Improved servo amplifiers now support EtherNet/IP networks

Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. has added multi-network support to Mitsubishi Melservo-J5 (MR-J5) servo amplifiers. This functionality is available through a firmware update, eliminating the need for new hardware.

The product adds EtherNet/IP support to MR-J5, making them compatible with existing controllers. Pre-configured instructions and compatibility with systems such as ControlLogix and CompactLogix help reduce setup time and support easier configuration. The MR-J5 multi-network servo amplifier, originally compatible with EtherCAT, now supports EtherNet/IP through a firmware update, enabling use across both network types.
