Feedback Type
Description
Position-Pressure
Used for controlling both position and pressure with one
actuator. Typically used with hydraulic cylinders.
Position-Force
Used for controlling both position and force with one actuator.
Typically used with hydraulic cylinders.
Position-Acceleration Used for advanced control such as active damping, which
provides precision control of difficult systems, such as pneumatic
systems.
Velocity-Pressure
Used for controlling both velocity and pressure with one
actuator.
Velocity-Force
Used for controlling both velocity and force with one
actuator.
Velocity-Acceleration Used for advanced control applications.
Defining Axes
The user has full control over how the inputs and outputs on the Axis Module and the
inputs on the Expansion Modules are assigned to axes.
See the Defining Axes topic for details on assigning axes to the hardware.
Other Axis Types
In addition to the axis types listed above, further distinction can be made between axes:

3.3.2. Defining Axes
The RMC70 is a 1- or 2-axis motion controller with possible additional reference axes, with a
maximum of 4 axes. The RMC150 can have up to 8 control axes and additional reference axes
with a maximum of 16 axes. The user can create axes, define the axis type, and define which
physical hardware is assigned to each axis. For details on the axis types supported by the
RMC, see the Axis Types Overview topic.
Changing the Axis Definitions
When the RMC powers up for the first time, it will create default axes. You may need to
change the axis definitions to fit your application. To change the axis definitions, use the
•
In the Project pane, expand the Axes folder and double-click Axis Definitions.
•
To remove an axis, click the Remove
button. To add a new axis, click New. To
change an existing axis, click Change.
•
To change the axis order, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons. The axes
will adhere to this order throughout the entire RMC. The Axis Tools and Command Tool
will display the axes in this order, and the register addresses and tag names will be
defined by this order.
Note: If the controller contains a Universal I/O module, you must first set up it's channels
prior to defining axes.
You will need to define the following items for each axis:
