RMC100 Communication Options
RMC100 Fieldbus Communication Options
The RMC100 controller can be configured with one of five different communication modules supporting more than 25 protocols. The fieldbus-based communication modules are not just for motion data acquisition—they support full motion control via the host system.
RMC100 motion controllers also have an RS232 serial port for use with Delta’s RMCWin setup, tuning and diagnostics package.
The RMC150 controller has built-in Ethernet on the RMC150E CPU and can be configured with a DI/O module in the leftmost slot.
RMC150 controllers have a USB port for use with Delta’s RMCTools software.
Communication Modules
| Module | RMC100 | RMC150 | Protocols and Modes | Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| -ENET |  |
* |
Ethernet EtherNet/IP, CSP, Modbus/TCP, CAMP, ISO-on-TPC, FINS, HEI, PROFINET (RMC150 only) |
10Mb, non-deterministic, high data transfer. Update times vary. |
| -PROFI | |
|
PROFIBUS DP Message Mode or Compact Modes |
9.6kb to 12Mb, deterministic, high data transfer with Message mode. |
| -MB+ | |
Modbus Plus with or without Global Data |
1Mb, deterministic. Flexibility allows high data transfer. | |
| -SERIAL | |
Serial RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 A-B DF1, Modbus/RTU, Mitsubishi No Protocol Mode. Consult Delta for others. |
9.6kb to 115.2kb data transfer. Update times vary. | |
| -UI/O | |
Universal I/O Two Analog Inputs, 6 Discrete I/O, 2 Quadrature/SSI Channels with Inter-Controller Communication |
High-speed transfer of a very limited number of data items for synchronization of axes between controllers. | |
| -DI/O | |
|
Discrete I/O Command Mode, Input to Event, Parallel Event, Parallel Position |
Low data transfer. Events can be triggered quickly. |
* The RMC150E CPU has 10/100 Ethernet bulit into the CPU module.
LCD Display and Keypad (RMC100 only)
For applications that require operator data entry and machine status display, the LCD420 for the RMC100/101 CPU is an easy-to-use option, ideal for simple operator panels. See the LCD420 for details.
