/IP
•EtherCAT
• CompoNet
•PROFINET
•CC-Link
Easy to Use
• The time of machine development can be greatly reduced by using the self-configuration function that automati-
cally detects devices connected to MECHATROLINK and automatically sets the required parameters.
• The application program converter can utilize your previous software assets with their accumulated databanks of
specific knowledge to improve the system further.
