7.2.4.4. QA Axis Module

The QA module is one of the axis modules available for the RMC70. It interfaces to Quadrature

encoders (5 V differential only) and has 1 analog servo output per axis. The QA module is

available with either 1 or 2 axes, called the QA1 and the QA2.

Features

One 5 V differential (RS-422) quadrature encoder input per axis

One ±10 V, 16-bit control output per axis

Current output up to ±200 mA with VC2124 converter option

High-speed inputs for Homing or Registration.

Can be used for controlling position. Can also be used for dual-loop control such as

position-pressure when used in conjunction with the AP2 module.

The QA module can be used for rotary axes.

Software-selectable input termination on ±A and ±B

Part Number

The part numbers of the QA modules are QA1 and QA2 for the 1-axis and 2-axis

versions, respectively.
For example, RMC75E-QA1 is an RMC75E with a QA1 module.

Setting Up the QA Module
