YASKAWA JANCD-MIF01 Machine Interface Board / I/O Interface
YASKAWA JANCD-MIF01 Introduction
The YASKAWA JANCD-MIF01 is a specialized interface board (Machine Interface Card) primarily designed for use with Yaskawa Motoman robot controllers (such as the NX100. DX100. or DX200 series) and specialized CNC systems.
Its core function is to facilitate communication between the main CPU of the controller and peripheral devices or the machine tool itself.
It acts as a bridge, ensuring high-speed data exchange and synchronized motion control, making it a critical component for automated industrial cells.
