F3YP18-0N Yokogawa FA-M3 8-Axis Positioning Module – Pulse Output
The Yokogawa F3YP18-0N is an 8-axis positioning module for the FA-M3 series PLC. It drives servomotors and stepping motors through RS-422A differential pulse output. This module performs open-loop position control. It supports PTP movement and multi-axis linear interpolation under CPU control.
This module suits multi-axis machines that need fast pulse output and flexible origin search. It offers 3,998,000 pps maximum output for servomotors. Moreover, it offers 499,750 pps for stepping motors. Both trapezoidal and S-shape ACC/DCC curves are available.

Key Capabilities
- High pulse rate: Fast servo and stepper control on eight axes.
- Flexible motion profiles: Trapezoidal and S-shape curves reduce mechanical shock.
- Precise positioning: The 32-bit position range supports long travel.
- Reliable origin search: It uses limit, origin, and encoder Z-phase signals.
- Data retention: Parameters stay in the CPU module and Flash ROM.
- Diagnostics: The deviation pulse clear output helps monitor position error.
Typical Applications
- Multi-axis CNC and transfer machines
- Pick-and-place and assembly stations
- Packaging and labeling lines
- Semiconductor and electronics handling equipment
- Legacy FA-M3 system upgrades and spare-part replacement
Compatibility Notes
The F3YP18-0N fits the Yokogawa FA-M3 PLC platform. It works with RS-422A compatible servo drives and stepping drives. Therefore, confirm the base module slot and CPU firmware support before installation. This module serves as a direct replacement for existing FA-M3 positioning systems.
Installation Guide
- Power down the FA-M3 rack before inserting the module.
- Seat the module firmly in a supported slot.
- Wire pulse outputs as RS-422A differential pairs.
- Connect limit, origin, and encoder Z-phase inputs.
- Set parameters through the CPU module or programming tool.
- Verify motion direction and pulse scale at low speed first.
Setup and Maintenance
Parameter backup runs to the CPU module and Flash ROM. As a result, module replacement becomes faster. Origin search can be re-run automatically after service. The deviation pulse clear output supports quick fault tracing. In addition, keep wiring shielded to protect pulse signals from noise.
