THE TOOLS
YOU NEED
The expansion cards for communication with external
devices and for integration into fi eldbus networks can
fl exibly expand your system according to your require-
ments at a low cost.
RS-232C serial interfaces
There are still some devices which only have the serial interface for com-
munication. With the serial expansion card you can use up to four of those
interfaces.
Expansion I/O cards
If the 24 standard inputs and 16 outputs are not enough and you do not
want to set up a fi eldbus network, 32 inputs and 32 outputs per card can
be added to your system. You can use a total of up to four expansion
cards.
Fieldbus card
Is your installation already provided with a fi eldbus system or do you wish
to reduce the effort for establishing further connections? Then you can use
the following slave card options for the RC180: Profi bus, DeviceNet, CC-
Link and Ethernet IP.
With the portable TP1 operating and display device
or the OP1 operator pendant for operation and visuali-
sation tasks, you have an eye on everything and
everything under control.
TP1 Teach Pendant —
ergonomic and comfortable
The portable operating and display device fulfi ls all tasks regarding moni-
toring, operation and parametrisation for SCARA and 6-axis robots. The
Teach Pendant can execute different commands, including motor on/off.
Left-handed as well as right-handed persons can operate the teach pen-
dant so that it can be handled free from fatigue.
OP1 Operator Pendant —
the external operating unit with fi ve screens
The pendant is designed for operation and visualisation tasks even in com-
plex installations. There are fi ve function-specifi c screens which you can
easily access. The freely editable user dialogues can be set up comfortably
with the Epson programming language.
