Background
In this article, we will be exploring the Melservo MR-JE Amplifier and Motor Connection connectors and cables and their uses.

Introduction
The Melservo MR-JE amplifier and motor is a very popular Servo amplifier - as it can be used for any basic application, and is relatively economically priced.

Many cables and connectors are applicable for this set of devices, and we will cover the basic overview of this.

The MR-JE amplifier:
The following is applicable to the MR-JE amplifier:

These are used for different purposes, e.g. MR-JE-A:

As you can see - there are various of connector points.
In short, The connector on;

  • CN3 – is a mini-usb programming cable connector
  • CN1 – is the cable being connected to the PLC for pulse train and encoder feedback connector
  • CNP1- is the motor power cable connector
