RTMC400-232CAN Controller
RTMC400-232CAN controller is made for motion control applications, which offers speed PID controller, position PID controller, Quadrature encoder input, stepper motor indexers, and plus a lot of the same features in RTM200 series controller.
RTMC400-232CAN is a RS-232 interface based function-ready controller that accepts either serial ASCII string commands or Modbus protocol to perform real-time tasks in the applications of monitoring, measuring, and controls. CAN bus communication is supported in this controller so It is also capable of networking with CAN communication. The built-in CAN to UART bridge offers a virtual UART communication to send or receive message similar to RS-485 serial communication network operation.
RTMC400-232CAN is based on a high-performance 16-bit 40 MIPS DSP core processor with enhanced peripheral interface. The advanced firmware has been developed and embedded in this controller so that the customer neither needs to develop real-time embedded firmware nor needs development tools. To command this device, the user simply sends ASCII strings or Modbus protocol through RS232 serial port to do speed control, position control, speed measuring, position measuring, stepper motor control, read A/D, output D/A and PWM, set I/O or read I/O, etc. You can choose to have the returning data in either ASCII format or binary format based on setup configuration. Each A/D input can be filtered or passed through as raw data. This controller is capable of automatically recognizing ASCII protocol and Modbus protocol.

This unit functions as a master and through its daisy-chainable connectors, such as RJ-45 Jacks or J4 header connector, up to 63 boards of RTMC200-CAN can be connected to form a distributed networking system
The ASCII string commands are intuitive and simple. For example, @1XS 2000 will set the speed reference to 2000 rpm for this controller at device address 1. @2RAU3 will read the A/D channel 3 with raw data from a slave controller, such as RTMC400-CAN at device address 2.
We offer three different board assembly configurations to give you a flexibility to choose the one that fits your hardware interface. The RTMC400-232CAN-A has no 0.1" pin header connectors installed; the RTMC400-232CAN-B is fully populated with 0.1" headers and terminal blocks as shown in the above picture; the RTMC400-232CAN-C is specially to be used as a daughter board with all 0.1" pin header connectors installed for daughter board interface. All of the three different boards function the same as stated in RTMC400 series User Manual.
