XCS2-F + MSM (Panasonic)

Hello!

It is not clear if new XCS2-F can work with old MSM panasonic M5 encoder.
In XCS2-F documentation(edition 04) for XG20 connector stands: it works with Panasonic, but there is now exact pointing witch type or motor.

By optional XG21 (EC-multi encoder) connector Panasonic interface is not mentioned:

So, which Panasonic encoders are supported by new XCS2-F???

If XCS2-F + MSM is possible, witch type of cables are needed?

Hello KamRen,

There is an existing motor encoder cable between XCS2-F drives and MSM motors with M5 encoder:

RG2-012AAx-NN-xxx.x. For example, R911424716 RG2-012AAB-NN-002,0 It connects to XG20 connector of the XCS2-F drive.

There are also extension cables available if battery box is used, for example.

Hope above info helps.

Cheers,

ilya
