Product Overview: The Reliance Cool Muscle Motor with Ethernet interface is designed for seamless integration into standard Ethernet networks. It supports the full set of Cool Muscle Language commands and is available in NEMA sizes 17 and 23. The Ethernet module can be factory-fitted or retrofitted to existing motors.

Technical Specifications: The motor features a standard RJ45 Ethernet connector, automatic configuration via DHCP or APIPA, and manual configuration through Telnet or the CM1Ipx utility. It includes a positive lock 2-pin 24V DC power connector and a 10-pin I/O Daisy Chain connector. The virtual COM port driver allows compatibility with existing Cool Muscle software.

Pulse Interface: The motor supports CW/CCW step/direction input signals with a maximum frequency of 500 Kpps and a minimum pulse width of 0.8µsec. Voltage levels for high and low signals are specified for both pulse and step inputs.

Variable Voltage Interface: Integrated into the C-Type motor, this interface allows speed and position control through voltage adjustments. Speed increases with voltage from 2.6V to 4.8VDC in the CW direction and decreases from 2.4V to 0VDC in the CCW direction.

RT3 Real Time Interface: This interface supports coordinated motion for two axes, embedded PLC logic banks for motion calculations, and simulated AB outputs from the magnetic encoder. It also allows shared I/O access across motors.

Programmable I/Os: The RCM features 4 inputs and 2 outputs, configurable for digital, analogue, serial, or pulse counter functions. Input functions include origin sensor, manual feed, and motor enable, while output functions include alarm and in-position signals.

Networking and Advanced Motion: RCMs can be networked in a daisy chain, allowing for program activation and command reception without PC, PLC, or HMI control. Advanced motion features include continuous PTP motion and push mode for emulating pneumatic operations.

Virtual Signal: The RCM utilizes virtual signal techniques to create multiple events from a single input signal, enhancing the functionality of I/O ports.
