RTMC600-232CAN Controller
This controller is made for industrial feedback control applications. It offers four PID controllers for mult-loop or multiple single loop feedback control applications, and plus many similar features offered in RTM200 series controller. The applications can be voltage control, current control, temperature control, flow control, pressure control, level control, etc.
RTMC600-232CAN 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.
RTMC600-232CAN 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 perform four PI controller feedback controls, to read A/D, to output D/A and PWM, to set I/O or read I/O, and to read event counters. 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, the command @2XR2 5000 will set the control reference2 for PI controller2 to 5000 for a slave controller, such as RTMC600-CAN, at device address 2. @1RAU3 will read the A/D channel 3 with raw data from this controller at device address 1.
We offer three different board configurations to give you a flexibility to choose the one that fits your hardware interface. The RTMC600-232CAN-A has no 0.1" pin header connectors installed; the RTMC600-232CAN-B is fully populated with 0.1" headers and terminal blocks as shown in the above picture; the RTMC600-232CAN-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 RTMC600 series User Manual
