Note5
Note 1. The RCX240S controller is limited to use with robots that handles 200W or lower on each axis. Check the following controller selection table to nd the matching model.
Note 2. The regenerative unit (option) is required when operating a model designated by YAMAHA or a load with a large inertia. Please refer to the following regenerative unit selection table.
Note 3. YK550X / YK500XG to YK1000XG are for RGU-3.
Note 4. Use N to N4 when NPN is selected on the I/O board, and P to P4 when PNP is selected.
Note 5. Available only for the master.
Note 6. Uses no-battery specications if connecting to all axis - linear motor.
Note 7. If any or Single-axis among the XY axes are absolute specications then 2 batteries are required.
Note 8. If any or Single-axis among the ZR axes are absolute specications then 2 batteries are required.

Controller model selection table
The RCX240S controller is limited to use with robots that handles 200W or lower on each axis and is partly modied such as for optimizing the IPM, but it is
fully compatible with RCX240 operation and functions, and peripheral equipment can be used by both models.

Multi-robot: Driver list for each model
For “multi-robots” that are used in combination with one or more single-axis robots, the RCX240S can be used unless the divers for the combined models
include a 20A model.
