2.4.9 SSCNET cables, terminal connector and connection method
This section describes how to connect between the Motion CPU module and servo
amplifiers.
Between the Motion CPU module and servo amplifiers is connected by SSCNET
cable. When using the Q172CPU(N), only 1 SSCNET cable for connection to servo
amplifier can be used. (Connect to CN1.) When using the Q173CPU(N), up to 4
SSCNET cables for connection to servo amplifier can be used. (Connect to CN1.)
Up to 8 servo amplifies can be connected to 1 SSCNET cable.
Also, SSCNET cables or terminal connector are different depending on the servo
amplifiers.
