RoboCylinder RCP2 Controller

Robo Cylinder RCP2 controller is the next-generation, all-new programmable single-axis positioner to succeed hugely popular RC(P) series.

Its compact, slim blody of 35mm in wodeth and 68.1mm in depth saves space in the installtion of the panel. The increased PIO points and expanded internal memory allow the position date for up to 64 positions. For each of these positions, you may assign position, speed, acceleration/deceleration and positioning width in the position data table.

You can also choose from a total of 5 different pin-assignment pattern for PIO signals, for instance, a pattern for 64 positions, a pattern for 16 positions with 2 Zone signals, a pattern for 16 positions with teaching operation etc.

Same as the RC(P) controller, it is possible to insert a numerical value in the "push" portion of the position data table, aside from normal positioning. This allows the motion to be executed at a lower speed after passing the goal position, and then the Position Complete Signal will turn ON after the force set point is met.

You may give an output while the slider is within a set range. The zone output will turn ON whenever the slider is within the zone range set in the parameters. This function may be useful for designing a dangerous area or reducing cycle time.

It is also possible to set different acceleration and decelration values. By inserting 1 as the value for "acceleration only MAX", the deceleration will still follow the value in the table, but the acceleration will be as fast as possible for the system.

You can program Robo Cylinder using either PC software or one of three teaching pendants.

Movement may be executed in following two different ways:

• Operation via digital I/O
• Operation via serial interface (RS485)

Operation via digital I/O
Select 64(16) variable positions and control speed, acceleration and deceleration via digital I/O using PLC, SEL Controller or any ditigal I/O device.

Operation via serial interface
The Robo Cylinder is equipped with a serial I/O port (RS485) as a standard feature. The user may control up to 16 units via serial communications from a separate device, i.e. PC or PLC.
