Starting the RMC100 Controller
1. Connect power to the RMC100 controller.
Note: The RMC100 controller requires 24 VDC at various current levels up to 750
mA, depending on the communication and transducer interface modules used.
2. Connect the PC to the RMC100 controller using one of the following two
methods.
• Connect a standard null-modem DB-9 RS-232 serial cable from the PC to
the RMC100 controller.
− If the serial port is configured correctly, the Offline message in the
lower right corner of the RMCWin status bar will change to Online
and a pop-up message window will indicate that RMCWin can
communicate with the RMC100 controller.
− If the display indicates Offline and an RMC100 controller is connected
and has power, try changing the serial port by double-clicking on
COM in the lower right corner of the RMCWin status bar. The
