RCX141 and RCX142 united into one unit
Besides Cartesian and SCARA robots, this controller
also handle a mixed combination of single axis robot
FLIP-X and linear single-axis robot PHASER.
2 The absolute position data
hold time: 1 year
The current position information is monitored even
during a long vacation, while the controller is kept
unused and while it is transported so that the return to
the origin process is not required when the controller is
activated again.
3 Linear and circular interpolation in 2
and 3 dimensions
These functions ensure smooth and high precision
operation ideal for tasks such as sealing.
4 Passing point output
The general-purpose output can be turned on or off at
the specied point during interpolation tasks without
having to stop robot operation along that axis.
5 Area check output
During robot operation, this function sends an I/O output
when the robot enters a preset area or zone.
6 Push function
This function controls the motor torque during grip and
press-t operation.
7 Dual-synchronous drive function
The RX240 includes a dual-drive function for
simultaneously driving 2 axes. The dual drive function
is effective on Cartesian robots for conveying heavy-
weight payloads and long strokes along the Y axis.
8 Multitasking function
This function simultaneously runs multiple (maximum of
8 tasks) in parallel on robot peripheral equipment, etc.
9 2-robot control & auxiliary axis control
Assigning 2 robot units as main and sub allows multitasking
as well as operating these robots asynchronously.
10
Supports a full range of options
Select from parallel I/O boards (NPN/PNP), and network
options (CC-Link, DeviceNet, Probus, Ethernet).
Also supports the iVY board and tracking boards.
11
Capable of using additional function
of “YC-Link option” for additional axis
Linking the RCX series controller with the SR1 series
single-axis controller allows controlling a maximum of 8
axes (synchronous control of 6 axes).
12
Utilizes system assets from prior
models RCX141 / RCX142
This RCX240 is compatible with systems using the
RCX141, RCX142 and so can be shifted unchanged to
function as host/upstream device on those systems.
RCX240S
RCX240
Please note that:
The current sensor on the RCX240S cannot be set to 20A.
As a controller stocked for maintenance, please order an RCX240 that can be set to any of 05A, 10A and 20A.
