Drive and Transducer Interface Choices
Nine different I/O modules are available for the RMC100 Motion Controllers. Each
motion I/O module handles two axes, and RMC100 controllers can be configured
with one, two, three, or four I/O modules. I/O modules can be “mixed and
matched” for control of as many as eight axes with one motion controller. When
combined with the communication module choices, this I/O module flexibility
results in more than 500 configurations of the RMC100 motion controller available
off-the-shelf. Motion I/O modules are available with analog or stepper drive
outputs and interfaces for a wide variety of position feedback devices. Your choice
of Interface Modules will depend on the required performance and compatibility
match with your feedback devices and physical system.
