simulated Analogue Signals

Hi

How many analogue signals can the IRC5 controller have?

FYI. I am trying to help a customer that requires 12 analogue inputs that could contain values up to 2000, this value will represent mm's from the robot via a part sensor Smart component.

I understand that the mapping will directly influence the maximum number I can receive, so 0-12 would be ok to receive +/- numbers up to 2048.

Many thanks

Hi!

The I/O signal has the following limitations:
• Maximum 2200 user I/O signals can be defined in the robot system.
The maximum number of logical signals is 1024 in total for all installed field buses (inputs or outputs, group I/O, analog and digital).
• Maximum 512 digital input signals can be defined on one (1) I/O unit.
• Maximum 512 digital output signals can be defined on one (1) I/O unit.

A maximum of 20 I/O units (nodes) may be connected to each field bus and a maximum of 40 units (nodes) may be connected in the system totally.
