6‑ and 9‑Axis Industrial Motor Control with Ethernet

Renesas offers a comprehensive system for 6- and 9-axis motor control, featuring high-performance MPUs, power supply ICs, a delta-sigma (ΔΣ) modulator, and supporting components. These systems are well-suited for applications in robotics, motion controllers, and industrial networks.

System Benefits:

• The system integrates the MPU with peripheral devices, minimizing the need for external components.
• The MPU's dual Arm^® Cortex^®-R52 cores enable high-precision motor control and facilitate industrial Ethernet communication.
• It provides high-precision current sensing through the MPU's delta-sigma (ΔΣ) interface and ΔΣ modulator and supports various encoder types with an MPU encoder interface and RS-485 connectivity.
• The MPU's quad Arm Cortex-A55 cores perform advanced arithmetic processing, including trajectory formation for 9-axis motor control.
• Powered by quad Arm Cortex‑A55 cores, these MPUs enable sophisticated motion planning and trajectory generation. The RZ/N2H-based system is optimized for applications requiring up to 6 controlled axes, while the RZ/T2H-based system extends this capability to 9 axes, supporting more complex, highly articulated machines.
• The system supports major industrial Ethernet protocols, such as EtherCAT^®, Ethernet/IP^™, PROFINET^®, and OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA), with a simple configuration requiring minimal external components.
• A functional safety system can be easily built using the MPU and one MCU for mutual monitoring.
• Renesas provides reference circuits and a variety of sample programs to assist in implementation.
