Unit Gives Servo Control To PLCs, PCs

With Modbus Plus communications, the RMC Family of motion controllers brings servo motion control to all major PLCs and PCs, letting these systems communicate with remote devices such as an RMC controller. Modbus Plus communications on the RMC motion controller provides fast communications for precise, point-to-point linear positioning of product or machine to industrial production line automation applications. The RMC interface furnishes Modbus Plus master access to a full 64Kbytes of 16-bit holding registers to popular Allen-Bradley and Modicon PLCs as well as ISA-bus PCs.
