Empirical Engineering Insights

Alternative Models & Compatibility

The MR-J2S-100A is the direct, enhanced successor to the legacy MR-J2-100A amplifier. When migrating from the older J2 series, parameters must be converted using the MR Configurator software (Setup121E or newer). Note that physical mounting dimensions are identical, but the J2S features improved encoder processing algorithms, meaning older J2 motors may require parameter adjustments to prevent initialization errors.

Application Pitfalls & Engineering Notes

In high-inertia or rapid deceleration applications, the internal regenerative resistor can overheat, triggering an AL.30 (Regenerative Error). If this occurs, install an external regenerative resistor (such as the MR-RB32) across terminals P and C, and ensure the factory-installed short-circuit bar between P and D is completely removed. Failure to remove this bar when using an external resistor will damage the internal drive circuitry.

Commissioning & Wiring Tips

During initial bench testing or commissioning without a host controller, the drive will display a persistent AL.E6 (Emergency Stop) fault. To bypass this for testing, wire a physical jumper between terminal EMG (CN1A, pin 15) and SG (CN1A, pin 10). Always ensure that the encoder cable connected to CN2 uses double-shielded twisted-pair cabling with the shield terminated directly to the connector shell to mitigate high-frequency EMI.

Installation Guidelines

CRITICAL WARNING: Ensure all AC input power (L1, L2, L3 and L11, L21) is completely disconnected and verify that the charge LED on the front panel is fully extinguished before touching any terminals. Residual DC bus voltage can exceed 300 VDC and remains present for several minutes after power-off.
1

Mount the amplifier vertically on a flat, unpainted metal panel to ensure optimal heat dissipation and solid chassis grounding.

2

Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 mm on both sides and 40 mm above and below the unit for adequate airflow from the integrated cooling fan.

3

Connect the control circuit power supply to L11 and L21 before or simultaneously with the main circuit power (L1, L2, L3) to prevent synchronization faults.

4

Route motor power cables (U, V, W) and encoder feedback cables through separate conduits with at least 30 cm separation to prevent noise coupling.

FAQ

What does the AL.30 fault code indicate on the MR-J2S-100A?

AL.30 indicates a Regenerative Error. This occurs when the regenerative energy returned to the drive exceeds the capacity of the built-in regenerative resistor. To resolve this, install an external regenerative option (like the MR-RB32) and remove the short-circuit bar between terminals P and D.

Can I run the MR-J2S-100A on single-phase 230V power?

The MR-J2S-100A is officially rated for 3-phase 200-230 VAC input. Running a 1.0 kW drive on single-phase power is not recommended by the manufacturer as it can cause excessive DC bus ripple, leading to undervoltage faults (AL.10) under load.

How do I clear the AL.E6 fault code during commissioning?

AL.E6 is an Emergency Stop warning. It is active when the EMG terminal is open. To clear this fault during testing, wire a jumper between the EMG terminal (CN1A pin 15) and the SG terminal (CN1A pin 10).

What software is used to configure parameters on this drive?

The MR-J2S-100A is configured using Mitsubishi's MR Configurator software (specifically Setup121E or newer) connected via an RS-232C or RS-422 serial cable to the CN3 port.
