MP940 Machine Controller - YAI
Single-axis; 115, 240, 480 Volts
The MP940 Machine Controller is a legacy product and no longer promoted in the Americas. (The retrofit/upgrade to the MP940 is the MP2000iec product family, specifically the MP2600iec is a machine controller module fully integrated in to Yaskawa's latest Sigma-5 Series Amplifier. The MP940 Machine Controller series was a single-axis controller and a member of Yaskawa's MotionSuite family of electronic machine controllers. The modular packaging of the MP940 provides integral mounting with Sigma II drives from 30 watt to 55kW, with voltages of 115, 240 and 480 volts.
