Yaskawa DX100 & YRC1000 Series Technical Notes

The Evolution of DX100 & YRC1000 Architecture

The DX100 controller introduced a Windows CE-based HMI layer over a real-time motion kernel, separating operator interface from servo execution. Its backplane accommodates up to 8 axes natively, expandable via coordinated motion boards. Key architectural elements include the JZNC-series CPU and I/O boards, SRDA-series servo amplifier modules (shared with the Sigma-5 drive family), and a proprietary high-speed serial bus (MECHATROLINK-II/III compatible variants exist). The YRC1000 retained the JANCD-series board nomenclature but migrated to a more compact 19-inch rack format, reduced wiring density via integrated safety I/O, and added EtherNet/IP and PROFINET as standard fieldbus options alongside DeviceNet. Compatibility between DX100 and YRC1000 boards is not interchangeable at the hardware level; however, the SRDA servo amplifier modules (e.g., SRDA-SDA03A01A-E) are shared across both platforms in specific axis configurations. As of 2024, the DX100 has entered the end-of-active-production phase; Yaskawa continues to supply spare parts under its long-term support program, but new robot orders ship exclusively with YRC1000 or YRC1000micro controllers. Facilities running DX100-based cells must plan for lifecycle extension through certified spare parts sourcing.

Quality Control for the DX100 & YRC1000 Range

Each DX100 and YRC1000 module processed by DriveKNMS undergoes a structured test protocol specific to its board function. CPU and motion control boards (JZNC-YRK01-E, JANCD-ACP01-E) are bench-tested in a live controller chassis with axis simulation to verify trajectory execution, memory integrity, and communication bus handshake. Safety boards (JZNC-YSU01-E, JANCD-ASF01-E) are subjected to dual-channel input/output verification, including forced fault injection to confirm correct STO (Safe Torque Off) and SS1 (Safe Stop 1) response. Servo amplifier modules (SRDA-SDA03A01A-E, SRDA-SDA05A01A-E, SRDA-SDA15A01A-E) are load-tested at rated current with encoder feedback simulation to verify current loop stability, regenerative circuit function, and thermal protection thresholds. I/O and fieldbus boards are tested for channel-level signal integrity and bus communication at rated baud rates. All units are inspected for capacitor condition, connector pin integrity, and conformal coating status before dispatch.
