5.1.6.10 Technical Brief: Using the RMC Discrete I/O Parallel Event
Mode
Abstract
The RMC-DI/O is capable of sophisticated motion control using small and inexpensive
Programmable Controllers with simple discrete I/O. An RMC with a DI/O communication interface
is capable of four discrete I/O interfaces: Command Mode, Input to Event Mode, Parallel Position
Mode, and Parallel Event Mode. Of these communication modes, Parallel Event mode is the best
fit when the motion can be pre-programmed using the RMC’s Event Control feature and parallel
inputs can be provided to the RMCsuch as through a PLC or thumb-wheel switch.
This technical brief will compare the discrete I/O interfaces of the RMC100 series product-line,
describe implementing Parallel Event Mode, and finally provide a sample application using
Parallel Event Mode.
DI/O Communication Mode Comparison
The following chart lists the advantages and disadvantages of each communication mode. Each
word or phrase in bold print appears in RMCWin’s online help index.
