September 29, 2007 — Vancouver, WA — Delta Computer Systems, Inc. has announced support for Omron CS and CJ Series PLCs using the Ethernet FINS/UDP protocol and Delta’s RMC70 Series and RMC100 Series motion controllers.
The entire Delta family of RMC motion controllers now supports the FINS protocol for connections via field proven Ethernet networks. This allows the RMC motion controllers to function as slaves to remote Omron PLCs for data transfer and other services performed by the PLC.
The Delta RMC70 Series is used in one- and two- axis servo motion applications while the RMC100 Series motion controller (RMC100 or RMC150 versions) is applied in larger multi-axis applications.
Jacob Paso, Delta Quality Assurance Engineer stated, "The addition of the Omron FINS protocol gives Delta the ability to support our growing worldwide customer base." Paso added, "This protocol is an important addition to our device library allowing Delta motion controllers the means to "talk" with PLCs, HMI and other systems in testing, production and OEM applications."
By using example communication programs, a user can quickly get up and running when using this Delta and Omron combination.
