The RMC100 series brings the benefits of modular, high-performance motion control to a wide range of industrial applications. Communication options—ranging from high-speed fieldbuses to discrete I/O—make these controllers an excellent choice for large and small systems. Transducer types can be combined to control any hydraulic, electric, and pneumatic system. Powerful control modes—including position/pressure control, synchronized moves, gearing, splines, and teach mode—provide optimum control for your motion applications. Refer to other RMC data sheets or the RMCWin online help for more information. Download RMCWin from Delta’s web site at www.deltamotion.com.
