Controller Options

Extension I/O Unit

The extension I/O unit is a board for adding an additional 24 user inputs and 8 user outputs to the Master unit. This board has bidirectional polarity for both the input circuit and output circuit. . I/O Type (PNP vs NPN) is selectable at order placement.

Note: Must be added at order placement

CC-Link Unit

CC-Link (Control & Communication Link) is a field network interface that enables reduced wiring with high-speed data communication. The CC-Link interface can be used to perform various input/output and data communication for the coordinate table, status, and jog operations.

Note: This cannot be installed by the customer.

DeviceNet Unit

DeviceNet is a field network interface that enables reduced wiring, lower costs, and high-speed data communication. The DeviceNet interface can be used to perform various input/output and data communication for the jog operation.

Note: This cannot be installed by the customer.

Regenerative Discharge Unit

Application

This unit is designed to absorb excess electrical energy generated in an axis motor during deceleration by resistors within the regenerative discharge unit. The unit is useful when the load inertia exceeds the tolerance, or when a heavy load is lowered along the Z-axis over a long stroke (generating excessive electricity).

(The regenerative discharge unit prevents an overvoltage from being generated in the controller.)

Teach Pendant

Application When the teach pendant is connected to a controller, it can be used for input of programs and parameters and also issue commands to execute home return, start, stop, jog, emergency stop, and other operations. The teach pendant can also be used to display error messages and clear errors and faults that have occurred.
