Overview

The GRC2 M300-I series performs real-time robot control, supports several standard robots, and provides an EtherCAT port for connecting to EtherCAT slaves such as servo drives and I/O modules.

It is integrated with the powerful configuration tool NexMotion Studio, which allows users to configure EtherCAT topology, devices, robot parameters, extended axis control, and additional I/O devices. The series also includes NexTPUI, an HMI for teach pendants that enables easy robot operation.

For Industry 4.0 applications, the GRC2 series serves as a general-purpose robot controller that supports standard EtherCAT communication. With its powerful software, it can flexibly configure any number of robot control axes and joint modules, while also expanding to external modules. This meets the demands of diverse application environments and provides a high degree of flexibility for integration and customization.
