Whether you want the flexibility of open system design, the scalability of modular system integration or the certainty of security and safety—you get it all with the iCube Control platform. With one controller, built to perform impeccably over the life of your system.

Yaskawa machine control background

iCube Control is the adaptable, powerful platform that adapts to your personal needs, working methods and ideas. It combines these four separate systems into one:

MACHINE CONTROL

EtherCAT master for all motion control and logic functions.
Program using IEC61131-3 or other high-level languages.

MACHINE SAFETY

Integrated FailSafe over EtherCAT master meeting SIL3 requirements. Program machine control and safety in a single software engineering tool.

ROBOTICS

The Singular Control architecture allows for programming of articulated robots and standard mechanisms with the same PLCopen function blocks.

HMI

Integrated HMI deveopment for HMI applications running with remote panels via OPC UA or running locally on the controller via a web server.
