The "TED" (TestEvalDevelop) unit is a compact & light weight YRC1000 controller that is powered by a 120V wall outlet but does not physically include a robot arm or external axes. Instead, an arm and external axes can be added virtually and monitored via MotoSim. Existing YRC systems can be "cloned" and loaded onto the TED unit where jobs can be executed, Moto+ applications developed & run, IO can devices can be connected and communicated with, safety devices and be wired and logic developed, a real pendant (Standard or Smart) provides a familiar experience, and a virtual robot can be driven on a LCD screen via MotoSim.
Software developers and controls engineers tend to benefit the most from TED's features as it allows them to develop Moto+ applications, Pendant applications (for either the standard YRC pendant or the SmartPendant), a do interfacing with external devices. The TED module comes with the standard YRC 40 inputs and outputs (NPN), Functional Safety Enabled, and Expanded Safety IO. Ethernet/IP is enabled and al common YRC1000 software features are included with the default configuration. Additional features can be added with the support of Yaskawa Technical or Integrator support teams.
Training departments can use TED as hands-on tool for learning to operate and control a various aspects of a Yaskawa robotic system without risking damage to a physical robot, end-effectors, or personnel safety involved with a physical robot
If you're facility is transitioning from the standard YRC1000 pendant to the SmartPendant, this tool allows you to gain familiarity with the SmartPendant without use of a robot system that's currently in production or the risk of damage physical items within the cell.
