The Oriental Motor MRCU Integrated Robot Controller & Drivers simplifies robotic system design by combining the robot controller and motor drivers into a single compact platform. Instead of configuring separate motion controllers and driver electronics, the MRCU architecture centralizes motion control, communication, and motor management in one streamlined solution.
Designed for industrial robotic applications such as pick-and-place systems, assembly automation, inspection equipment, and material handling, the MRCU reduces wiring complexity and setup time while improving system reliability.
With integrated control for multiple robot axes and compatibility with EtherNet/IP™ industrial networks, the system allows engineers to deploy robots faster while maintaining precise, coordinated motion.
Valin supports manufacturers and system integrators with application expertise, configuration support, and motion automation solutions to help implement the MRCU platform in demanding automation environments.
Features
Key Features & Advantages
Controller and Drivers in a Single Package
The robot controller MRC01 and AZ Series mini driver (3 to 8 axes) are in a single package. This eliminates the need for wiring between the controller and drivers and between drivers. It is also compact, which contributes to space savings.
- Program the robot using the programming software MRC Studio (download for free)
- Control via EtherNet/IP or I/O
- Power Supply: 24 VDC/48 VDC
Easy Setup Quickly
Small robots OVR can help reduce setup time because dimensional data, such as arm length, is already registered.
Say Goodbye to Ladder Logic! Operation Programming with Item Selection
Program creation uses a simple command selection format. Programs can be created intuitively, without requiring specialized knowledge such as ladder diagrams. The system supports a range of advanced motion control operations, including P-to-P, linear interpolation, circular interpolation, and arc motion, among others. Operating data is executed directly from a host controller via EtherNet/IP
Configuration of a Robot Vision System Using 2D Cameras
The robot controller is equipped with useful functions for operating the robot using load position and angle information acquired by the camera.
In order to integrate the 2D camera, MRC Studio is used to perform the calibration* in advance. The settings can be easily configured by simply following the on-screen instructions while looking at the illustrations, allowing for a reduction in the work hours necessary for correction.
