Features of the RMC100
The RMC100 contains a host of useful features that will enable you to precisely and
efficiently control any complex motion application. These features include
powerful control options, flexible programming capabilities, effective diagnostic
tools, a diverse set of feedback options, and support for many popular
communication types.
Control Options
Trapezoidal Profile
Closed-loop motion moves made with the RMC100 have a trapezoidal speed
profile, as shown in the following figure.
The axis moves from position A to position B in the following manner:
• Accelerates from zero speed to speed S.
• Moves at a constant speed S.
• Decelerates to zero speed and ends at position B.
The RMC100 allows the user to independently specify the acceleration,
deceleration, and speed portions of the move. This flexibility is a powerful tool for
any motion control application.
Open Loop (Direct Drive Output)
Although the RMC100 is designed for precise closed-loop motion control, it does
have an open-loop mode. In open-loop mode, the user specifies the amount of drive,
and the RMC100 outputs that amount. The RMC100 automatically reverts to the
open-loop state after certain faults.
Open loop is useful for jogging the axis under manual control and determining
whether the system is working correctly after initial setup.
