RMC70 MA Axis Module
MDT or SSI Inputs,
Analog Control Output (± 10V)
The MA1 and MA2 Axis modules generate ± 10V analog control outputs and interface to
position feedback transducers with the following characteristics:
- Magnetostrictive Displacement Transducer (MDT):
RS-422 Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) or Start/Stop, with programmable edge response - Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI):
MDT or single- or multi-turn absolute encoders with the SSI interface. MDT transducers with SSI output must be of the synchronized type. Make sure to specify synchronized SSI when ordering from your supplier.
The MA1 and MA2 Axis modules control one and two axes respectively. Each axis has a 16- bit, ±10V analog Control Output, an isolated 12-24VDC discrete Fault Input, and an isolated 12-24V SSR* Enable Output. Each axis may be independently configured for interface to either an MDT or SSI transducer.
MAx modules can be used for position control. To use the MAx modules for position–pressure or position–force control, the AP2 Expansion module is also required.
Supported Control Types
- Position Control
- Rotary Motion (using SSI interface)
- Linear Motion
- In conjunction with the AP2 Expansion module:
- Position-pressure control
- Position-force control (single-input force)
- Position-force control (dual-input, differential force)
Current Control Output
If you need current Control Output instead of voltage Control Output (e.g. to drive a servo valve coil), use the VC2100 series voltage-to-current converters.
