Chapter 4 24V Driver Unit EC Connection Unit
4.1 Overview
The 24V driver unit is a dedicated controller for R unit.
There are 5 types of driver unit available to suit the type of actuator motor controllable.
Additionally, up to 2 axes are controllable by a single driver unit.
Basic functions and performance are the same as PCON/ACON/DCON/SCON controllers.
These controllers use field network communication via a gateway unit, as described in Chapter
3, for control.
[Features]
■ Compatible with battery-less absolute specification and incremental specification. Additionally,
connection of a simple absolute unit allows support for simple absolute specification.
■ Compatible with stepper motor PowerCON specification and high thrust specification.
■ Driver units are directly connected so that the hassles of wiring can be significantly reduced.
■ DIN rail mounting makes it easy to mount onto control boards, etc.
The EC connection is a unit to connect ELECYLINDER dedicated for R Unit.
Connect RCON-EC connection type (option: ACR) ELECYLINDER to RCON and
ELECYLINDER can be controlled in the field network communication. 24V and 200V driver units
can exist together.
Also, the number of ELECYLINDER available to be connected to one unit of the EC connection
unit should be four axes at the maximum.
In this section, explains the 24V driver units (RCON-PC/PCF/AC/DC) and the EC connection
unit (RCON-EC).
Refer to Specification Edition Chapter 5 for the 200V driver unit (RCON-SC).
