Overview

The GateWayR unit is a slave station with gateway function for connecting ROBO Cylinders to a field network of a host PLC
and operating the connected ROBO Cylinders.
The GateWayR unit is available in four types to support field networks of CC-Link, DeviceNet, PROFIBUS and RS485 SIO
communication types.
A total of up to 16 axes can be connected by combining dedicated ROBONET controller units (RACON/RPCON) and
non-ROBONET controller units (SCON, PCON-CF, ERC2), and each axis can be monitored in the AUTO mode (only when
the touch panel display RCM-PM-01 is connected).
