Overview

Overview of PLC/Motion Controller

RM series programmable logic controller, support logic control and motion control functions. With the CODESYS 3.5 SP19 programming environment, the process can be encapsulated and reused through FB/FC functions. Multi-layer network communication can be achieved through RS485, Ethernet, EtherCAT and CANOpen interfaces. The PLC body integrates digital input and digital output functions, and supports the expansion of -8 Reiter IO modules.

  • Supports up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs
  • Optional transistor or relay output (RX8U series: transistor only)
  • Integrated Type-C programming interface
  • Typically equipped with two RS485 interfaces and one CAN interface (CAN optional on RX8U series)
  • RX8U series supports expansion up to 8 RE series I/O modules for flexible I/O scaling
  • Instruction set fully compatible with Mitsubishi FX3U series
CE certified RoHS compliant

RM500 Series EtherCAT PLC Motion Controller FAQs

Straight answers to what buyers ask us most about PLC/Motion Controller.

In RM510-1616T, RM is the Rtelligent RM series programmable logic controller, 5 marks the medium 500 series, 1 the EtherCAT bus type and 0 the axis performance of 8-axis synchronisation in a 1 ms period. 1616 means 16 inputs and 16 outputs, and the last letter is the output type: R for relay, T for NPN transistor or P for PNP transistor.

The RM500 is programmed in CODESYS V3.5 SP19 using IEC 61131-3 languages LD, ST, SFC and CFC, with processes packaged and reused as FB/FC functions. It has 20 MB of program capacity and 20 MB of data memory, of which 4 KB is retained at power-off, plus a real-time clock with a replaceable button battery. Programs are uploaded, downloaded and monitored over Ethernet.

As an EtherCAT master it handles up to 128 slave stations with a 500 μs minimum sync time and under 100 m between nodes. Ethernet supports Modbus-TCP as master for 63 slaves or as slave to 16 masters, two RS485 ports run Modbus RTU/ASCII with up to 31 slaves, and the CAN port supports CANopen from 125 kbps to 1 Mbps with built-in 120 Ω termination.

The RM510 price depends on the output type you choose (relay, NPN or PNP transistor), how many local expansion IO modules the machine needs and the order quantity. RB Automation shares a quotation after reviewing your axis count and IO list. Send these through the inquiry form on this page or email contact@rbautomate.com.

Yes, OEMs can order RM500 controllers in bulk together with Rtelligent EtherCAT servo drives, motors and RE series IO modules, and RB Automation will quote them as one package for each machine build.
