Industrial Wireless MPG Pendant for Fanuc CNC Controls
Setting datums, touching off tools, and indicating parts means fighting a 3-metre spring cable at the front console. Our Industrial Wireless MPG is a drop-in replacement that interfaces with Fanuc I/O units at the electrical hardware layer, with zero ladder modifications.
See also our general compatibility page for Fanuc 0i, 30i/31i/32i, 18i and 16i controls.
Electrical specifications
Fanuc handwheel electrical specifications
What the receiver presents on the Fanuc side of the connector, matched to the parameters the control already expects.
- Pulse train: 100 Pulses Per Revolution (PPR) optical encoder. Standard 4-state quadrature cycle matching Fanuc parameter 7110/7117 multiplier settings.
- Signal logic: 5V DC single-ended pulse output: HA (Phase A) and HB (Phase B), each referenced to a common 0V line, matching Fanuc's standard JA3 manual pulse generator interface.
- Power supply: Regulated +5V DC drawn directly from the Fanuc I/O unit or operator panel terminal.
- Safety circuit: Dual-channel NC dry relay wired directly into Fanuc's *ESP (Emergency Stop) string. Drops within 100 ms on RF link loss.
