YD-1

Installation & Compatibility：

1.Easy Installation: No modification of NC parameters or machine tool PLC programs required, saving time and reducing skill requirements.
  
2.Broad Compatibility: Compatible with major CNC systems (e.g., Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Brother, Siemens). The same axis card supports multiple systems, allowing for flexible use across different machine tools in your workshop.

3.Flexible Connection: One axis card supports flexible connection with multiple CNC systems, simplifying machine relocation and reducing cost.

Communication & Control
1.Ethernet Communication: Utilizes an Ethernet-based communication protocol with the CNC for high-speed, safe, stable, and reliable real-time axis positioning.

2.4th/5th Axis Control: Supports control of additional rotary axes without enabling the CNC's native additional axis functions.

Operation & Usability
1.Manual Handwheel Operation: Allows direct operation via the machine's handwheel, maintaining original operation habits for easy setup and adjustment.

2.Integrated Machine Panel Control: Fully controlled via the standard CNC machine panel, offering the same operation experience as the original XYZ axes. Simple and convenient for installation and debugging.

Core Functions
1.Standard Feed Axis Functions: Includes backlash compensation, pitch error compensation, axis travel limits, brake current limitation, and bidirectional alarm monitoring.

2.Alarm & Fault Display: Axis rotation stops upon an alarm, with fault codes displayed directly on the CNC system interface (no external display required).

3.Speed/Position Mode Switching: Free switching between speed and position modes.

4.Automatic Brake Setting: No PLC program modification needed.

Additional Features

1.Smart Credit System: Supports a one-code-per-product license with usage time counted in hours.

2.Comprehensive Drive & Motor Support: Offers a wide range of driver and motor power specifications.

3.Encoder Protocol Support: Supports protocols such as Biss-C and Tamagawa.
