Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the integration of custom-built robots into existing systems using the MRC01 robot controller. The MRC01 facilitates easy connection via EtherNet/IP™ and supports RS-485 communication, allowing for seamless integration without major system changes.

Specifications
The MRC01 operates with a 24 VDC power supply and supports up to 6 control axes. It features EtherNet/IP for network communication and RS-485 for driver communication. The controller is compatible with AZ Series drivers and actuators, supporting various robot models including horizontal and vertical multi-joint robots.

Programming and Setup
The MRC01 uses MRC Studio software for programming, which simplifies the setup process through a step-by-step wizard. This software allows users to select robot types, input dimensions, and program operations using a simple command selection format. A 3D simulator is available for operation checking.

Product Line and Accessories
The document lists various cables and connectors compatible with the MRC01, including RS-485 communication cables and I/O signal cables. It also provides details on the dimensions and specifications of these accessories.

Performance and Cycle Time
The standard cycle time for a 1 kg load is 1.86 seconds for a 25 mm vertical and 300 mm horizontal motion. Positioning time varies with load mass and positioning distance.

Environmental and General Specifications
The MRC01 is designed to operate in environments with temperatures ranging from 0 to +55˚C and humidity below 85%. It should not be exposed to corrosive gases, dust, water, or oil.

Conclusion
The MRC01 robot controller offers a flexible and user-friendly solution for integrating custom-built robots into existing systems, with comprehensive support for programming and operation through MRC Studio software.
