1.1 Overview 

  

 

REC System is capable to control 16 axes of ELECYLINDER at the maximum in the field 
network of the host programable controller (hereinafter described as the PLC). 
 
The system is to be constructed with combinations of EC units capable to connect four axes per 
each between the EC gateway unit that is an interface for the field network connection and the 
terminal unit (terminal resistor). EC unit is available for four units at the maximum (16 axes) for 
connection. 
 
There are seven types of the EC gateway units, for CC-Link, for CC-Link IE Field, for 
DeviceNet, for EtherCAT, for EtherNet/IP, for PROFIBUS-DP and for PROFINET.
