RMC100 DatasheetsRMC100 MDT
Magnetostrictive Displacement Transducer (MDT)
The RMC100 MDT interface module allows the use of MDTs as high-resolution linear position feedback devices with the RMC100 series of high-performance motion controllers. These absolute-position transducers are especially well suited for hydraulic applications because of their non-contact design, robustness, modularity, and resistance to contaminants.
RMC100 MDT modules support Start/Stop and Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) transducers. The RMC100 can be configured to trigger from the rising or falling edges on Start/Stop transducers. MDTs with SSI output are supported by the RMC100 SSI module.
Features
- Two axes of MDT feedback per module
- Up to 0.001" resolution using Start/Stop transducers with one circulation
- Up to 0.0001" resolution using PWM transducers with multiple recirculations
- Transducer length up to 220 inches (0.004" resolution)
- Differential (recommended) or single-ended interface
- Support for multi-magnet transducers in development
- Two isolated, ±10V, 12-bit drive outputs per module
Current output up to ±200mA is available with the VC2100 or VC2124 converter option (see Motion Control Accessories).
