Outline: Universal Controller YHX series
YAMAHA's Advanced Robotics Automation Platform realizes cooperative motions and synchronized control among all the robots, peripheral units and devices that make up an automated line.
Universal Controller YHX series
Excellent expandability significantly saves space, reduces costs, and decreases setup man-hours.
PC Programming Software
PC operating environment
*OS : Windows 7 SP1/8/8.1/10 (64-bit version only for all)
*Memory : 8 GB or larger
Example System of system configuration
An example using
a host controller unit
An example using
a gateway driver power unit
Feature
01Universal Control System
“FA Universal Controller” that structure an automation production line Structure all robots and peripheral devices that support the Advanced Robotics Automation Platform with a common platform.
This enables to maximize the potential of production line.
Centralized and Integrated Control
The robot integration significantly reduces time-consuming work of automatization.
Integrating a high performance PLC function
One single YHX controller enables universal control.
Completely commonizing archtecture
02Minimizing Cost
System operation restricted to the labor cost of installation and setup. YHX controller provides more choices and options.
Stacking modular structure
No wiring between modules needed.
Space efficiency in control panel
One stop solution to problems with control panels
The remote IO unit wiring convenience
Reducing actual wiring lengths and simplifying wiring work
03Commonizing Line Operation
Same commands control all robots and peripheral devices
Enables to build up a improved production line in a short period of time
Unitized PLC control and robot control
Development environment software YHX Studio
The YHX Studio is a software program for programming and adjusting a YHX controller. Download the software program from the website for use. Note that a USB key (dongle) is necessary to run the program.
(If the USB key is not connected with the PC, the YHX Studio is unable to start.)

Outline of programming
The YHX controller chooses the programming languages from the graphic language (LD) and text language (ST) that are defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission’s IEC61131-3. You can choose the optimal language that suits you purpose.
Ladder diagram (LD)
This graphic language is configured by contacts and coils. Since it uses circuit diagram similar to those of relay sequence circuits, it is fit for I/O interlock processing or similar operations.
Structured text (ST)
This is a text language based on the general-purpose programming language “PASCAL”. In the same manner as the sophisticated language “C Language”, you can describe the control by syntax (a control syntax by conditional branch based on a conditional sentence and by loop statement). This is particularly powerful for arithmetic expressions and data processing.
- A control syntax by conditional branch based on a conditional sentence and by loop statement
- Equation using operators (such as * , /, +, -, <, >)
- Calling up functions
- Description of comments using full block characters (2 bytes) such as Kanji and Hiragana
