INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the PROFIBUS unit for the YAMAHA single-axis/dual-axis
robot controllers SRCP/SRCD/ERCX/SRCX/DRCX series.
This is an optional unit to allow connecting YAMAHA single-axis/dual-axis robot
controllers SRCP/SRCD/ERCX/SRCX/DRCX series (hereafter called "controller") to
the PROFIBUS widely used as a fieldbus.
This manual describes typical examples for taking safety measures, installing wiring,
making machine settings and operating the machine to ensure that the PROFIBUS unit is
used safely and effectively. After reading this manual keep it in a safe, easily accessible
location, so it can be referred to whenever needed. When moving this unit, always make
sure this manual accompanies it, and make sure that the person who will actually use this
PROFIBUS unit reads this manual thoroughly.
This manual only contains information involving the PROFIBUS unit. Please refer to the
controller user’s manual for information about basic controller operation and
programming, etc.
The HPB screen displays in this manual are for the DRCX series controllers (hereafter
called "dual-axis controller") and so may differ somewhat from the HPB screen display
for the SRCP/SRCD/ERCX/SRCX series controllers (hereafter called "single-axis
controller"). Please note that this will cause no problem with the functions of the controller
or PROFIBUS unit.
