Model introduction

Epson supports all four major fieldbus I/O standards, including: DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Profibus, and CC-Link. The RC620+ (discontinued), RC180, and RC90 controllers come with slot options for these cards, and our Epson RC+ software achieves full integration, quickly and easily supporting various fieldbus I/O standards. High performance: fieldbus I/O processing is executed on the fieldbus I/O card. Fast communication throughput is one reason for using fieldbus I/O; DeviceNet, Profibus, and EtherNet/IP can all serve as master or slave solutions (master solutions are limited to RC620+ (discontinued) controllers); Tightly integrated with Epson RC+ ensures the fastest throughput. Ease of use: fully supports all four major fieldbus I/O standards; GUI-based settings, configurable I/O mapping, etc.; Full integration with Epson RC+, with SPEL+ language simplifying I/O access; Can work in conjunction with all Epson industrial robot models supported by the RC620+ (discontinued), RC180 (discontinued), and RC90 controllers. Widely used in the following industries: automotive; Medical; Consumer goods; Industry; Telecommunications; Semiconductors
