Single axis robot positioner EP-01

01Easy operation and affordable system with Industrial Ethernet

Robot positioner “EP-01” is a newly designed positioner for a better Ethernet platform and the cost performance.  As a result the price of Ethernet is now offered at the same price level as parallel I/O (NPN).  While achieving a lower cost design, “EP-01” positioner has expanded features such as standard Ethernet, feedback pulse output, direct value control function, and real-time output. 

[Supported field networks]

02Design concept is long service life and low cost.

All Yamaha products have gone through stringent internal evaluation process for a long service life.

03Space efficient compact design. Industry-leading compactness

Compact design for machine size reduction.

06For stable and constant operation Contribution to early recovery from line stop

07Industrial Ethernet achieves higher-grade equipment. Robot status monitoring with real-time output function

It is useful to check the conditions of the robot and as a guide for maintenance timing.

• Current position
• Current speed
• Motor current
• Alarm code when an alarm occurs.

• Overload integration ratio (Overload occurs at 100%.)
• Movement distance (When the servo is ON.)
• Movement time (When the servo is ON.)
• Motor load factor

08To meet a wide range of needs Used for a wider range of applications with expanded functions and new functions.

Acceleration and deceleration designation type was added to the positioning operation command from the PLC.

Direct value position designation	Position data	Speed	Acceleration	Deceleration
Data designation type 1	○
Data designation type 2	○	○
Data designation type 3	○	○	○	○

Feedback pulse function has been added to enable use in conjunction with external devices.

Feedback pulse output
