Motoman DXM100 Controller

The com­pact Motoman DXM100 robot con­troller is a full-fea­tured con­troller in a much small­er cab­i­net. Ide­al for stack­ing or place­ment under con­vey­ors, the DXM100 is often used in appli­ca­tions that involve small pay­load mate­r­i­al han­dling or pal­letiz­ing. It offers all of the same fea­tures that the full-sized DX100 con­troller offers in a small­er package.

Up to eight robots can be con­trolled through the small, light­weight DXM100 teach pen­dant. This pen­dant fea­tures a Win­dows CE inter­face and col­or screen, all of the con­trol but­tons, and a unique cross-shaped nav­i­ga­tion cur­sor which helps to reduce teach­ing time and improve productivity.

The DXM100 also includes high-speed pro­cess­ing, INFORM III pro­gram­ming, and four lev­els of pass­word pro­tec­tion. All oper­a­tor con­trols are locat­ed on the pen­dant, allow­ing for the remote mount­ing of the con­trol cab­i­net. This con­troller elim­i­nates the need for a sep­a­rate PLC, HMI, and pass­word pro­tec­tion hard­ware, cre­at­ing a sig­nif­i­cant sav­ings at the sys­tem lev­el. For even more pro­tec­tion, there is a main­te­nance with reduc­er sta­tus check func­tion to help enhance trou­ble shoot­ing and alarm recovery. 

Also worth check­ing out is a new and pow­er­ful con­troller that Motoman has recent­ly released, the DX200.
