ADVANCED I/O FEATURES
nput / Output (I/O) are electrical signals through which the robot can
control grippers and other external tools. It is also needed for the
communication with external machines (e.g. CNC machines) which the
robot may load or unload
Available types of I/O
· DI/DO (digital)
· RI/RO at the robot arm (digital
· GI/GO (grouped digital I/O)
· UI/UO (digital I/O for remote control by external PLC)
· AI/AO (analog I/O)
· WI/WO (arc welding I/O)
· SI/SO (standard operation panel interface)
I/O setup can be separately backed up and restored using PCMCIA
emory card or USB

FFICIENT COOLING SYSTEM WITH SEPARATED AIR CIRCUIT
Cooling by external air for maximum effi ciency
· Rear to rear air fl ow, saving fl oor space and poss
controllers side by side
· All components are IP 54 sealed, hence no fi lters necessary (reduced
maintenance and cost reduction).
Fully sealed internal air circui
· No external air coming into the component sid
· No dust can enter the controller and cause short circuit
· Fans on the controller door and in the controller rack ensure optimum
cooling of all component

XTENDED AXES CONTROL R3
The controller can manage up to 40 axe
(divided in up to 5 groups; one group can control up to 9 axes), such as:
4 r
4 auxiliary axes groups (arc welding positioners, robot rails, servo hands,
rippers...
HERE ARE THREE TYPES OF MOTION CONTROL AVAILABLE:
Extended auxiliary axes: for robot rails and simple tools (grippers
Nobot: for servo driven tools and other inte
Positioner: for arc we
robot and positioner.
LLOWING OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE A
XTENSIONS OF THIS FEATURE:
Aux Axis servo off: for safety design of manual in/out-feed stations
Torque limit: in order to control the gripping force of servo grippers
Servo hand change function: This allows the changing and disconnectin
servo hands and too
Continuous turn: for tools and positioners needing endless rotation
Multi-motion for multiple groups
Multi-robot control (dual / multiple arm) for more than one robot
AST STARTUP
-
basic software onl
n case of power failure:
Robot program restarts much quicker than with any PC-based program
(non-Windows operating system)
The resume hotstart function allows restarting safely and continuing
roduction after power failure: no need to re-do the whole movement.
Unique resume tolerance check: in case of any program interruption,
the robot automatically memorises its position before failure. When the
program continues, it checks whether the robot has been moved outside
a preset tolerance.
Increased up-time (robot availability)

SAFETY CLASS 4
Safety Class 4 (EN 954-1) is offered with Dual Check Safety.
CS consists of 2 I/O security channels running on 2 independent
rocessors which mutually check each other. Dual Check Safety is the
embedded safety conformed to European safety standards. Two processors
monitor real position and velocity of servo motor for safety redundantly. The
embedded safety provides conformance to the safety standards without any
acrifi ce on machine effi ciency and cost.
ual Check Safety in the robot has the following features:
2 channel safety inputs for FENCE, Emergency Stop, Servo Off
2 channel safety output for Emergency Stop
Same safety inputs and outputs as R-J
Safely cuts the servo motor power using magnetic contactors
Safety classifi cation according to EN 954-1 risk assessment class 4
highest level as needed for manual press loadin
SERVO MONITORING OVERLOAD, OVERHEAT
ND COLLISION DETECTION
ontinuous monitoring of the motor current by the servo control for
enhanced predictive maintenance
Overheat monitoring: the power dissipation and capacity of each motor
is continuously monitored, as well as the robot duty cycle. In case of
verheat, an alarm is issued and stops the robot.
Collision detection (disturbance torque monitoring): the difference
etween real and expected motor current is monitored. Collisions and
lectrical / mechanical problems to the robot can be detected quickly
efore serious damages occur. Disturbance excess alarm warns the
erator while the collision alarm stops the robot. Collision events are
ecorded to allow further analysis
Overload monitoring (OVC): the commanded torque is monitored and
verload detected when the value gets too big.
Position monitoring: the „following“ error of the servo control is
onstantly monitored. It tr
alarms
ers move error excess and stop error excess
