Press Release

RMC100 Synchronous Serial Interface module from Delta Computer Systems provides higher noise immunity, fast absolute positioning, and allows mixing & matching from two to eight axes of any combination of transducer

Delta Computer Systems' Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) module, for the RMC100 motion controllers, provides increased noise immunity and less data corruption, higher resolution and absolute positioning, with modular flexibility for two to eight motion axes with any combination of SSI transducers.

Intended for precise, coordinated servo positioning applications, the SSI module's interface allows use of a wide variety of feedback devices using the SSI standard. Many types of magnetostrictive displacement transducers (MDTs) can be used, including those with resolutions to 2mm (micron) or 0.00008 inches, as well as absolute rotary encoders and laser measuring devices. Manufacturers of transducers with SSI interfaces include:

Balluff, Inc.
Baumer Electric, Ltd.
Heidenhain Corporation
MTS Systems Corporation - Sensors Division (Temposonics)
Stegmann, Inc.
TR Encoder Solutions, Inc.

With the addition of the the SSI module, RMC100 motion controllers now support mixing and matching of SSI devices along with standard MDTs, quadrature encoders, and analog transducers, from two to eight axes of synchronized position, velocity, or force control for ready-made solutions to today's demanding automation needs.

In addition, multiple communications options, including Discrete I/O, Ethernet, PROFIBUS, Modbus Plus, and Serial RS-232/422/485 allow the RMC to be used with any PLC (programmable logic controller) or computer. -more- Page -2- Delta Computer Systems - SSI motion controller
