Delta RMC101 - Manual (Page 555)

Analog 6.1
Transducer Interface Modules 6-11
Because only channels 0 and 2 have drive outputs associated with them on the analog modules with
drive outputs, it is only these two channels that can be configured as Position Control; any channel
may be configured as Position Reference. Use the following steps:
1. On the Tools menu, click Module Configuration.
2. In the Slots list, click an analog module.
3. Click Slot options.
4. In the Analog Channel Assignment dialog box, click the tab of the channel pair (0-1 or 2-3) you
wish to reassign.
5. Click the option button of a channel assignment that designates one or more channels as
Position control and/or Position Reference. The assignment selected depends on how you
intend to use the all channels.
6. Click Update RMC.
7. The Update Module Configuration dialog box will be displayed to indicate the progress. If the
RMC could not be reset automatically, you may be prompted to reset it manually.
8. In the RMC Configuration dialog box, click Close.
Step 2: Configure the Analog Transducer Type for the Position Input
Refer to Configuring the Analog Transducer Type for details on selecting between a voltage or
current input type.
Step 3: Set the Scale, Offset, Extend Limit, and Retract Limit Parameters for the Position
Input
Refer to the individual field sections for details on setting each parameter.
What to Expect in the Transducer Counts Field
The Counts reading will vary depending on the transducer type selected. Refer to that topic for a
description of the mapping of input voltage or current to counts.
Analog Input Ranges
See the COUNTS topic for detailed information on the maximum and minimum limits of the
various analog input ranges.
