The following general steps must be taken to set up a system using Parallel Position mode:
1. Design the System
Designing the system begins with selecting the appropriate method of communication. First,
decide whether one of the RMCs field bus solutions fits your application, and if you decide to use
digital I/O, then decide which of the communication modes fits your application.
• If you decide to use digital I/O using Parallel Position mode, then you must design the wiring of
the system and the event step table.
2. Program the Profile Table
Programming the Profile table is described in the RMCWin online help. The profile table holds the
speeds, accelerations, and decelerations used by the moves. Be sure to save your Profile table
both in the RMC Flash memory and on disk from RMCWin.
3. Configure the RMC Communication
The following steps are required to configure the Communication DI/O from RMCWin:
• Connect the serial port to the module being configured.
• On the Tools menu, click Module configuration.
• In the Slots list, select the Communication DI/O item, and then click Slot options.
• In the DI/O mode list, select Parallel Position mode.
• If you need to invert any inputs or outputs to match your hardware, select the appropriate
check boxes in the Invert inputs and Invert outputs areas.
• Click Mode options.
• In the Input Filter box, enter the number of milliseconds you wish to have the RMC wait for
the inputs to settle. You may need to change this more than once if you are not sure how
long you should delay. If you dont need the speed, it may be wise to be conservative and
select 20 ms.
• If you wish to do open loop moves as well as closed, select the Allow open loop select check
