Reference Guide for a 2-Axis Robot Arm with 2-Phase Stepping
Motors Incorporating Resolvers
RX24T, RX72M,
RAA3064002GFP/RAA3064003GFP
Introduction
This document is a reference guide for a 2-axis robot arm with 2-phase stepping motors, each incorporating
a resolver sensor. The user has to prepare the components of the demo system described in this document.
Note that the control board drawings, mechanical part drawings, software for control (for motor control or
system control), and a GUI for controlling the demo system, which are listed in Related Documents below,
are available for use and can be found on the Renesas Electronics Website.
The demo system can be used for training in movements of the arm tip (written in specific commands) with
the use of a GUI on a PC and for moving the arm according to training in continuous path (CP) control by
linear or circular interpolation. Refer to the examples of operation posted on the Renesas Electronics
https://www.renesas.com/us/en/application/home-building/motor-control-solutions/resolver-
motor-control-solutions-consumer-and-industrial-applications#videos
).
This document explains the system configuration and mechanical parts of the demo system, circuit diagrams
of motor control boards, and methods of manipulating the demo system by using the GUI. For the software to
be written to the motor control boards and its control functions, refer to the application note
"R01AN5662EJ0100".
