ACON-CB / DCON-CB Controller (Position Controller for RCA/RCA2)

The ACON-CB / DCON-CB controller is a position controller for RCA/RCA2 systems, supporting multiple field network types and offering features such as maintenance timing calculation, calendar-based alarm timestamps, and (for ACON-CB only) offboard tuning and battery-less absolute encoder support.

Troubleshooting (Source-Grounded)

  • Maintenance timing / lubrication schedule: Use the Traveled Distance Calculation function. The controller calculates and records total actuator distance, outputs a signal to the PLC when the preset maintenance/inspection timing (number of operations or distance traveled) is reached—so you can add grease and perform the next inspection before problems occur.
  • Predictive maintenance (prevent overload stops): If guide/ball screw sliding resistance increases due to insufficient grease, motor current gradually increases until a warning threshold is reached. The device will not stop immediately, but you should inspect/maintain immediately to eliminate the cause and prevent an overload error stop.
  • Alarm analysis timing: Use the calendar function to retain alarm timestamps (clock-based recording of alarms/events with timestamps) to help analyze trouble causes after they occur.

Câu hỏi thường gặp

Does the ACON-CB support a battery-less absolute encoder?
Yes. The source states ACON-CB only is compatible with a battery-less absolute encoder; position data is retained without a battery.
Which field networks are supported by the ACON-CB / DCON-CB controller?
The source lists DeviceNet, CC-Link, CC-Link IE Field, PROFIBUS-DP, PROFINET IO, CompoNet, MECHATROLINK, EtherCAT, and EtherNet/IP as compatible field network options.
What maintenance-related functions are included?
The source describes a Traveled Distance Calculation function that records total distance and outputs a signal to the PLC when preset maintenance/inspection timing is exceeded, and it also describes predictive maintenance that warns before an overload error occurs.
Does the controller record alarm timestamps?
Yes. The source states the built-in calendar (clock) function records alarms and other events with timestamps to help analyze causes.
What is the offboard tuning function and is it available for both controllers?
Offboard tuning is equipped for ACON-CB only; it supports off-board tuning to set gain based on transport load (optical setting described in the source).
