There are four analog modules available for the RMC. Each is listed below:
Analog 16-bit with Pressure
Four analog inputs with 16-bit Analog/Digital Converters.
Two analog outputs with 12-bit Digital/Analog Converters assigned to analog channels 0 and 2.
Able to utilize Pressure control firmware.
Uses: position control, velocity control, speed reference (joystick), position reference (joystick), pressure control, differential force control, and pressure reference.
Analog 12-bit with Pressure
Four analog inputs with 12-bit Analog/Digital Converters.
No analog outputs.
Able to utilize Pressure control firmware.
Uses: speed reference (joystick), position reference (joystick), transitioned pressure control, transitioned differential force control, and pressure reference.
Analog 16-bit without Pressure
Four analog inputs with 16-bit Analog/Digital Converters.
Two analog outputs with 12-bit Digital/Analog Converters assigned to analog channels 0 and 2.
Unable to utilize Pressure control firmware.
Uses: position control, velocity control, speed reference (joystick), and position reference (joystick).
Analog 12-bit without Pressure
Four analog inputs with 12-bit Analog/Digital Converters.
No analog outputs.
Unable to utilize Pressure control firmware.
Uses: speed reference (joystick), and position reference (joystick).
Selecting the Roles of the Analog Channels
The first step for setting up analog module is to assign roles to each analog channel. This is described in Analog Transducer Configuration, it is possible to change the modules between some or all of the following roles:
Selecting the Analog Transducer Type
Each of these analog modules can accept one of four voltage ranges or a current range from 4 to 20mA as input. Refer to Analog Transducer Configuration for details on selecting the appropriate type.
Analog Input Ranges
See the COUNTS topic for detailed information on the maximum and minimum limits of the various analog input ranges.
