    Smooth movement is achieved by greatly improving the motion functions.

    As a new servo motion engine is incorporated into the controller, various operations can be linked. Newly developed algorithms achieve reduction of the positioning time and improvement of the tracking accuracy.

    Tracking accuracy is improved.

    Visualization using the servo analysis functions and high response using the functions increase the followingness. This improves the tracking accuracy when compared to conventional models.

    Flexible axis configuration supports a wide variety of applications.

    The interpolation operation in the dual lane is possible by setting the multi-coordinate axes and making the CP commands applicable to the axis designation. This greatly shortens the cycle time of the robot with multiple axes having the same coordinate attribute.

    More intuitive arch motion designation is possible.

    As the arch motion route designation method is changed, the designation method is simplified and more intuitive designation is possible.

    The speed is made faster by liking dif ferent operations, such as PTP, interpolation operation, and conveyor tracking.

    Use of linked PTP makes it possible to link all operations as much as possible.A s o p e r a t i o n s w i t h d i f f e r e n t acceleration/deceleration time are linked at the maximum level by giving priority to the operation t ime, the m ovement t ime can be grea t l y shortened.

    When performing the continuous operation at a constant speed, such as sealing, the conventional PATH is used. When giv ing pr ior i t y to the movement time, the liked PTP is used. An optimal operation suitable for the application can be selected.

    Example : PTP CP

    PTP1/PTP2 operation patterns are calculated as the linking is considered as preconditions.

    Multiple robots can be controlled only with one master controller.The RCX340 controller allows high-speed communication among the controllers. As the master controller sends operation commands to each slave controller, programs and points can be controlled only with the host master controller.Additionally, as the RCX340 controller flexibly supports multi tasks, the data exchanging using the PLC can be simplified. Simultaneous start and arrival of each robot can also be controlled freely.Complicated and precise robot system using many axes can be constructed more simply at low costs.

  • Connecting to other company’s servo amplifier allows more flexible robot configuration.

    As other company’s servo amplifier is used instead of the RCX340 controller, it can be operated as a robot axis.Additionally, the conventional models have the restrictions on the robot configuration as follows. Axis allocation needs to be selected from the fixed patterns or XYZR coordinate attribute is fixed inside the controller.However, the RCX340 controller allows you to feely set the coordinate attribute so as to support various robot configurations.

    A wide variety of field buses are supported./Up to four controllers are connected to perform the centralized control of multiple robots.

    Improvement of cycle time

    The speed is made faster with the YK-XG series.

    User memory capacity is increased.

    This programming box supports three languages, “Japanese”, “English”, and “Chinese”. Use of color display greatly improves the visibility.Funct ion add i t ion and ed i t opera t ions become easy to a l low even a nov ice opera tor w i th less programming skill to operate the programming box.A function to save the controller data into a USB memory is also incorporated into this programming box.

    RS-232C and Ethernet ports are provided as standard equipment. In addition to CC-Link and DeviceNet, a wide variety of high-speed and large capacity field networks, such as EtherNet/IP are supported as options.It is also easy to link to other company’s controller or other company’s vision system. Thus, the RCX340 is called “exactly connectable controller”.

  • Connecting to other company’s servo amplifier allows more flexible robot configuration.

    As other company’s servo amplifier is used instead of the RCX340 controller, it can be operated as a robot axis.Additionally, the conventional models have the restrictions on the robot configuration as follows. Axis allocation needs to be selected from the fixed patterns or XYZR coordinate attribute is fixed inside the controller.However, the RCX340 controller allows you to feely set the coordinate attribute so as to support various robot configurations.

    A wide variety of field buses are supported./Up to four controllers are connected to perform the centralized control of multiple robots.

    Improvement of cycle time

    The speed is made faster with the YK-XG series.

    User memory capacity is increased.

    This programming box supports three languages, “Japanese”, “English”, and “Chinese”. Use of color display greatly improves the visibility.Funct ion add i t ion and ed i t opera t ions become easy to a l low even a nov ice opera tor w i th less programming skill to operate the programming box.A function to save the controller data into a USB memory is also incorporated into this programming box.

    RS-232C and Ethernet ports are provided as standard equipment. In addition to CC-Link and DeviceNet, a wide variety of high-speed and large capacity field networks, such as EtherNet/IP are supported as options.It is also easy to link to other company’s controller or other company’s vision system. Thus, the RCX340 is called “exactly connectable controller”.

    More fulfilled expandability

    Connection function improvements

    Functions, such as robot languages, multi tasks, sequence functions, communications,

    and field buses are improved to make them easier to use.

    Enhanced basic performance

    Motion optimization

    To bring out the robot performance at its maximum level, the motion optimization corresponding to the operation pattern is further strengthened.Robot operations with excellent quality, such as shortening of the operation time or suppression of vibrat ions at stop are achieved.

    Compact design

    The outside dimensions are approx. 355 mm (W) x 195 mm (H) x 130 mm (D). The volume ratio is reduced approx. 85% when compared to the conventional 4-axis controller to achieve the compact design and make the installation inside the control panel easy.

    Downsized approx. 15% when compared to RCX240.

    New support software “RCX-Studio” with improved visibility and operability

    The program debugging funct ions are enhanced to suppor t mul t i tasks. The quick setup is possible wi th easy-to-use operabil ity and program input support function.
