RMC70/150 and RMCTools User Manual

• On the toolbar, click the Controller button and choose RUN Mode or

PROGRAM Mode.

From a Host Controller (PLC, HMI, etc.)

• Issue the RUN Mode (98) or PROGRAM Mode (99) commands to the RMC.

Using a Discrete Input to enter RUN or PROGRAM mode

You can define a discrete input that puts the RMC into RUN or PROGRAM mode:

• In the Project Pane, in the project tree, right-click the Programming node, click

Properties, and click the RUN/PROGRAM page.

• Select Define a RUN/PROGRAM discrete input.

• Choose the input you want to define as a RUN/PROGRAM input and click OK.

When the input transitions from low to high, the RMC will enter RUN mode. When the

input transitions from high to low, the RMC will enter PROGRAM mode. The state of the

input does not necessarily reflect the RUN/PROGRAM state, because the RUN/PROGRAM

mode can also be changed by other methods.

Starting the RMC in RUN or PROGRAM mode

By default, the RMC starts up in PROGRAM mode. You can set it to start up in PROGRAM

or RUN mode:

• In the Project Pane, in the project tree, right-click the Programming node and click

Properties.

• On the RUN/PROGRAM page, choose the Startup Mode you want, then click OK.

• Right-click the Programming node and click Download Programs.

• Update Flash so that the settings will be saved when the RMC is powered off.

Tip:

You can start a User Program immediately when the RMC enters RUN Mode by using the

FirstScan bit in the Program Triggers. If the Startup Mode is set to RUN Mode, the RMC can

run a user program immediately upon powering up.

3.2.4. Registration

Registration is the process of recording the precise position of an axis when an external event

occurs. Registration is commonly used for measurements. For example, consider a photo-eye

set up on a conveyor belt, where the position of the belt is measured with a quadrature

encoder. By registering the precise position at which the photo-eye is broken and the precise

position at which it is reconnected, the length of a widget on the belt can be accurately

determined.

The RMC provides registration on quadrature

feedback axes only. This is because quadrature

feedback is the only type of feedback that can record a position at any given moment (within

40μs), independent of the

loop time of the RMC. All other feedback types can only report the

position once each loop time (500μs to 4000μsec). Using the programming capabilities of the

RMC, such as discrete inputs and the Program Triggers, it is possible to achieve functionality

similar to registration with other feedback types, but the accuracy will not be the same as with

quadrature feedback.

Registration Inputs

Registration can be performed with the following inputs. An input can only perform

registration for the feedback of the same connector.
