1-1-1 Overview
The CS1W-MC421 and CS1W-MC221 are CS-series Motion Control Units
that can control four axes and two axes, respectively. With their internal G-lan-
guage programming, they can be used for advanced motion control opera-
tions, such as traversing, and their multi-tasking capability allows operations
to be performed independently for each axis.
Two types of motion control are possible: point-to-point and continuous path.
Point-to-point Control With point-to-point (PTP) control, positioning is controlled independently for
each axis. The pathway varies according to the travel distances, the feed
rates, and so on, that are set.
Continuous Path Control With continuous path (CP) control, not only the start position and target posi-
tion can be controlled but also the path between those points. Linear interpo-
lation, circular interpolation, helical circular interpolation, and traversing are all
possible.
The MC Unit has been developed for use in simple positioning applications
using servomotors. Applicable machines are as follows:
• Conveyor Systems: X/Y tables, palletizers/depalletizers, loaders/unload-
ers, etc. (Palletizers and depalletizers are devices used for loading goods
onto pallets or for unloading them from pallets. Loaders and unloaders
are devices that have shelves corresponding with the steps of a multistep
press and used for inserting or removing all the materials at one time.)
• Assembling Systems: Simple robots (including orthogonal robots), simple
automated assembling machines (such as coil winding, polishing, hole
punching), etc.
Note The MC Unit is not designed to perform linear interpolation, circular interpola-
tion, or helical circular interpolation with horizontal articulated robots or cylin-
drical robots, because it does not support coordinate conversions. The MC
Unit can, however, perform PTP control with these robots.
