2.2 Restrictions on the GM1 Controller and Servo Amplifiers

2.2.1 Restrictions on the Combination of the GM1 Controller and Servo
Amplifiers
As for the combination of the GM1 Controller and each MINAS series, confirm the following
restrictions.
Combination of the GM1 Controller and servo amplifiers
Connectable servo amplifier
A5N
●
● When using servo amplifiers in combination with the GM1 Controller, use the ones with the
latest software version
■
Setting ranges of movement amount and speed
The input range of the movement amount or speed specified in the GM1 Controller may differ
from the upper and lower setting limits of the servo amplifier.
● The communication cycle and command update cycle supported by the GM1 Controller and
servo amplifiers A5N and A6N are as follows.
• GM1 Controller: Communication cycle: 500 μs to 2 ms, Command update cycle: 500 μs to 4
ms
• Servo amplifier A5N: Communication cycle: 500 μs to 1 ms, Command update cycle: 500 μs
to 1 ms
• Servo amplifier A6N: Communication cycle: 500 μs to 2 ms, Command update cycle: 500 μs
to 4 ms
