MP3300iec (Yaskawa)
Also known as: Yaskawa MP3300iec
German: MP3300iec
The MP3300iec is a Yaskawa machine and motion controller programmed according to IEC 61131-3, used to coordinate servo axes, I/O and machine logic, typically with the vendor's MotionWorks IEC engineering software.
- Integrated systems
In one sentence
The MP3300iec is a Yaskawa machine and motion controller programmed with IEC 61131-3 languages for coordinated servo and machine control.
Example
A packaging machine uses an MP3300iec to synchronize the film feed, sealing jaws and product conveyor servo axes.
How it applies
- Engineering: The controller combines PLC logic and motion control; programs use IEC 61131-3 languages and PLCopen motion function blocks.
- Safety: A standard motion controller is not a safety controller; safety functions need safety-rated components such as a Safety PLC or drive-integrated functions per IEC 61800-5-2.
- Documentation: Machine manuals should name the controller, its firmware and project version where relevant for service; the documentation team should link to the vendor manual rather than copy vendor text.
- Service: Keep the controller project, firmware version and engineering tool version together in the as-built documentation.
Keep in mind: Product names, variants and features change. Check them against the vendor's current documentation before citing them in specifications or manuals.
