Outlines of the XRC
Built-in transformer Simple installation and setup by plugconnections. Used for robot in UP-series and SK-X, SP-X and SV-X-series. INFORM programming language Expandable slots for optional boards -Sensor function by XSL-board -Welding interface MEW and XEW-board -I/O-interface MIO-board -Ethernet and Fieldbus board XRC cabinets may be put on top of each other or docked side by side Fulfils the EC-directive incl. EMC and LVD Made in Sweden

Programming pendant
All programming functions are in one unit with clear and large 12-line screen. Optimal programming time is achieved while all functions are available during programming. The menu text can be switched between several different European languages by a simple key operation. The programming pendant is equipped with a 3-position ”deadman´s handle”.

Communication
XRC like the previous control system for MOTOMAN robots, is a technical data solution that is PC-compatible allowing common computer Tools to be used for creating, reading and editing jobs in a PC. The flexibility of the control system makes it possible to communicate with other systems such as PLC’s, host computers, vision systems etc., through serial links, Ethernet, digital I/O’s and fieldbus. The controller memory is also accessible through a PC-card.

Advanced control system
Powerful 32-bit micro processor for rapid data processing. PLC-programs for different applications, for example: arc welding and handling. Advanced PLC-unit in the control system with expanded program capacity and new logical functions e.g. for controlling Pneumatic functions in fixtures. Multi tasking makes it possible to run several jobs simultaneously. Digital servopacks with Software controlled speed and position feedback.

Path control
The robots working path is controlled with consistent precision and quality. Even at high speeds the robot will not vary from the programmed path of travel. XRC improves high speed welding, cutting and sealing applications better than ever.

Shock detection function
This function stops the robot when it comes into contact with an object. Robot or peripherical devices can be protected in case of accidental collision.

ARM control
Advanced Robot Motion Control improves the quality and productivity by improved servo response of the motion control. Optimised acceleration/deceleration and vibration control ensures the correct path and cycle time. Speed is automatically optimised for circles and corners. Collision between robot, robot tool and other devices is immediately detected to stop the robot and protect it from damage.

Maintenance functions
Remotely monitors maintenance function of robot status through Ethernet network. Production processing and quality control monitoring can be managed from a central control room. Maintains history of when and who changed the robot job instructions.
