2 With IAI, building an FA system is easy - you In an effort to increase productivity and aim for higher product quality, the automation of production facilities has accelerated significantly. Moreover, with today's networking technologies, facilities are trying to reduce their TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), by means of wire-saving configurations, vertical startup, and streamlined maintenance tasks. For this reason, connectivity between multiple FA equipment is becoming increasingly crucial. IAI's small industrial robots offer reliable compatibility with different types of FA equipment in a wide range of well-proven applications. In addition, the tasks of creating a complex program and verifying proper communication can be simplified, allowing you to build your FA system more easily. Touchscreens Touchscreens are HMI terminals used to send operational instructions to the devices and to monitor their status. IAI's small industrial robot controllers can be connected directly to touchscreens. This allows you to not only use the touchscreen to modify your settings for changeovers, but also use it as a teaching box or a status monitor. Pro-face (Digital) MONITOUCH OMRON KEYENCE A, which controls the motions of automated machines on production lines, not only sends operational instructions to the controlled equipment, but also manages production information using various communication functions. In addition to I/O connection, IAI's robot controllers support serial communication with the. OMRON Mitsubishi Electric KEYENCE

3 Outstanding Compatibility with FA Peripheral Equipment can readily connect to a variety of FA equipment Vision Sensors Vision sensors acquire images and use pattern matching to inspect and identify workpieces on a production line. In addition, a vision sensor is required for "conveyor tracking", in which you can pick up a workpiece moving on a conveyor without stopping it. IAI's robot controllers can be connected directly to vision sensors without having to connect to the, making communication effortless. OMRON Cognex KEYENCE Open Networks Today, various field networks are available to help connect different types of FA equipment easily. IAI's robot controllers support these open networks extensively.

4 Connecting Touchscreens The touchscreen, which is used to send operational instructions to the devices and to monitor their status, is usually connected via the. But with IAI's robot controllers, you can connect the touchscreens directly. This reduces the amount of programming, and also enables you to use touchscreens with small devices that do not use the. Additionally, you can use the touchscreen as a teaching box by downloading the template screens available from the manufacturer.

5 Connecting Vision Sensors Commonly used to determine if a product is good or bad, vision sensors can be combined with industrial robots to automate inspection processes, as well as for "conveyor tracking (optional function)", in which a workpiece in transit is picked up and transferred without stopping the conveyor. In general, information from the vision sensor is sent to the first, and then the instructions are sent from the to the robot. However, with IAI's robot controllers, the following vision sensors can be connected directly. Conventional Connection with a Vision Sensor Direct Connection with a Vision Sensor Camera Image Camera Image Benefits of Direct Connection Improves remote speed Simplifies ladder programming Conveyor Tracking Examples: Visual Tracking Mode The workpiece is transferred by using the camera and the encoder to recognize the X, Y, and Z axes. X-SEL PX/QX Type There are two modes of conveyor tracking: "Visual tracking mode" uses a vision sensor, and "work sensor tracking mode" uses a sensor. Work Sensor Tracking Mode The workpiece is transferred by using the sensor and the encoder to recognize the Y axis (X and Z axes are fixed).

6 Connecting Normally, a robot controller and the are connected via parallel I/O. If the is equipped with a serial port (RS-232C or RS-422/485), serial communication with the robot controller is possible. However, it also requires you to create a communications protocol in ladder language for the to communicate with the robot controller, which can be tremendously time-consuming. In contrast, serial communication can be easily established between IAI's robot controllers and the s listed below, without having to create a communication program. You can change the position data of the robot controller, or get the current coordinates of the robot, all from the side.
