RMC70/150 and RMCTools User Manual
This topic describes how to program the RMC so that an axis enters closed loop control when
the RMC turns on. For example, perhaps you want the RMC to hold the position of the axes as
soon as it turns on.
The same method can be used to perform more complicated actions when the RMC starts up.
Description
To automatically hold position in closed loop control when the RMC starts up requires the
following steps:
1. Set the RMC to start up in RUN mode. The RMC must be in RUN mode in order for the
Program Triggers to run.
2. Create a User Program that issues the Hold Current Position (5) command.
3. Create a Program Trigger that starts the user program when the RMC enters RUN
mode. Use the First Scan bit as the condition.
Method
1. Set the RMC to start up in RUN mode
a. In the Project Pane, expand Programming and choose Properties.
b. On the RUN/PROGRAM page, in the Startup Mode section, choose RUN, then click
OK.
2. Create the User Program
a. Create a new user program. Name it "HoldPosition".
b. In the first step, choose the Hold Current Position (5) command, and specify the
desired axes.
c. The user program should now have one step and look like this:
