RMC150 UI/O

Two Analog Inputs, 6 Discrete I/O, 2 Quadrature/SSI Channels with Inter-Controller Communication

The Universal I/O module for the RMC150 provides two analog inputs, six discrete I/O, and two high-speed channels that can be configured for quadrature inputs, SSI inputs or outputs, or even inter-controller communications for synchronizing axes between RMCs.

Analog Input Features

Two 16-bit analog inputs, ±10V or 4-20mA

Discrete I/O Features

6 I/O, individually configurable as input or output
Inputs: 12 to 24VDC, sinking (requires sourcing driver)
Outputs: Solid state relay, 50mA continuous
Inputs 0 and 1 can be used as high-speed registration inputs in conjunction with the quadrature inputs.

High-Speed Channels

Each of the two RS-422 channels are independently configurable as Quadrature or SSI.

Quadrature Channels

A and B quadrature inputs
Requires 5V differential (RS-422) signals
Discrete inputs 0 and 1 can be used as high-speed registration or homing inputs in conjunction with quadrature inputs 0 and 1, respectively.

SSI Channels

The SSI channels can be configured to do the following tasks:

Receive SSI Input from a Transducer
This is a standard SSI input for obtaining data from an SSI transducer or encoder.
Send Data Out Via SSI (Slave)
The SSI channel behaves as a transducer or encoder and will return data to the requesting master.
Synchronize Multiple RMCs to One Transducer
The SSI channel can monitor the data that another RMC is receiving from an SSI device. This makes it possible to synchronize multiple RMCs to one SSI transducer.
