RC 200

RC 200: Robot control unit for integratedor stand alone operation

ENGEL ERC linear robots include the RC 200 control unit. This can be fully integrated with the EC 200 / CC 200 control unit on your ENGEL injection moulding machine, however, it still supports stand-alone operations on ENGEL machines with older control units or machines by other vendors.

Integrated operations with ENGEL robots

ENGEL machines equipped with an ENGEL robot are supplied with the robot control unit integrated with the machine control unit. This offers a number of advantages:

• The machine and the robot are set up using a shared terminal with integrated screens. The robot can be controlled using a separate mobile control device.
• Machine and robot control unit have the same control logic and the same look-and-feel.
• Mould and robot data sets are stored together.
• Extremely fast data transmissions between the robot and the machine support real-time communications. This means that you can, e.g., synchronise movements of end-of-arm tooling and the mould.

Stand-alone operations with ENGEL robots
A manual control device with an integrated touch screen is available for stand-alone operations with ENGEL robots. The manual control device is also available as an option for robot control units integrated in the machine control unit. It shows users the same screens as the EC 200 / CC 200.
