The RTEX positioning units support Minas A4N network servo drives. A mutually optimized system consisting of PLC and servo

drive greatly simplifies installation.

Maximum number of control axes: 16 axes. Realization of highly accurate 2-axis circular interpolation, 3-axis linear



interpolation and 3-axis spiral interpolation with high-speed 100Mbps communication.

With 3 types in the product range, for 2 axes, 4 axes and 8 axes, provides flexible support even for control of small



numbers of axes.

By using loop wiring Realtime Express* provides high reliability by creating smooth communication conditions with



the data flow always in the same direction.
