Analog master module MLK-FZ

digitalEthernetIO-Link

The MLK-FZ Master Link manages the data exchange between the PC-based central unit of the Z32 FlorenZ Series CNC and the peripherals (drives and I/O). Its connections are: RTE (Real Time Ethernet): connection to the central unit of the CNC Z-Link: optical fiber bus for I/O, analog references, encoder inputs (2mS sampling time) Z-Star2: optical fiber bus for SPevo digital drives (sampling time 250μS) It supports PE3 I/O flanked modules (see I/O Modules section). It directly supports up to 8 SPevo digital drives, connected via the Z-Star2 CH1 channel. The additional Z-Star2 channel on the EXP-FZ1 expansion board manages another 8 SPevo digital drives, for a total of 16 SPevo digital drives. The presence of the EXP-FZ1 expansion board does not allow PE3 flanked modules. The three Z-Star2 additional channels on the expansion board manage an additional 8 SPevo digital drives per channel.
