1 Introduction
1.1 Summary
MR-ENCOM is a converter from Endat2.2/Hiperface DSL to Mitsubishi Electric serial encoder communication, which is compatible to both Endat2.2 and Hiperface DSL, by changing an external wiring.
Although Mitsubishi Electric MELSERVO-J4 series have compatible rotary/linear servo motors also
made by Mitsubishi Electric, by using MR-ENCOM, other suppliers’ rotary/linear servo motors can be
driven by MELSERVO-J4.
Mitsubishi Electric MELSERVO-J4 series that has industry leading function and performance such as
response, tuning, filters, and maintenance can drive any other manufacturers servo motors with Endat 2.2 or Hiperface DSL (*).
* Please contact Mitsubishi Electric Europe to check if servo motor and encoder are supported..
1.2 Function block diagram
The below diagram shows the MR-ENCOM in combination with a servo amplifier and servo motor. For
more details about amplifiers and motors please refer to the MR-J4 users manual.

2.2 Recommended encoder
2.2.1 Hiperface DSL
● Only 2 wire connection (DSL+/-) type is possible to communicate to MR-ENCOM.
● Both single turn and multi turn encoders are compatible.
● Safety function is not compatible.
2.2.2 Endat 2.2
● Endat2.2 or Endat2.1
● 6 MHz clock frequency should be compatible.
● Incremental signal 1 Vpp of the Endat communication is not possible to connect to MR-ENCOM.
Use encoder without incremental signal.
● Both single turn and multi turn encoders are compatible.
● Safety function is not compatible.
● 10 V DC power supply is compatible. In case of an encoder which has only 5 V DC, use "+5 V OUT"
for the power supply instead of "+10 V OUT".

2.4 Installation
2.4.1 Installation direction and clearances
NOTE Keep 10 mm distance from other components and cabinet.
Fig. 2-2: Installation of the MR-ENCOM
2.4.2 Keep out foreign materials
● When drilling in the cabinet, prevent drill chips and wire fragments from entering the servo
amplifier.
● Prevent oil, water, metallic dust, etc. from entering the servo amplifier through openings in the
cabinet or a cooling fan installed on the ceiling.
● When installing the cabinet in a place where toxic gas, dirt and dust exist, conduct an air purge
(force clean air into the cabinet from outside to make the internal pressure higher than the
external pressure) to prevent such materials from entering the cabinet.
2.4.3 Cable stress
● The way of clamping the cable must be fully examined so that bending stress and cable's own
weight stress are not applied to the cable connection.
● For use in any application where the servo motor moves, fix the cables (encoder, power supply, and
brake) with having some slack from the connector connection part of the servo motor to avoid
putting stress on the connector connection part. Use the optional encoder cable within the bending
life range. Use the power supply and brake wiring cables within the bending life of the cables.
● Avoid any probability that the cable sheath might be cut by sharp chips, rubbed by a machine
corner or stamped by workers or vehicles.
● For installation on a machine where the servo motor moves, the bending radius should be made
as large as possible. Refer to section 10.4 for the bending life.

Start-up Operation
3Operation
3.1 Start-up
● Amplifier parameter setting
– Open the software tool provided by Mitsubishi Electric
– Type in the particular motor constant in the software tool. The motor constant should be provided
by the motor manufacturer.
– Download the parameters to the servo amplifier from the tool. Don’t forget to make a power reset
of the amplifier to make the setting valid.
● Connect all cables
– Power ON and check if everything is all right.
– Check if either the Yellow (Hiperface) or the Green (Endat) LED is ON, corresponding to the encoder
communication.
– Move the motor by hand or JOG, to check if the encoder data is correct.
3.2 Troubleshooting
● When red LED 1 (CPU error) is on
–MR-ENCOM malfunction
● When red LED 2 (Communication error) is on
–Encoder malfunction
–MR-ENCOM malfunction
– Amplifier malfunction
– Cable malfunction
● When Hiperface/Endat LED is NOT on, even user connect the encoder
–Encoder malfunction
–MR-ENCOM malfunction
– Cable malfunction
● When servo amplifier alarm is there
– The corresponding alarm or warning is displayed on the amplifer
– Refer to "MELSERVO-J4 Servo Amplifier Instruction Manual (Troubleshooting)" for details of
alarms and warnings
– Start MR Configurator2 and connect to the ampifier via USB to get detailed alarm information
● When communication is OK, but servo motor doesn’t run smoothly
– Servo amplifier parameter setting (motor constant, gain)may be wrong
