Note 1. The MR-J4THCBL03M branch cable is necessary.
2. The MR-J4FCCBL03M branch cable is necessary.
3. When the communication method of the servo motor encoder is four-wire type,
MR-J4-_B_ cannot be used. Use an MR-J4-_B_-RJ.
4. This is used with servo amplifiers with software version A3 or later.
5. This is used with servo amplifiers with software version A8 or later.
6. Connect a thermistor to CN2.
