Mechatrolink III networks
New interface
When it comes to really fast, time-critical applications, the integration of decentralized I/Os into the Mechatrolink-III real-time Ethernet bus was previously only possible to a limited extent due to the lack of suitable modules.
With the new Mechatrolink-III interface SLIO 053ML, Yaskawa now offers an alternative for integrating up to 64 input and output modules of the SLIO system. The compact I/O system with fast backplane bus, single-channel diagnostic LEDs and upright wiring has a modular design, and digital and analog input and output or counter modules are available, for example. The potential of this new development can be seen in Yaskawa's singular control solution. The entire system - robots, servo drives, frequency inverters and I/Os - can then be controlled via a single controller and programmed in just one software environment. Machine builders and users can use the solution to implement robots in existing architectures without the need for a programming device or a proprietary robot programming language. The motion sequence of the individual axes is calculated in the controller firmware. Motoman robots with controllers from the DX200, YRC1000 and YRC1000 Micro series can currently be integrated into machine architectures at the click of a mouse. as
