Note 1. Driver selection and regenerative unit selection depends on the robot type.
See Specication selection table on following page.
Note 2. The regenerative unit (option) is required when operating a model designated by YAMAHA or a
load with a large inertia.
Note 3. NPN and Ethernet are not selectable if using CE marking.
Note 4. Available only for the master.
Note 5. Only when you have selected CC, DN or PB for Input/Output selection 1, you can select EN for
Input/Output selection 2.

Robot controller with advanced functions
RCX222
RCX221
1 Compact
Lightweight and compact design with main unit weight
of 2.8kg and height of 210mm.
2 Same price as predecessor “DRCX”
Delivers high-performance along with sophisticated
functions yet is the same price as the prior DRCX.
3 The absolute position data
hold time: 1 year
The current position information is monitored even
during a long vacation, while the controller is kept
unused and while it is transported so that the return to
the origin process is not required when the controller is
activated again. (RCX222 / RCX222HP)
4 Simultaneous control of PHASER
and FLIP-X
Offers mixed control of linear motor single-axis robot
PHASER series, along with 200 VAC motor single-axis
robot FLIP-X series. (RCX221/RCX221HP)
5 Anti-collision control function
Internal function in controller acts to prevent carriage
collisions when using double carriages.
6 Applicable to various peripheral
equipments
Freely select I/O boards as needed.
Supports parallel I/O (NPN/PNP), CC-Link, DeviceNet,
Probus, and Ethernet.
7 Capable of using additional function
of “YC-Link” for additional axis
Linking the RCX series controller with the SR1 series
single-axis controller allows controlling a maximum of 8
axes (synchronous control of 6 axes).
