Enhanced path precision
Applications like laser cutting and welding require extreme
path precision. An enhanced path precision function for
applications like this can be
switched on and off as
required.
Expansion options for your
applications
You can expand the robot and
add features required by your
applications with expansion
cards that plug into slots in
the controller, similar to the
expansion cards in a personal
computer.
Control for additional axes
The controller can handle up to 8 additional axes, in addition
to the robot’s own axes. Up to 2 of the additional axes
can be
interpolated with the robot.
Ethernet:
The Ethernet expansion card
uses the standard TCP/IP protocol
for high-speed communications
between the robot
controller and PCs or sensors.
You can configure the card in
master or slave mode as
required by your application.
One of the most attractive
features of this communications
option is the ability to
control the robot in real time,
so that the robot’s movements
can respond instantaneously
to sensor data.
RS232, RS422/485, tracking:
This expansion card provides
several serial communications
options for the connection of
peripherals and two encoder
inputs for the registration
of conveyor belt speeds. In
combination with the
corresponding integrated
system functions these
encoder inputs allow the
implementation of a ”
tracking”function, with
which the robot can synchronise
with the conveyor belt
and process products while
they are in motion.
CC-Link and high-speed I/O
network
This option provides a large
number of virtual I/Os, for
example for communication
between several robots or
connection of a PLC via a
simple twisted-pair line.
