3.4.14 Using Multiple RMCs
RMCWin can keep track of several RMCs. The following pieces of information are associated
with each RMC:
• RMC name (the filename)
• Names of each axis
• Parameters of each axis (configuration word, scale, offset, etc.)
• Command fields for each axis, except the Command itself (Mode through Command Value).
• Plot times for each axis.
• Hardware configuration of the RMC. This includes:
o
List of the physical modules included (e.g. PROFIBUS-DP, RMC100 CPU, two MDTs).
o
List of options for these modules. This includes all settings modified through the RMC
Configuration dialog box (e.g. PROFIBUS station address, MDT blanking periods, number
of SSI data bits, analog board channel assignments).
• Communication path
A board file (.bd1) stores all of the above with the exception of the communication path, which is
remembered for the board file in Windows’ internal Registry. Therefore, different computers can
store different communication paths for the same board file.
See the following related topics:
• Creating a New Board File
• Editing Board File Information
• Changing Between Board Files

3.4.15 File Types
An RMC100 motion control project may use several of the editors available in RMCWin. Several
editors have their own file types in which to save data. This may result in multiple files for each
project.
In order to keep track of the project, it is recommended that all files for a project be kept in the
same directory.
The following file types may be generated by RMCWin:
