1. To prevent electric shock, note the following
WARNING
Before wiring and inspections, turn off the power and wait for 15 minutes or more until the charge lamp
turns off. Then, confirm that the voltage between P+ and N- is safe with a voltage tester and others.
Otherwise, an electric shock may occur. In addition, when confirming whether the charge lamp is off or
not, always confirm it from the front of the servo amplifier.
Ground the servo amplifier and servo motor securely.
Any person who is involved in wiring and inspection should be fully competent to do the work.
Do not attempt to wire the servo amplifier and servo motor until they have been installed. Otherwise, it
may cause an electric shock.
Do not operate switches with wet hands. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.
The cables should not be damaged, stressed, loaded, or pinched. Otherwise, it may cause an electric
shock.
During power-on or operation, do not open the front cover of the servo amplifier. Otherwise, it may cause
an electric shock.
Do not operate the servo amplifier with the front cover removed. High-voltage terminals and charging
area are exposed and you may get an electric shock.
Except for wiring and periodic inspection, do not remove the front cover of the servo amplifier even if the
power is off. The servo amplifier is charged and you may get an electric shock.
To prevent an electric shock, always connect the protective earth (PE) terminal (marked ) of the servo
amplifier to the protective earth (PE) of the cabinet.
To avoid an electric shock, insulate the connections of the power supply terminals.
2. To prevent fire, note the following
CAUTION
Install the servo amplifier, servo motor, and regenerative resistor on incombustible material. Installing
them directly or close to combustibles will lead to smoke or a fire.
Always connect a magnetic contactor between the power supply and the main circuit power supply (L1,
L2, and L3) of the servo amplifier, in order to configure a circuit that shuts down the power supply on the
side of the servo amplifier’s power supply. If a magnetic contactor is not connected, continuous flow of a
large current may cause smoke or a fire when the servo amplifier malfunctions.

1. FUNCTIONS AND CONFIGURATION
1. FUNCTIONS AND CONFIGURATION
1.1 Summary
The Mitsubishi MELSERVO-J4 series general-purpose AC servo has further higher performance and higher
functions compared to the previous MELSERVO-J3 series.
MR-J4-_B_ servo amplifier is connected to controllers, including a servo system controller, on the highspeed synchronous network SSCNET III/H. The servo amplifier directly receives a command from a
controller to drive a servo motor.
MELSERVO-J4 series compatible rotary servo motor is equipped with 22-bit (4194304 pulses/rev) highresolution absolute encoder. In addition, speed frequency response is increased to 2.5 kHz. Thus, faster and
more accurate control is enabled as compared to MELSERVO-J3 series.
MR-J4-_B_ servo amplifier operates MELSERVO-J4 series compatible rotary servo motors, linear servo
motors, and direct drive motors as standard.
With one-touch tuning and real-time auto tuning, you can automatically adjust the servo gains according to
the machine.
The tough drive function and the drive recorder function, which are well-received in the MELSERVO-JN
series, have been improved. The MR-J4 servo amplifier supports the improved functions. Additionally, the
preventive maintenance support function detects an error in the machine parts. This function provides strong
support for the machine maintenance and inspection.
SSCNET III/H achieves high-speed communication of 150 Mbps full duplex with high noise immunity due to
the SSCNET III optical cables. Large amounts of data are exchanged in real-time between the controller and
the servo amplifier. Servo monitor information is stored in the upper information system and is used for
control.
On the SSCNET III/H network, the stations are connected with a maximum distance of 100 m between them.
This allows you to create a large system.
The MR-J4-_B_ servo amplifier supports the Safe Torque Off (STO) function. When the MR-J4W_-B servo
amplifier is connected to a SSCNET III/H-compatible servo system controller, in addition to the STO function,
the servo amplifier also supports the Safe Stop 1 (SS1), Safe Stop 2 (SS2), Safe Operating Stop (SOS),
Safely-Limited Speed (SLS), Safe Brake Control (SBC), and Safe Speed Monitor (SSM) functions.
The MR-J4W_-B servo amplifier has a USB communication interface. Therefore, you can connect the servo
amplifier to the personal computer with MR Configurator2 installed to perform the parameter setting, test
operation, gain adjustment, and others.
In MELSERVO-J4 series, servo amplifiers with CN2L connector is also available as MR-J4-_B_-RJ. By using
CN2L connector, an A/B/Z-phase differential output method external encoder can be connected to the servo
amplifier. In a fully closed loop system, a four-wire type external encoder is connectable as well. The
following table indicates the communication method of the external encoder compatible with MR-J4-_B_ and
MR-J4-_B_-RJ servo amplifiers.

the command and response to the disturbance separately. Additionally, this function
can be disabled. Refer to section 7.5 for disabling this function. This is used with
servo amplifiers with software version B4 or later. Check the software version of the
servo amplifier using MR Configurator2.
High-resolution encoder of 4194304 pulses/rev is used as the encoder of the rotary
servo motor compatible with the MELSERVO-J4 series.
Merely setting a home position once makes home position return unnecessary at
every power-on.
You can switch gains during rotation and during stop, and can use an input device to
switch gains during operation.
This function suppresses vibration at the arm end or residual vibration. Section 7.1.5
This is a filter function (notch filter) which decreases the gain of the specific frequency
to suppress the resonance of the mechanical system.
When a load is mounted to the servo motor shaft, resonance by shaft torsion during
driving may generate a mechanical vibration at high frequency. The shaft resonance
suppression filter suppresses the vibration.
Servo amplifier detects mechanical resonance and sets filter characteristics
automatically to suppress mechanical vibration.
Suppresses high-frequency resonance which occurs as servo system response is
increased.
Analyzes the frequency characteristic of the mechanical system by simply connecting
a MR Configurator2 installed personal computer and servo amplifier.
MR Configurator2 is necessary for this function.
This function provides better disturbance response in case low response level that
load to motor inertia ratio is high for such as roll send axes.
Suppresses vibration of ±1 pulse produced at a servo motor stop. [Pr. PB24]
Automatically adjusts the gain to optimum value if load applied to the servo motor
shaft varies.
Used when the regenerative option cannot provide enough regenerative power.
Can be used for the 5 kW or more servo amplifier.
Used when the regenerative option cannot provide enough regenerative power.
Can be used for the 5 kW or more servo amplifier.
Used when the built-in regenerative resistor of the servo amplifier does not have
sufficient regenerative capability for the regenerative power generated.
The output devices including ALM (Malfunction) and DB (Dynamic brake interlock) can
be assigned to certain pins of the CN3 connector.
Output signal can be forced on/off independently of the servo status.
Use this function for checking output signal wiring, etc.
Jog operation, positioning operation, motor-less operation, DO forced output, and
program operation
MR Configurator2 is necessary for this function.
Using a personal computer, you can perform the parameter setting, test operation,
monitoring, and others.

This is used with servo amplifiers with software version A3 or later. Check the
software version of the servo amplifier using MR Configurator2.
Gain adjustment is performed just by one click on a certain button on MR
Configurator2.
MR Configurator2 is necessary for this function.
Enables to avoid triggering [AL. 10 Undervoltage] using the electrical energy charged
in the capacitor in case that an instantaneous power failure occurs during operation.
Use a 3-phase for the input power supply of the servo amplifier. Using a 1-phase 100
V AC/200 V AC for the input power supply will not comply with SEMI-F47 standard.
This function makes the equipment continue operating even under the condition that
an alarm occurs.
The tough drive function includes two types: the vibration tough drive and the
instantaneous power failure tough drive.
This function continuously monitors the servo status and records the status transition
before and after an alarm for a fixed period of time. You can check the recorded data
on the drive recorder window on MR Configurator2 by clicking the "Graph" button.
However, the drive recorder will not operate on the following conditions.
1. You are using the graph function of MR Configurator2.
2. You are using the machine analyzer function.
3. [Pr. PF21] is set to "-1".
4. The controller is not connected (except the test operation mode).
5. An alarm related to the controller is occurring.
This function is a functional safety that complies with IEC/EN 61800-5-2. You can
create a safety system for the equipment easily.
You can check the cumulative energization time and the number of on/off times of the
inrush relay. This function gives an indication of the replacement time for parts of the
servo amplifier including a capacitor and a relay before they malfunction.
MR Configurator2 is necessary for this function.
This function calculates the power running energy and the regenerative power from
the data in the servo amplifier such as speed and current. For the SSCNET III/H
system, MR Configurator2 can display the data, including the power consumption.
Since the servo amplifier can send the data to a servo system controller, you can
analyze the data and display the data on a display.
From the data in the servo amplifier, this function estimates the friction and vibrational
component of the drive system in the equipment and recognizes an error in the
machine parts, including a ball screw and bearing.
MR Configurator2 is necessary for this function.
The function transmits a master axis torque to slave axes using driver communication
and the torque as a command drives slave axes by torque control.
This is used with servo amplifiers with software version A8 or later. Check the
software version of the servo amplifier using MR Configurator2.
The function transmits position information of a scale measurement encoder to the
controller by connecting the scale measurement encoder in semi closed loop control.
This is used with servo amplifiers with software version A8 or later. Check the
software version of the servo amplifier using MR Configurator2.
This amplifier has "J3 compatibility mode" which compatible with the previous MR-J3-
B series. Refer to section 17.1 for software versions.
This enables to smoothly switch the mode from position control mode/speed control
mode to torque control mode without stopping. This also enables to decrease load to
the machine and high quality molding without rapid changes in speed or torque. For
details of the continuous operation to torque control mode, refer to the manuals for
servo system controllers.
This function improves the response delay occurred when the machine moving
direction is reversed. This is used with servo amplifiers with software version B4 or
later. Check the software version of the servo amplifier using MR Configurator2.
This function sets constant and uniform acceleration/deceleration droop pulses to
almost 0. This is used with servo amplifiers with software version B4 or later. Check
the software version of the servo amplifier using MR Configurator2.

(2) Others
When using heat generating equipment such as the regenerative option, install them with full
consideration of heat generation so that the servo amplifier is not affected.
Install the servo amplifier on a perpendicular wall in the correct vertical direction.
2.2 Keeping out of foreign materials
(1) When drilling in the cabinet, prevent drill chips and wire fragments from entering the servo amplifier.
(2) Prevent oil, water, metallic dust, etc. from entering the servo amplifier through openings in the cabinet or
a cooling fan installed on the ceiling.
2 - 3
2. INSTALLATION
(3) 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.
2.3 Encoder cable stress
(1) 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.
(2) 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.
(3) Avoid any probability that the cable sheath might be cut by sharp chips, rubbed by a machine corner or
stamped by workers or vehicles.
(4) 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.
2.4 SSCNET III cable laying
SSCNET III cable is made from optical fiber. If optical fiber is added a power such as a major shock, lateral
pressure, haul, sudden bending or twist, its inside distorts or breaks, and optical transmission will not be
available. Especially, as optical fiber for MR-J3BUS_M/MR-J3BUS_M-A is made of synthetic resin, it melts
down if being left near the fire or high temperature. Therefore, do not make it touched the part, which can
become hot, such as heat sink or regenerative option of servo amplifier.
Read described item of this section carefully and handle it with caution.
(1) Minimum bend radius
Make sure to lay the cable with greater radius than the minimum bend radius. Do not press the cable to
edges of equipment or others. For SSCNET III cable, the appropriate length should be selected with due
consideration for the dimensions and arrangement of servo amplifier. When closing the door of cabinet,
pay careful attention for avoiding the case that SSCNET III cable is hold down by the door and the cable
bend becomes smaller than the minimum bend radius. For the minimum bend radius, refer to section
11.1.3.
(2) Prohibition of vinyl tape use
Migrating plasticizer is used for vinyl tape. Keep the MR-J3BUS_M, and MR-J3BUS_M-A cables away
from vinyl tape because the optical characteristic may be affected.

r
(3) Precautions for migrating plasticizer added materials
Generally, soft polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene resin (PE) and fluorine resin contain non-migrating
plasticizer and they do not affect the optical characteristic of SSCNET III cable. However, some wire
sheaths and cable ties, which contain migrating plasticizer (phthalate ester), may affect MR-J3BUS_M
and MR-J3BUS_M-A cables (plastic).
In addition, MR-J3BUS_M-B cable (silica glass) is not affected by plasticizer.
A chemical substance may affect its optical characteristic. Therefore, previously check that the cable is
not affected by the environment.
(4) Bundle fixing
Fix the cable at the closest part to the connector with bundle material in order to prevent SSCNET III
cable from putting its own weight on CN1A/CN1B connector of servo amplifier. Optical cord should be
given loose slack to avoid from becoming smaller than the minimum bend radius, and it should not be
twisted.
When bundling the cable, fix and hold it in position by using cushioning such as sponge or rubber which
does not contain migratable plasticizers.
If adhesive tape for bundling the cable is used, fire resistant acetate cloth adhesive tape 570F (Teraoka
Seisakusho Co., Ltd) is recommended.

(5) Tension
If tension is added on optical cable, the increase of transmission loss occurs because of external force
which concentrates on the fixing part of optical fiber or the connecting part of optical connector. Doing so
may cause the breakage of the optical fiber or damage of the optical connector. For cable laying, handle
without putting forced tension. For the tension strength, refer to section 11.1.3.
(6) Lateral pressure
If lateral pressure is added on optical cable, the optical cable itself distorts, internal optical fiber gets
stressed, and then transmission loss will increase. Doing so may cause the breakage of the optical
cable. As the same condition also occurs at cable laying, do not tighten up optical cable with a thing
such as nylon band (TY-RAP).
Do not trample it down or tuck it down with the door of cabinet or others.

2. INSTALLATION
(7) Twisting
If optical fiber is twisted, it will become the same stress added condition as when local lateral pressure or
bend is added. Consequently, transmission loss increases, and the breakage of optical fiber may occur.
(8) Disposal
When incinerating optical cable (cord) used for SSCNET III, hydrogen fluoride gas or hydrogen chloride
gas which is corrosive and harmful may be generated. For disposal of optical fiber, request for
specialized industrial waste disposal services who has incineration facility for disposing hydrogen
fluoride gas or hydrogen chloride gas.
2.5 Inspection items
Before starting maintenance and/or inspection, turn off the power and wait for 15
minutes or more until the charge lamp turns off. Then, confirm that the voltage
between P+ and N- is safe with a voltage tester and others. Otherwise, an electric
WARNING
CAUTION
It is recommended that the following points periodically be checked.
(1) Check for loose terminal block screws. Retighten any loose screws.
(2) Check the cables and the like for scratches or cracks. Inspect them periodically according to operating
conditions especially when the servo motor is movable.
(3) Check that the connector is securely connected to the servo amplifier.
(4) Check that the wires are not coming out from the connector.
(5) Check for dust accumulation on the servo amplifier.
(6) Check for unusual noise generated from the servo amplifier.
shock may occur. In addition, when confirming whether the charge lamp is off or
not, always confirm it from the front of the servo amplifier.
To avoid an electric shock, only qualified personnel should attempt inspections.
For repair and parts replacement, contact your local sales office.
Do not perform insulation resistance test on the servo amplifier. Otherwise, it may
cause a malfunction.
Do not disassemble and/or repair the equipment on customer side.

2.6 Parts having service lives
Service lives of the following parts are listed below. However, the service lives vary depending on operation
and environment. If any fault is found in the parts, they must be replaced immediately regardless of their
service lives. For parts replacement, please contact your local sales office.
(1) Smoothing capacitor
The characteristic of smoothing capacitor is deteriorated due to ripple currents, etc. The life of the
capacitor greatly depends on ambient temperature and operating conditions. The capacitor will reach
the end of its life in 10 years of continuous operation in normal air-conditioned environment (40 ˚C
surrounding air temperature or less).
(2) Relays
Contact faults will occur due to contact wear arisen from switching currents. Relays reach the end of
their lives when the power has been turned on, forced stop by EM1 (Forced stop 1) has occurred, and

depend on the power supply capacity.
(3) Servo amplifier cooling fan
The cooling fan bearings reach the end of their life in 10,000 hours to 30,000 hours. Normally, therefore,
the cooling fan must be replaced in a few years of continuous operation as a guideline. It must also be
changed if unusual noise or vibration is found during inspection.
The life indicates under the yearly average ambient temperature of 40 ˚C, free from corrosive gas,
flammable gas, oil mist, dust and dirt.

3. SIGNALS AND WIRING
Any person who is involved in wiring should be fully competent to do the work.
Before wiring, turn off the power and wait for 15 minutes or more until the charge
lamp turns off. Then, confirm that the voltage between P+ and N- is safe with a
voltage tester and others. Otherwise, an electric shock may occur. In addition,
when confirming whether the charge lamp is off or not, always confirm it from the
front of the servo amplifier.
WARNING
Ground the servo amplifier and servo motor securely.
Do not attempt to wire the servo amplifier and servo motor until they have been
installed. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.
The cables should not be damaged, stressed, loaded, or pinched. Otherwise, it
may cause an electric shock.
To avoid an electric shock, insulate the connections of the power supply
terminals.
Wire the equipment correctly and securely. Otherwise, the servo motor may
operate unexpectedly, resulting in injury.
Connect cables to the correct terminals. Otherwise, a burst, damage, etc. may
occur.
Ensure that polarity (+/-) is correct. Otherwise, a burst, damage, etc. may occur.
The surge absorbing diode installed to the DC relay for control output should be
fitted in the specified direction. Otherwise, the emergency stop and other
protective circuits may not operate.

Do not install a power capacitor, surge killer or radio noise filter (optional FR-BIF(H)) with the power line of the servo motor.
When using the regenerative resistor, switch power off with the alarm signal.
Otherwise, a transistor fault or the like may overheat the regenerative resistor,
causing a fire.

3.1 Input power supply circuit
Always connect a magnetic contactor between the power supply and the main
circuit power supply (L1, L2, and L3) of the servo amplifier, in order to configure a
circuit that shuts down the power supply on the side of the servo amplifier’s power
supply. If a magnetic contactor is not connected, continuous flow of a large
current may cause a fire when the servo amplifier malfunctions.
Use ALM (Malfunction) to switch main circuit power supply off. Not doing so may
cause a fire when a regenerative transistor malfunctions or the like may overheat
the regenerative resistor.
Check the servo amplifier model, and then input proper voltage to the servo
CAUTION
amplifier power supply. If input voltage exceeds the upper limit, the servo amplifier
will break down.
The servo amplifier has a built-in surge absorber (varistor) to reduce noise and to
suppress lightning surge. The varistor can break down due to its aged
deterioration. To prevent a fire, use a molded-case circuit breaker or fuse for input
power supply.
Connecting a servo motor of the wrong axis to U, V, W, or CN2 of the servo
amplifier may cause a malfunction.
The N- terminal is not a neutral point of the power supply. Incorrect wiring will
cause a burst, damage, etc.
POINT
Even if alarm has occurred, do not switch off the control circuit power supply.
When the control circuit power supply has been switched off, optical module
does not operate, and optical transmission of SSCNET III/H communication is
interrupted. Therefore, the next axis servo amplifier displays "AA" at the
indicator and turns into base circuit shut-off. The servo motor stops with starting
dynamic brake.
EM2 has the same function as EM1 in the torque control mode.
Connect the 1-phase 200 V AC to 240 V AC power supply to L1 and L3. One of
the connecting destinations is different from MR-J3 Series Servo Amplifier's.
When using MR-J4 as a replacement for MR-J3, be careful not to connect the
power to L2.
Configure the wiring so that the main circuit power supply is shut off and the servo-on command turned off
after deceleration to a stop due to an alarm occurring, an enabled servo forced stop, or an enabled controller
forced stop. A molded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) must be used with the input cables of the main circuit
power supply.

Note 1. Between P3 and P4 is connected by default. When using the power factor improving DC reactor, remove the short bar
between P3 and P4. Refer to section 11.11 for details. Additionally, a power factor improving DC reactor and power factor
improving AC reactor cannot be used simultaneously.
2. When using the regenerative option, refer to section 11.2.
3. For the encoder cable, use of the option cable is recommended. For selecting cables, refer to "Servo Motor Instruction Manual
(Vol. 3)".
4. If disabling ALM (Malfunction) output with the parameter, configure up the power supply circuit which switches off the magnetic
contactor after detection of alarm occurrence on the controller side.
5. This diagram is for sink I/O interface. For source I/O interface, refer to section 3.8.3 in MR-J4-_B(-RJ) Servo Amplifier
Instruction Manual.
6. For connecting servo motor power wires, refer to "Servo Motor Instruction Manual (Vol. 3)".
7. Use a magnetic contactor with an operation delay time (interval between current being applied to the coil until closure of
contacts) of 80 ms or less. Depending on the main circuit voltage and operation pattern, bus voltage decreases, and that may
cause the forced stop deceleration to shift to the dynamic brake deceleration. When dynamic brake deceleration is not
required, slow the time to turn off the magnetic contactor.
8. Configure a circuit to turn off EM2 when the main circuit power is turned off to prevent an unexpected restart of the servo
amplifier.
9. When not using the STO function, attach the short-circuit connector came with a servo amplifier.
10. When wires used for L11 and L21 are thinner than wires used for L1, L2, and L3, use a molded-case circuit breaker. (Refer to
section 11.10.)
11. Connecting a servo motor for different axis to U, V, W, or CN2 of the servo amplifier may cause a malfunction.
12. Stepdown transformer is required for coil voltage of magnetic contactor more than 200 V class servo amplifiers.
13. For the servo motor with a cooling fan.
14. For the cooling fan power supply, refer to "Servo Motor Instruction Manual (Vol. 3)".
15. The illustration of the 24 V DC power supply is divided between input signal and output signal for convenience. However, they
can be configured by one.
16. Use an external dynamic brake for this servo amplifier. Failure to do so will cause an accident because the servo motor does
not stop immediately but coasts at an alarm occurrence for which the servo motor does not decelerate to stop. Ensure the
safety in the entire equipment. For alarms for which the servo motor does not decelerate to stop, refer to chapter 8. For wiring
of the external dynamic brake, refer to section 11.17.
17. The external dynamic brake cannot be used for compliance with SEMI-F47 standard. Do not assign DB (Dynamic brake
interlock) in [Pr. PD07] to [Pr. PD09]. Failure to do so will cause the servo amplifier to become servo-off when an
instantaneous power failure occurs.

1) Always wire the power supply as shown in above section 3.1 using the magnetic contactor with
the main circuit power supply (L1/L2/L3). Configure up an external sequence to switch off the
magnetic contactor as soon as an alarm occurs.
2) Switch on the control circuit power supply (L11 and L21) simultaneously with the main circuit
power supply or before switching on the main circuit power supply. If the control circuit power
supply is turned on with the main circuit power supply off, and then the servo-on command is
transmitted, [AL. E9 Main circuit off warning] will occur. Turning on the main circuit power supply
stops the warning and starts the normal operation.
3) The servo amplifier receives the servo-on command within 3 s to 4 s after the main circuit power
supply is switched on.
