About MFDLNB3NE - A6N Panasonic A6 5000W Driver
The Panasonic MFDLNB3NE (A6N series) is a 5000W (5.0 kW) "F-Frame" AC servo driver designed for high-speed, multi-axis synchronization using the RTEX (Realtime Express) network protocol.
Function
- Synchronised Network Hub: Its primary role is to act as a node in an RTEX network (100 Mbps). It allows for ultra-fast cycle times (down to 0.0625 ms), making it perfect for complex machines where many 5.0 kW axes must move in perfect unison.
- Safety Integration (STO): Unlike the basic SE/SG models, the NE series includes a built-in Safety Torque Off (STO) function. This allows the driver to safely cut power to the motor at a hardware level during emergencies while maintaining communication with the PLC.
- Full-Feature Control: Supports Position, Velocity, and Torque control modes, providing the versatility needed for high-end CNC, robotics, and industrial printing.
- Active Vibration Suppression: Uses a 3.2 kHz response frequency and digital notch filters to cancel out the mechanical "shaking" and humming typical when moving massive 5.0 kW loads. [1, 2]
