TM Robotics Cartesian Controller Options
Extension I/O Unit
The extension I/O unit is a board for adding an additional 24 user inputs and 8 user outputs to the Master unit. This board has bidirectional polarity for both the input circuit and output circuit. . I/O Type (PNP vs NPN) is selectable at order placement.
Note: Must be added at order placement
CC-Link Unit
CC-Link (Control & Communication Link) is a field network interface that enables reduced wiring with high-speed data communication. The CC-Link interface can be used to perform various input/output and data communication for the coordinate table, status, and jog operations.
Note: This cannot be installed by the customer.
DeviceNet Unit
DeviceNet is a field network interface that enables reduced wiring, lower costs, and high-speed data communication. The DeviceNet interface can be used to perform various input/output and data communication for the jog operation.
Note: This cannot be installed by the customer.
Regenerative Discharge Unit
Application
This unit is designed to absorb excess electrical energy generated in an axis motor during deceleration by resistors within the regenerative discharge unit. The unit is useful when the load inertia exceeds the tolerance, or when a heavy load is lowered along the Z-axis over a long stroke (generating excessive electricity).
(The regenerative discharge unit prevents an overvoltage from being generated in the controller.)
Teach Pendant
Application
When the teach pendant is connected to a controller, it can be used for input of programs and parameters and also issue commands to execute home return, start, stop, jog, emergency stop, and other operations. The teach pendant can also be used to display error messages and clear errors and faults that have occurred.
TM Robotics Cartesian Controller Options
TM Robotics offers a range of high-performance cartesian controller options designed to complement their Cartesian robots. These controllers are engineered to provide precise control, flexibility, and ease of integration into various industrial applications.
Master Controllers
Product Overview
The master controllers are the primary control processors for Cartesian systems. They are available in several models, each designed to handle different load capacities and operational requirements.
Controller Features
- Models: CA25-M10, CA25-M40, CA25-M80
- Power Settings: User-selectable input power setting (100~115VAC or 200~230VAC) for global integration capabilities.
- High Efficiency: Larger models use 200-230VAC to power high-efficiency AC Servo motors.
- Inputs/Outputs: 8 inputs and 8 outputs standard, with selectable I/O type (PNP vs NPN) at order placement.
- Task Execution: Capable of simultaneously executing up to 4 independent tasks in sequential mode.
- Teach Pendant: THP-4C Teach pendant is recommended with each master unit for ease of programming and operation.
Enhanced Functions
- Servo Control Engine: High-performance servo control engine enables handling complex trajectories and 3D interpolation.
- High-Load Controllers: Special controllers for motor capacities greater than 750 W reduce the cost of high-load systems.
- Integrated Driver Controls: Master unit with built-in driver controls for one axis can be connected to additional slave controllers, handling up to four control axes.
- Processing Speed: Increased processing speed for reduced cycle times.
- External Point Designation Mode: Enhanced mode allows for external output of the point table number after positioning, simplifying integration.
