User Manual

RTMC600-485 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.

It is a RS-485 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. All commands are sent through RS-485 standard communication port. It is based on a high-performance 16-bit 40 MIPS DSP core processor with enhanced peripheral interface. The advanced embedded firmware has been developed and embedded into 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 RS-485 serial port to perform four PI controller feedback controls, 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.

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 this controller at device address 2. @2RAU3 will read the A/D channel 3 with raw data from this controller at device address 2.

We offer three different board configurations to give you a flexibility to choose the one that fits your hardware interface. The RTMC600-485A has no 0.1" pin header connectors installed; the RTMC600-485B is fully populated with 0.1" headers and terminal blocks as shown in the above picture; the RTMC600-485C is specially to be used as a daughter board with all 0.1" pin header connectors for daughter board interface. All of the three different boards function the same as stated in RTMC600 series controller's User Manual
