High real-time performance for complex applications
The top of the range for industrial motion control
RP-2 represents the highest level of technology among Robox control units. Designed for complex and computationally intensive applications, it handles up to 32 interpolated axes with optimized performance through native integration with EtherCAT.
The hardware can support frequencies up to 2KHz (500μs), taking full advantage of EtherCAT fieldbus performance to ensure fast synchronization and accuracy.
Processor and memory
- Microprocessor ARM Cortex A9 Dual Core (800Mhz)
- 1GB DRAM
- Micro SD flash memory
- 512 byte retentive memory RAM for parameters and alarm history storage
Common communications
- EtherCAT Master: 2 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet channels master fieldbus to connect drives and/or I/O (CoE, SoE, EoE). They can also be used as general purpose Ethernet channels.
- Ethernet:
- 2 10/100 Mbit/s channels with internal swith for general purposes (TCP/IP, UDP, Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IP, OPC-UA, TFTP)
- 1 10/100 Mbit/s channel with WAN functionality
- Wi-Fi channel for direct access to integrated web server
- CANbus: DS301, DS401, DS402, DeviceNet, Robox Cnet protocols support for axis drive and/or remote I/O
- USB-B-UART serial channel for general purposes (Robox BBC/31, DF1)
- RS232 serial channel for general purposes (Robox BCC/31,DF1)
- Axioline Master Bus for communications with Axioline peripherals
