CS8C user inputs/outputs

What inputs/outputs are available with the CS8C controller ?


The CS8C controller offers the following user inputs/outputs:
- Two digital inputs (on each controller with its RSI board)
- Two fast digital inputs, one fast digital output (on each controller with its RSI board)
- Two optional boards of 16 digital inputs, 16 digital outputs (BIO boards)
- Three optional boards of two encoder inputs (for incremental encoder with 5V differential A, B, Z signals),
and two fast digital inputs (with Starc2 board)
- One optional fieldbus board (a second board can be installed as spare part; supported fieldbus are:
Profibus, DeviceNet, CANOpen, Modbus TCP client)
- One Ethernet Modbus digital and analog inputs/outputs port (standard protocol using the standard Ethernet
network)
- Up to 40 simultaneous Ethernet socket connections (in client or server mode, on two different Ethernet
networks)
- Two serial ports (one is used by the system during the boot sequence, and can be used by user application
afterwards)
- File exchange on flash disk, USB device or FTP on Ethernet network.

Other inputs / outputs are available with the arm.

Accurate measures with fast inputs


The fast inputs can be used to measure with a very high accuracy the position of the arm or of an external
device with the latching mechanism: the position is measured by the Starc board when a signal is raised on
the fast input; the software can later read the measured position and use it.
- The two fast inputs of the RSI board can be used to latch the joint position of the arm. The latch accuracy is
of 0.2ms.
- Each fast input on the optional Starc encoder boards can be used to latch the encoder position. The latch
accuracy is of 0.12ms.

The latching of encoder position is typically used to measure accurately the position of a part on a conveyor
(conveyor tracking); the latching of the arm position is usefull for measuring process (to know the arm
position for each picture of a fast camera) or dynamic calibration process (using for instance laser signals).
