(6) Extended serial interface
■ Order type: ● 2A-RZ581-E
■ Outline
The extension serial interface is the option to add a serial communication function to
the robot controller. One channel of RS-232C interface is provided in the front of the
controller. By using the extension serial interface, more channels can be added in
order to allow the use of a personal computer, vision sensor and PLC at the same
time. Also, in addition to RS-232C communication, RS-422 communication, which is
superior in noise resistance, is also supported.
Caution) This option can only be used with the robot controller's main unit software
version E1 or later.
