Delta RMC151 - Manual (Page 278)

RMC70/150 and RMCTools User Manual
The Options dialog contains various RMCTools settings. These settings apply to RMCTools, and
are not saved to the project file or the RMC controller. The Options dialog contains the
following sections:
Environment Page
Startup
Choose what happens when RMCTools starts up.
Address Format
This applies to windows that show register addresses, such as the Axis Tools, Indirect Data
Map Editor, and Variable Table Editor. This only affects how the register addresses are
displayed.
If you are using a PLC or HMI to communicate with the RMC, setting this to the addressing
method you are using makes it easy to find addresses for registers in the RMC. You can
also set the address format by right-clicking any Register cell in RMCTools and choosing
Address Format.
Output Window
Check this box to automatically close the Output window after a successful Upload All or
Download All, unless it was previously open.
Programming Page
Program Timing
When RMCTools verifies the Programming, it displays the results in the Verify Results
window. This option specifies how much detail is shown in the Verify Results window. For
more details, see the Program Capacity and Time Usage topic.
Verify Results
Check this box to automatically close the Verify Results window after a successful verify,
unless it was previously open.
Step Editor
Select whether to show the tag browser when editing expression in the expression editor.
Communications Page
Communication Log
Choose how much information is saved in the Communication Log. This option should only
be changed when directed by Delta technical support.
Firmware Update
Specify the communication rate at which the firmware download to the RMC75S and
RMC75P occurs. Higher baud rates will mean quicker firmware updates. The default baud
rate is 115200, and should be supported by most PCs. If you have trouble with this baud
rate, you should try selecting 38400. Baud rates above 115200 are generally only
supported on specialized serial ports.
USB/Serial Timeouts
This section specifies the timeouts used for DF1 communciation via the RMC75P monitor
port, the RMC75S monitor port and comm port, and the RMC75E USB monitor port. The
timeouts can be adjusted to accommodate a poor serial connection.
Ethernet Timeouts
If you are connected to the RMC via Ethernet and are experiencing lost connections, you
can adjust the Ethernet timeouts to accommodate the unreliable connection. Several
preset profiles are available, or you can choose custom to set your own timeouts:
• Default: This setting works for most LANs (Local Area Networks) and Internet
connections.
• LAN: This setting is optimized for LAN connections.
