2. Starting Up the RMC
2.1. RMC Startup Procedure
The best resource to start using the RMC is the Startup Guide that was shipped with the
controller. The Startup Guide can also be downloaded from Delta's website at
www.deltamotion.com.
If you do not have a Startup Guide, the following step-by-step procedure will help you get
your system up and running.
TIP:
Deltas position/pressure simulators provide a simple way to test your program before
connecting the controller to a real system.
