Chapter 6 Extension unit
6.1 Overview
Basically, a ROBONET system is used by installing a Gateway R unit in the far left position and arranging RPCON and/or
RACON controller units along a single line to its right. However, the controllers may not be arranged in a single line due to
physical limitations such as the width of the control panel. In this case, you can use extension units (optional) to arrange the
controllers in multiple lines (= multi-stage layout).
Also note what while the RPCON and RACON are specified as the standard controller units that can be used in ROBONET
systems, you can use extension units to also configure a ROBONET system combining SCON (positioner mode), PCON-CF
and/or ERC2 controller units (= external SIO link).
