There is a risk of electrical shock.
• Always keep the front cover attached when power is being supplied.
There is a risk of electrical shock.
• Observe all procedures and precautions given in this manual for trial operation.
Operating mistakes while the servomotor and machine are connected can cause damage to the machine or even
accidents resulting in injury or death.
• Do not remove the module, front cover, cables, connector while power is being supplied.
There is a risk of electrical shock.
• Do not damage, pull on, apply excessive force to, place heavy objects on, or pinch cables.
There is a risk of electrical shock, operational failure or burning of the MP2000 series.
• Do not attempt to modify the MP2000 series in any way.
There is a risk of injury or device damage.
• Do not approach the machine when there is a momentary interruption to the power supply. When
power is restored, the machine controller and the connecting devices may start operation suddenly.
Provide suitable safety measures to protect people when operation restarts.
There is a risk of injury.
• Do not allow installation, disassembly, or repairs to be performed by anyone other than specified
personnel.

■Storage and Transportation (cont’d)
■Installation
■Wiring
• If disinfectants or insecticides must be used to treat packing materials such as wooden frames,
pallets, or plywood, the packing materials must be treated before the product is packaged, and
methods other than fumigation must be used.
Example: Heat treatment, where materials are kiln-dried to a core temperature of 56°C for 30
minutes or more.
If the electronic products, which include stand-alone products and products installed in machines, are packed
with fumigated wooden materials, the electrical components may be greatly damaged by the gases or fumes
resulting from the fumigation process. In particular, disinfectants containing halogen, which includes chlorine,
fluorine, bromine, or iodine can contribute to the erosion of the capacitors.
• Never use the MP2000 series in locations subject to water, corrosive atmospheres, or flammable
gas, or near burnable objects.
There is a risk of electrical shock or fire.
• Do not step on the MP2000 series or place heavy objects on the MP2000 series.
There is a risk of injury.
• Do not allow foreign objects to enter the MP2000 series.
There is a risk of element deterioration inside, an accident, or fire.
• Always mount the MP2000 series in the specified orientation.
There is a risk of an accident.
• Do not subject the MP2000 series to strong shock.
There is a risk of an accident.
• Check the wiring to be sure it has been performed correctly.
There is a risk of motor run-away, injury, or an accident.
• Always use a power supply of the specified voltage.
There is a risk of burning.
• In places with poor power supply conditions, take all steps necessary to ensure that the input power
supply is within the specified voltage range.
There is a risk of device damage.
• Install breakers and other safety measure to provide protection against shorts in external wiring.
There is a risk of fire.
• Provide sufficient shielding when using the MP2000 series in the following locations.
There is a risk of device damage.
• Noise, such as from static electricity
• Strong electromagnetic or magnetic fields
• Radiation
• Near to power lines

■Selecting, Separating, and Laying External Cables
■Maintenance and Inspection Precautions
■Disposal Precautions
■General Precautions
• Consider the following items when selecting the I/O signal lines (external cables) to connect the
MP2000 series to external devices.
• Mechanical strength
• Noise interference
• Wiring distance
• Signal voltage, etc.
• Separate the I/O signal lines from the power lines both inside and outside the control box to reduce
the influence of noise from the power lines.
If the I/O signal lines and power lines are not separated properly, malfunctioning may result.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the MP2000 series.
There is a risk of electrical shock or injury.
• Do not change wiring while power is being supplied.
There is a risk of electrical shock or injury.
• Dispose of the MP2000 series as general industrial waste.
Observe the following general precautions
to ensure safe application.
• The products shown in illustrations in this manual are sometimes shown without covers or protective guards. Always
replace the cover or protective guard as specified first, and then operate the products in accordance with the manual.
• The drawings presented in this manual are typical examples and may not match the product you received.
• If the manual must be ordered due to loss or damage, inform your nearest Yaskawa representative or one of the
offices listed on the back of this manual.

panel or rack, and place it where there is sufficient space, such as working table.
b) For MP2200 and MP2100M
Turn OFF the power supply and disconnect all the cables from the expansion rack (MP2200 base unit) where the
Option Module to be replaced is mounted. Then, remove the expansion rack and place it on a place with suffi-
cient space, such as working table.
( 2 ) Removing Optional Cover
Use the following procedure if the optional cover is installed on the slot.
1. Remove the battery cover.
Pull the notch on the side of the MP2000 series towards you to remove the battery cover.
2. Remove the cover of Optional Module.
Insert the protruding part of the battery cover into the slot on top of the cover of Optional Module to unhook, as
shown in the diagram. Face the front of the battery cover towards you for this operation.
Unhook the bottom in the same way.

( 3 ) Installing Optional Modules
1. Insert Optional Modules.
Guide rails are visible at the top and bottom of the Option Slot, as shown in the following diagram. Line up the
Module with the guide rail and insert the Module straight.
The FG bar on the inside bottom of the Unit Case may be damaged if the Module is inserted without following
the guide rail.
2. Mount on to the mounting base.
Once the Optional Module has been completely inserted, place your hand on the front face of the Optional
Module and push hard until the Optional Module has been inserted into the mounting base connectors. The front
face of the Optional Module and the hook will be aligned when the Optional Module has been installed properly.
3. Install the panel of the Optional Module.
Place the hole on the bottom of the panel of the Optional Module onto the hook on the bottom of the MP2300.
This completes the installation procedure.
