Note:
Linear magnetostrictive SSI transducers must be of the synchronized type. This ensures that
the time between position samples matches the control loop time of the RMC. If the
transducer is not synchronized, the sample time may not match and make precise speed
control difficult.
Blanking Period (For Neuter Outputs)
The RMC70 blanking period is set to 5µsec. Some older transducers, such as Temposonics
I and II with neuter outputs, are not compatible with the RMC70 due to the short
blanking period. They are compatible with the RMC150. For more details, see the MDT
Fundamentals and MDT Blanking Period topics.
