Yamaha Yamaha Robot Controller CC-Link Unit, RCX Series owner manual Features, Wiring saving

1. Features

CC-Link is the abbreviation of Control & Communication Link.

The CC-Link system connects the robot controller and dispersed input/output modules with dedicated cables, and controls these modules from the master station PLC.

The CC-Link system allows wiring to be reduced.

n NOTE

The dedicated input of the STD.DIO connector provided on the controller will be disabled except for an interlock signal (DI 11). When the external 24V monitor control of system parameters is disabled, the interlock signal (DI 11) will also be disabled.

Master station Station that controls entire CC- Link system.

c CAUTION

An emergency stop terminal for hardwire is provided in the SAFETY connector on the robot controller. When the CC-Link system is used while STD. DIO is not used (external DC 24V power supply is not used), invalidate the external DC 24V monitor control setting in SYSTEM > PARAM mode. If it is left valid, the STD. DIO interlock signal is made valid causing an error in the robot operation commands.

CC-Link is a registered trademark of CC-Link partner association.

The CC-Link compatible module provided with a label is compatible with CC-Link Ver 1.10.

[Wiring saving]

One dedicated cable (4-wire) is used to connect the robot controller and PLC. This allows the entire system wiring to be reduced.

[Emulated serialization on parallel DIO]

By making the robot controller’s internal settings without using a robot program, the various I/O devices, such as the sensors and relays mounted on the robot controller’s parallel I/O can be controlled from the PLC as if they were CC-Link system I/O devices.
