C.2.1 Configuration Word
Default: 0x0000
This 16-bit word controls the configuration of the module. Bit 0 is the LSB; bit 15 is the MSB.

Bits 7, 12-15 - Transducer Type bits
These bits are used differently depending on the transducer type used. Refer to one of the
following topics for details on these four bits:
• Analog Transducer bits
• Magnetostrictive Displacement Transducer (MDT) bits
• Quadrature/Stepper Transducer bits
• Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) bits
• Resolver Transducer Bits
Bit 11 - Pressure Assign bit
This bit is used only if the RMC has one or more auxiliary pressure or force channels. If such
channels are installed, then this bit can be set to indicate that this position axis has an assigned
pressure axis. Bits 8 and 9 are used to define the pressure axis assigned.
Bit 10 - Auto Home Re-arm
This bit is for Quadrature axes only. When it is set, the axis will automatically be re-armed after
homing. This requires the axis to first be armed using the Arm Home Command. If this bit is
cleared after homing, the axis will still be armed. See the Homing a Quadrature Axis topic for
details.
Bits 8 - 9 - Pressure Axis Select bits
These bits are used only if the RMC has one or more auxiliary pressure or force channels and bit
11 is set to indicate that this axis has one of the pressure or force channels assigned to it. These
bits then select between up to four auxiliary pressure/force channels:
Bit
9
Bit
8
0 0 The first auxiliary pressure/force axis is
assigned.
0 1 The second auxiliary pressure/force axis is
assigned.
1 0 The third auxiliary pressure/force axis is
assigned.
