The expansion modules allow the functionality of Robox controllers to be flexibly extended, adapting the system to the specific requirements of the machine or plant.
Thanks to their compatibility with Robox architectures, they can be easily integrated both locally and in a remote configuration (see Couplers).
This makes it possible to add inputs, outputs, and dedicated functions while maintaining an organized, scalable system that is perfectly coordinated with the main controller.
The range includes modules for panel installation, compact expansions, and field solutions, in order to meet different application requirements: from managing signals on the machine to implementing more complex distributed architectures.
I/O expansion modules
F Modules – IP20
I/O modules for creating modular Axioline stations inside the electrical cabinet. They are suitable for scalable automation architectures, with a high-performance local bus and a wide range of digital, analog, and special functions.
Legenda codes:
- 1H: Connettors just one side; width 35 mm
- 1F: Connettors just one side; width 53.6 mm
- 2H: Connettors both side; width 35 mm
- 2F: Connettors both side; width 53.6 mm
SE Modules – IP20
Compact Smart Elements for expanding an Axioline F station while reducing space requirements in the panel. They are plugged into dedicated 4-slot (AXL-F-BP-SE4) or 6-slot (AXL-F-BP-SE6) backplanes and allow quick integration of inputs, outputs, or specific functions according to the application requirements.
E Modules – IP67
I/O modules for direct field installation, close to sensors and actuators. Thanks to their high degree of protection and M12 connections, they are suitable for on-machine applications where it is useful to reduce wiring and move control outside the electrical cabinet.
Couplers
They allow expansion modules to be connected to RP controls, either locally via dedicated connectors or remotely via fieldbus couplers.
Local connection
- AXC-BS, for RP-0, RP-1, RP-2 motion controllers
- μRP-2 Axioline Bus Adapter (AS3052.001), for μRP-2 motion controller
- RP-3 Axioline Bus Adapter ((AS3052.002), for RP-3 motion controller
Remote connection
- AXL-F-BK-EC, for connection to an EtherCAT system
- AXL-F-BK-ETH, for connection to a Modbus/TCP system
FAQ
Do SE modules connect directly to the controller?
No. SE modules are not connected directly to the controller; they are installed on a dedicated backplane: AXL-F-BP-SE4 with 4 slots or AXL-F-BP-SE6 with 6 slots. Multiple backplanes can be mounted side by side according to the number of SE modules to be integrated into the Axioline F station.
How to choose between F Modules and SE Smart Elements?
F Modules are suitable for standard modular configurations of the Axioline F station. SE Smart Elements are more suitable when a compact solution is required, with higher functional density and reduced space requirements in the electrical cabinet.
How many Axioline modules can I manage?
Up to 63 Axioline modules can be managed, whether they are directly connected to the controller (RP-x) or to the AXL-F-BK-xx bus coupler.
