RMC200 Hardware Overview

The RMC200 offers many controller features for controlling a wide variety of hydraulic, electric, and pneumatic position and position–pressure or position-force applications. The built-in 10/100 Ethernet ports provide connectivity to many PLCs and HMIs.

The RMC200 offers Lite and Standard options.

Feature Key

The Feature Key specifies the control features of the RMC200. Currently, it specifies the number of control loops.

The key is a removable token installed in the CPU module. This allows for easy transfer from one RMC200 CPU to another when replacing one RMC200 with a spare RMC200. When initially purchased, the Feature Key comes loaded with the customer-ordered features. Features may also be added to the Feature Key later.

Modules

The RMC200 consists of a backplane with user-swappable power, CPU, and I/O modules.

 

 

RMC200 Lite:

Slot 0/1: CPU module with integrated power supply

Remaining slots: I/O modules

 

 

 

 

 

 

RMC200 Standard:

Slot 0: Power supply module

Slot 1: CPU module

Remaining slots: I/O modules

Installing and Removing Modules

To install a module on the backplane:

1. Tilt the module backwards.

2. Insert the module's hinge pins into the backplane hooks.

3. Tilt the module down.

   

4. Tighten the screw to
5 in-lbs (0.6 Nm).

 

 

Removal is the reverse of installation.
