R-30iA Mate Open Air Controller

R-30iA Mate Open Air Controller ideal for laboratory and dense robot application

Features

R-30iA Mate Open Air Controller im Industrie-PC-Format

Ideally suited for small and compact robot cells the FANUC robots LR Mate 200iC and M-1iA are available with the space saving R-30iA Mate Open Air Controller.
The “Open Air” Controller has smallest dimensions and is cooled by outside air blown through the controller, while offering the full functionality available with R-30iA Mate controller. The “Open Air” Controller needs to be installed in a clean and dry environment. The controller dimensions are ideal for mounting inside an industrial control cabinet (which can e.g. provide IP54 protection).

Dimensions: only H = 200 mm x W = 370 mm x D = 450 mm
Weight: ca. 20kg
Energy saving: only 1.2KVA input power capacity requirement
Requires clean and dry environment: Installation category II, pollution degree 2, IEC60664-1
ON/OFF switch, mode selection switch, emergency stop an start button provided on the front panel
PCMCIA slot for data storage on PCMCIA FROM card provided
New lightweight iPendant with USB-stick slot can be connected.

I/O FEATURES FOR R-30iA MATE

Input / Output (I/O) are electrical signals through which the robot can control grippers and other external tools. It is also needed for the communication with external machines (e.g. CNC machines) which the robot may load or unload.

Available types of I/O

DI/DO (digital)
RI/RO at the robot arm (digital)
GI/GO (grouped digital I/O)
UI/UO (digital I/O for remote control by external PLC)
AI/AO (analog)

I/O setup can be separately backed up and restored using PCMCIA memory card

FAST START-UP

R-30iA Mate controller needs less than 1 minute to start (and even less with the basic software only)
In case of power failure:

Robot program restarts much quicker than with any PC-based program (non-Windows operating system).
The resume hotstart function allows to restarting safely and continuing production after power failure : no need to re-do the whole movement.
Unique resume tolerance check: in case of any program interruption, the robot automatically memorises its position before failure. When the program continues, it checks wether the robot has been moved outside of a preset tolerance. This avoids unexpected movements and collisions.
Increased up-time (robot availability)
