Product Introduction

R4D — Versatile and Customizable

As iNexBot's new-generation multifunctional EtherCAT IO, the R4D covers most of the external interfaces users need, including 16-in/16-out digital signal interfaces and 2-in/2-out analog signal interfaces, while retaining two customizable function expansion interfaces that can be used as CAN and encoder signal interfaces. No additional modules need to be configured, saving customers money. Other EtherCAT modules can be added to meet custom requirements.

Product Advantages

Multifunctional

Integrated digital and analog IO eliminates the cost of purchasing additional analog IO modules. The digital outputs include 4 relay outputs and 8 MOS-FET outputs, which can be selected as needed.

PWM Interface Added

The R4D adds a PWM interface that enables functions such as outputting different voltages, allowing more interaction with external devices.

Specifications: 2 outputs, single-ended, duty cycle adjustable from 0-100%, 5 V or 24 V output voltage, frequency up to 2 MHz.

Customizable

Two built-in customizable interfaces can be used as encoder and CAN signal interfaces. No additional signal modules need to be purchased, saving factory deployment costs.

Expandable

Other EtherCAT modules can be freely added. If the built-in IO interfaces are insufficient, additional R4 or R2 IO modules can be added. Paired with the NRC series control system, up to 4 IO modules can be supported, meeting the vast majority of factory requirements.

Reliable Quality

Built with carefully selected high-quality electronic components and validated through EMC, temperature/humidity, ESD, and other tests to ensure stable operation.
