The MRC01-C Cartesian / Gantry robot controller supports easy programming and control of in-house designed custom built robots with 3 simple steps: "Initial Setup", "Operating Programming" and "Operational Checking".
EtherNet/IP™ is a trademark of ODVA.
MRC01-C is a dedicated controller for Cartesian robots. It can be used in the following cases.
The connection between the MRC01-C and host system is controlled directly via EtherNet/IP™. Custom-built robots can be added easily, without the need to make major changes to the control system from the existing equipment.

Initial settings are made using a wizard to select the robot type and input mechanism information.
By following the guidance instructions while looking at the illustrations, even absolute beginners can quickly set up a robot's initial settings.
Program creation uses a simple command selection format. Programs can be created intuitively, without requiring specialized knowledge such as ladder diagrams. The system supports P to P operation, linear interpolation operation, circular interpolation operation, arch motion and others.
Operating data is executed directly from a host controller via EtherNet/IP.
The robot’s operation program can be checked using a 3D simulator. The program can be checked easily before the actual robot is activated.
The αSTEP AZ Series Mechanical Absolute Encoder is available as a leading closed loop, battery free absolute motion solution sold as a Stepper Motor + Driver or Linear Actuator + Driver allowing for absolute, battery free, advanced performance across a wide range of applications.
The MRC01 Robot Controller is for use with AZ Series Built-in Controller Type and mini RS-485 Communication Type Drivers
