About MDDLN45NE - A6N Panasonic A6 1000W Driver

Function (What it does)

The MDDLN45NE (A6N / A6NE type) is an advanced network-based servo drive:

Core Functions

• Controls:
  • Position
  • Speed
  • Torque
• Works via RTEX (Realtime Express network) for ultra-fast communication
• Receives commands from motion controller (not simple PLC pulse)
• Converts AC power precise servo motor movement
• Uses 23-bit absolute encoder feedback for high accuracy

Special Feature (A6N Series)

• RTEX Network Communication
  • Very high-speed: up to 0.0625 ms cycle
  • 100 Mbps full-duplex communication
• Ideal for:
  • Multi-axis synchronized machines
  • CNC / robotics / high-speed automation

Important Notes

• No safety (STO not included)
• Requires RTEX-compatible motion controller (not basic PLC pulse system)

Key Specifications

• Power: 1000W (1 kW)
• Voltage: 200240V AC (1 / 3)
• Frequency Response: 3.2 kHz
• Control Modes:
  • Position (PP / CP)
  • Speed (CV)
  • Torque (CT)
• Communication:
  • RTEX (real-time network)
  • USB (setup/monitoring)
• Encoder: 23-bit absolute encoder
• Built-in Regenerative Resistor: Yes

Dimensions (in inches)

(Official Panasonic data converted from mm)

• Height: 150 mm 5.9 inches
• Width: 85 mm 3.35 inches
• Length (Depth): 170 mm 6.7 inches

Weight

• 2.1 kg approx. 4.63 lbs

Quick Summary Table

A6N (NE) vs Other A6 Types

• A6SE Pulse only (basic)
• A6SG Pulse + Modbus
• A6SF Full function + safety
• A6N (NE) High-speed RTEX network (most advanced control)

So:

• A6N = best for high-end synchronized machines
• Not suitable for simple PLC pulse wiring systems

Practical Understanding

• If your machine uses motion controller + network (RTEX) use A6N
• If using PLC pulse output A6N not suitable (use SE/SG/SF instead)
