* The Allen Bradley 4100-234-RL has been discontinued by the manufacturer, however we specialize in obsolete parts and can likely still supply surplus and/or refurbished replacement 4100-234-RL units instead of migration.
The 4100-234-RL is a Compact Motion Controller from Allen-Bradley. It is part of the IMC S Class microprocessor-based controllers. This motion controller is capable of controlling up to Four (4) axes of closed loop, point-to-point positioning of drive systems. This motion controller is also capable of being set with profiles such as trapezoidal, parabolic, or S-curve as well as velocity, acceleration, and deceleration control. It can also be configured with multi-axis linear, circular, or helical interpolation.
More that 100 are provided which can be used by the user fully customized operation.
The 4100-234-RL is a stand-alone and compact unit which supports up to Four (4) axes. It has a built-in Remote I/O (RIO) adapter for communication with other Allen-Bradley RIO capable devices such as a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). It is also equipped with AxisLink Multi-Axis Synchronization link.
The 4100-234-RL microprocessor is an Intel 80960SB @ 16 MHz. It has an application storage that is 32 KB Write-lockable battery-backed Random-Access Memory (RAM) used for application and configuration of parameter values. Additionally, it also has a Write-lockable battery-backed Random Access Memory (RAM) data storage that is used for storing cam table and default user variable values. The 4100-234-RL is powered by an external supply voltage of 90 – 132 or 175 – 264 Volts AC, with frequency of 47 – 63 Hz while the I/O input power requires 5 – 40 Volts DC, 24 Volts DC nominal, 3 Amperes maximum.
Program applications and user default setting is done using the Graphic Motion Controller Language, and the programmed applications and user parameters are downloaded to the write-protected battery-backed internal storage memory via the unique RS-232C and RS-422 serial ports. It uses an AC and I/O power supply with 90-132V AC at 47-63HZ and 3A current, and 5-40V DC, 3A current. Connecting the 4100-234-RL to the flex I/O modules provide extended discrete I/O input and output features, like the 20 isolated dedicated discrete inputs, and the 8 optically-isolated, solid state open relay outputs. It has a functional temperature limit of -40 deg. Celsius -70 deg. Celsius and a maximum relative humidity range of 5-95% non-condensing.
