RMCTools Motion Control Software
Setup, Tuning, Programming & Diagnostics Software
RMCTools is our powerful motion control software package for setting up, tuning, troubleshooting, programming, and controlling all of the features of our RMC70, RMC150, and RMC200 motion controllers.
RMCTools offers high-speed communications to the RMC75E, RMC150E, and RMC200 via USB or Ethernet and to the RMC75S and RMC75P via RS-232 serial.
Integrated Development Environment
RMCTools is an Integrated Development Environment, providing an immediate overview and easy access to all aspects of your motion application. RMCTools now supports EtherCAT to configure and monitor an arrangement of EtherCAT SubDevices (RMC200 only; requires the ECAT Communications Module).
Plot Manager
The Plot Manager provides powerfully plotting capabilities. Plot any register, up to 48 registers per plot for the RMC200 Lite and 128 for the RMC200 Standard, sampled down to the control loop resolution. The detail window provides plot item values at each sample. Export plots to various file formats for use in Microsoft Excel and other programs.
