The DX100 controller is a state-of-the-art control system designed by Yaskawa for managing industrial robots, specifically the Motoman 6-axis robots like the ES165D. The robot MOTOMAN ES165D with the controller DX100 is suitable for the assembly of parts, palletizing, handling of parts, polishing, machining, loading and unloading, and press tending.  Below are the main characteristics and features of the DX100 controller:

1. Multirobot control system: The DX100 controller allows for the coordination and control of up to 8 robots, with a total of 72 coordinated movement axes. This feature enables the creation of complex and synchronized automated cells with multiple robots working together.
2. Robust PC architecture: The controller is built on a robust PC architecture, providing powerful system-level control for robotic work cells. This ensures efficient and reliable operation of the robots.
3. Optimized interior space: The connections on the back of the control cabinet are designed to optimize the interior space, making the setup compact and efficient.
4. Built-in ladder logic processing: The DX100 controller has built-in ladder logic processing capabilities, allowing for the implementation of logic and decision-making functions directly within the controller.
5. Extensive I/O addresses: The controller offers 4,096 I/O addresses, allowing for seamless integration with various external devices and peripherals.
6. Fieldbus network connections: The DX100 supports a variety of fieldbus network connections, facilitating communication with other devices and systems in the manufacturing environment.
7. High-speed server connection: The controller is equipped with a high-speed server connection, enabling fast data transfer and communication between the robot and other connected devices.
8. HMI display on the pendant: The controller features I/F (Interface) panels, which display the Human Machine Interface (HMI) directly on the programming pendant. This makes it convenient for the user to interact with the system and monitor its status.
9. Advanced Robot Motion Control (ARM): The DX100 controller incorporates Advanced Robot Motion Control technology, which enhances productivity and reduces the learning curve for operating the robot.
10. Energy-saving capabilities: The controller is designed to save energy, with potential energy savings of up to 25% compared to previous models.
11. MTTR (Mean Time to Repair): The controller’s design and features aim to minimize Mean Time to Repair, ensuring that any issues can be resolved quickly to reduce downtime.
12. Easy maintenance: The DX100 controller facilitates easy maintenance with various features like the ability to check the status of the reducer, hardware diagnostics, improved problem resolution, and alarm recovery functions.
13. Memory backup: The controller has a Compact Flash slot and a USB port, making it easy to perform memory backups for data and programming.
14. Windows® CE programming pendant: The programming pendant for the DX100 controller is small and lightweight, running on Windows® CE. It includes a color touch screen with multi-window display capability, providing a user-friendly interface for programming and controlling the robot.
