ACON-CB / DCON-CB Controller (Position Controller for RCA/RCA2)
The ACON-CB / DCON-CB controller is a position controller for RCA/RCA2 systems, supporting multiple field network types and offering features such as maintenance timing calculation, calendar-based alarm timestamps, and (for ACON-CB only) offboard tuning and battery-less absolute encoder support.

Troubleshooting (Source-Grounded)
- Maintenance timing / lubrication schedule: Use the Traveled Distance Calculation function. The controller calculates and records total actuator distance, outputs a signal to the PLC when the preset maintenance/inspection timing (number of operations or distance traveled) is reached—so you can add grease and perform the next inspection before problems occur.
- Predictive maintenance (prevent overload stops): If guide/ball screw sliding resistance increases due to insufficient grease, motor current gradually increases until a warning threshold is reached. The device will not stop immediately, but you should inspect/maintain immediately to eliminate the cause and prevent an overload error stop.
- Alarm analysis timing: Use the calendar function to retain alarm timestamps (clock-based recording of alarms/events with timestamps) to help analyze trouble causes after they occur.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
- Does the ACON-CB support a battery-less absolute encoder?
- Yes. The source states ACON-CB only is compatible with a battery-less absolute encoder; position data is retained without a battery.
- Which field networks are supported by the ACON-CB / DCON-CB controller?
- The source lists DeviceNet, CC-Link, CC-Link IE Field, PROFIBUS-DP, PROFINET IO, CompoNet, MECHATROLINK, EtherCAT, and EtherNet/IP as compatible field network options.
- What maintenance-related functions are included?
- The source describes a Traveled Distance Calculation function that records total distance and outputs a signal to the PLC when preset maintenance/inspection timing is exceeded, and it also describes predictive maintenance that warns before an overload error occurs.
- Does the controller record alarm timestamps?
- Yes. The source states the built-in calendar (clock) function records alarms and other events with timestamps to help analyze causes.
- What is the offboard tuning function and is it available for both controllers?
- Offboard tuning is equipped for ACON-CB only; it supports off-board tuning to set gain based on transport load (optical setting described in the source).
