Why Engineers Specify This Model
- 4-Axis Simultaneous Control – Reduces cabinet footprint versus discrete motion controllers; one module handles a complete servo system
- 500 kpps High-Speed Pulse Output – Supports high-resolution servo drives without pulse loss at rapid traverse speeds
- Linear & Circular Interpolation – Native interpolation eliminates the need for external motion co-processors in contouring applications
- Seamless FA-M3 Integration – Shares the same backplane, power supply, and programming environment as the host CPU, minimizing integration effort
- Long Product Lifecycle – YOKOGAWA FA-M3 platform has a proven 20+ year support history, reducing obsolescence risk
- Deterministic Scan Cycle – Position data is updated synchronously with the PLC scan, ensuring repeatable motion profiles

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the F3NC04-OZ control servo drives from brands other than YOKOGAWA?
A: Yes. The module outputs a standard pulse train (CW/CCW or pulse+direction), compatible with most servo amplifiers that accept pulse-input commands, including Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Delta, and Omron drives.
Q: Does this module support electronic gearing or cam synchronization?
A: Basic linear and circular interpolation is supported natively. Advanced electronic gearing requires ladder logic implementation using the module’s position data registers. Contact us for application-specific programming guidance.
Q: What programming software is required?
A: YOKOGAWA WideField3 (or WideField2 for legacy projects). The F3NC04-OZ is configured via dedicated function blocks within the FA-M3 programming environment.
Q: Is the F3NC04-OZ compatible with the F3BU04-0N and F3BU13-0N base units?
A: Yes, it is compatible with all standard FA-M3 base units. Verify slot power budget (5 VDC, 1.5 A) when planning your rack configuration.
Q: Can I get a warranty on this module?
A: Konmask.com provides a 90-day functional warranty on all tested units. Extended warranty options are available — contact us for details.
