The Yokogawa F3YP24-0P is a multi-channel positioning module (with pulse output) for the FA-M3 series “range-free multi-controller”. It generates pulse trains (position reference pulses) as commanded by a CPU module, allowing open-loop control of multiple axes (typically servo or stepper motors). It supports various control modes, and includes features for fast startup, external triggering, pulse counting, etc.
Technical Specifications
Spec Value
Model F3YP24-0P (Positioning Module, multi-channel pulse output)
System Yokogawa FA-M3 Range-Free Multi-Controller
Controlled Axes 4 axes
Control Method Open-loop control with position reference pulse output
Pulse Output Driver RS-422A differential line driver equivalent (ISL32172E or similar)

Startup Time Minimum ~40 µs for direct start; with trigger start even ~1 µs (when conditions appropriate)
External Inputs per Axis Origin input, forward limit, reverse limit, Z-phase (encoder index) input; with configurable digital filters; some inputs can be assigned as general inputs
External Outputs per Axis / Module Deviation pulse clear signal per axis; other contact outputs; ground/common contacts as required
External Power for Pulse Outputs 24 V DC external power supply for pulse output is used in F3YP22-0P / F3YP24-0P / F3YP28-0P models; pulse output ground common; external 24 V (with GND) supply line.
Dimensions / Mechanical Module width/index/height consistent with FA-M3 I/O module mechanical layout; connectors per FA-M3 standard; uses the 24 V external supply for outputs; (exact width/depth details depend on mounting & connectors)
Operating Environment Ambient temperature: 0 to 55 °C
Humidity: 10-90% RH non-condensing
Must be free of corrosive gases / heavy dust
Scalability Multiple modules can be used to scale axes; e.g. up to 8 axes per module (in F3YP28-0P), up to 128 axes total with many modules
