14 YASKAWA America, Inc. MP3300iec Hardware Manual YAI-SIA-IEC-7
Control Panel Cooling Method
The components that are used in the Machine Controller require the ambient operating temperature to be between 0 and
60 °C. Use one of the methods described below to ensure adequate cooling in the control panel.
NOTICE: Equipment Damage. Use forced-air cooling if the ambient temperature exceeds 55°C.
Control Panels with Natural Cooling
• Do not mount the Machine Controller at the top of the control panel, where the hot air that is generated inside the panel
collects.
• Leave sufficient space above and below the Machine Controller, and maintain adequate distances from other devices,
cable ducts, and other objects to ensure suitable air circulation.
• Do not mount the Machine Controller in any direction other than the specified direction.
• Do not mount the Machine Controller on top of any device that generates a significant amount of heat.
• Do not subject the Machine Controller to direct sunlight.
Control Panels with Forced-air Cooling
Install a fan near the center of and at the top or bottom of the Machine Controller for either of the following methods.
• Forced draft method (A fan or a similar device is used to circulate the air in the interior and the exterior of the panel.).
• Forced circulation method (A fan or a similar device is mounted to the airtight panel to circulate the air inside.).
Note: 1. Use the following guideline when selecting the fan:
• 80 x 80 mm min., Maximum air flow: 0.9 m3/min, Maximum static pressure: 26.5 Pa or higher.
2. Adjust the fan installation location and the direction of air flow as shown in Figure 8.

8 Switches
8Switches
The CPU Module has the following two types of switches.
• DIP switches: Mode switches
• STOP/SAVE switch
DIP Switches: Mode Switches
The SW1 and SW2 switches are checked at start-up, and their behavior is described in the following tables:
Table 3 SW1 Switches
Table 4 SW2 Switches
E-INIT and - switches can override the Ethernet configuration according to Table 5.
Table 5 Operation of E-INIT, E-PM0 and E-PM1 for Configuring Ethernet
On start-up, the controller will automatically load firmware or user projects based on the LOAD and MNT switches. The
USB thumb drive is available in any other circumstances.
Table 6 Operation of LOAD and MNT for USB Thumb Drive
SW Description
STOP When ON, prevents PLC from running.
E-INIT When ON, overrides Ethernet configuration according to Table 5.
INIT When ON, the controller uses the fixed, default configuration
CNFG When ON, the controller creates Axes and I/O for all connected devices. (Auto-configuration)
SW Description
LOAD When ON, load either the user project or firmware from the USB thumb drive. See Table 6 for details.
TEST When ON, the IP address is scrolled across the seven segment display.
MNT When ON, controller starts up in supervisor mode. In this mode MECHATROLINK III, PLC, Modbus/TCP and Ethernet/IP
do not start. The controller firmware can be updated, and clearing DOS FS alarms will repair the DOS FS.

segment display outputs “donE”.
• Startup: If the controller cannot boot because of a bad firmware image check sum, the seven segment display outputs
“bOOt ERROR”
• IPAddress: If the TEST switch is ON, then the seven segment display outputs the IP address.
• Firmware update: During programming the seven segment display outputs “FLASH...”. When finished, the seven
segment display outputs “donE”.
Status Indicators
These indicators show the status of the CPU Module.
Table 7 Status LED

10 Self-Configuration
YASKAWA America, Inc. MP3300iec Hardware Manual YAI-SIA-IEC-7 19
10 Self-Configuration
DIP Switch
Self-Configuration after Adding Devices such as Servopacks
The controller can automatically configure all the Mechatrolink devices. First, connect and power up all the Mechatrolink
nodes (making sure they all have unique station numbers). Then, set the CNFG switch to the ON position and power up
the controller. Wait for the RDY LED to come on and the controller will now have the new auto configuration.
Note: Controllers with an existing saved configuration cannot be auto configured until the currect configuration is deleted.
MotionWorks IEC
The MotionWorks IEC (Express or Pro) configuration can detect the configuration and provide the user with
configuration choices. If a StartUp Configuration was already saved on the controller, the self-configure function will not
allow new devices to be discovered. In this case, add them offline manually first.
