Delta Computer Systems Debuts the Ethernet RMC Motion Controller
Delta Computer Systems (Vancouver, WA) has announced direct connectivity to the state-of-the-art ControlLogix Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), via Delta's new Ethernet RMC motion controller. Delta's new high-performance, accurate motion controller, with its Ethernet field-bus communications supporting the applications protocols of the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC, will provide solutions for industry's the automation control needs in applications using hydraulic, pneumatic or servomotor control.
The ControlLogix PLC gains Delta's new RMC motion controller connectivity via the Delta module's Ethernet/IP. The Ethernet, once reserved for office local area networks, has rapidly become an important dedicated industrial network. The Delta RMC Ethernet module connects the high-performance Delta RMC motion controller into the network through its TCP/IP protocol stack along with a variety of application protocols. Data transfer is 10Mbaud fast.
Included in each Delta RMC Ethernet motion controller is the company's unique monitor software, the RMCWIN for Windows, which provides fast set-up and precision tuning with cost-saving results. RMCWIN also provides troublehshooting and diagnostic information along with calculating scale and direction parameters. The software also allows access to auto-tuning functions and permits users to change control parameters from a keyboard. A graphic display of the most current motion profile information, with a list of the most recent commands executed by the module, greatly assists setup and process control.
