1.2 Features
(1) Applicable for Field Networks
The system is capable to control ELECYLINDER in seven types of field networks (CC-Link,
CC-Link IE Field, DeviceNet, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS-DP and PROFINET IO).
(2) Modular connections with excellent expansibility
REC System can be constructed with necessary number of the EC connection units
combined.
It is available to connect four axes of ELECYLINDER to one unit. The maximum connectable
number of axes is 16.
(3) Ultra-compact size
EC gateway unit / EC connection unit are units with super compact size, W30mm/22.6mm x
H115mm x D95mm.
With 16 axes linked, the size is W133mm x H115mm x D85mm.
This contributes to the miniaturization of the control board.
(4) High performance
Adopts total frame communication for a communication cycle time within 4 ms even with 16
axes connected.
A high-heat dissipation structure is adopted to support ambient temperatures up to 55°C.
(There is no need of a fan unit mounted)
(5) Enhanced preventive and predictive maintenance functions
The present position and motor current value can be monitored, as well as the travel count,
travel distance, and motor overload status.
In addition, there are functions for predicting the life using the internal capacitor temperature
and operation time, and for monitoring decreases in fan rotation speed.
The actuator body can register individual actuator information. The individual information can
be checked at IAI even if the actuator is removed from the controller and returned.
(6) Improved usability
Equipped with a USB port as standard. Connection to a PC is possible using a commercial
USB cable.
A JOG switch and brake release switch are equipped on the front of the driver unit.
Operation is easy even without a teaching tool.
