Summary

3. Differentiated value proposition Compact controller
Renowned for its outstanding performance and quality, the IRC5C from ABB is now up to 25% smaller
Compact and easy to integrate
Saves space
One phase 220/230 V
Built-in 16 inputs & 16 outputs
A fully fledged member of IRC5 family
All the benefits of the #1 robot controller
No need to re-train
Many common spare parts
So, what does the Compact have to offer? Well, the name actually says it all – the IRC5 Compact is a truly compact controller.
The same user experience, regardless if the robot carries 3 or 500 kg! This means that
the superior motion performance (same as with other controller variants)
the FlexPendant HMI
the off-line support through RobotStudio
the RAPID language
the connectivity over field busses and network etc
– they are all there for you!
To conclude, a full blown IRC5 controller in a truly compact format.
