Product Description
The A172SHCPUN is a Mitsubishi A Series motion controller CPU designed for precise multi‑axis control in demanding industrial applications. It supports up to eight control axes and offers comprehensive external inputs including FLS, RLS, STOP, and DOG/CHANGE signals to accommodate typical machine safety and homing requirements. The unit operates at 5 VDC with 1.63 A current consumption and achieves a computing frequency of 3.5 ms for 1 to 8 axes, enabling responsive trajectory execution. It provides 1024 real I/O points, 192 KB of built‑in RAM, and up to 30K steps for the main sequence program, with 8192 file registers for data handling. Control is executed via stored program repeated operation, and I/O control can be selected between refresh and direct methods. A watchdog timer range of 10 to 2000 ms supports robust fault detection. The compact module measures 130 x 113.3 x 93.6 mm and weighs approximately 0.85 kg, facilitating panel integration where space is limited. Typical operating conditions include 0 to 55 °C and 10–90% RH non‑condensing, with natural cooling and compliance to JIS standards for vibration and shock.
