2. Functions and Control
RMC hoist controller was designed to control up to 12 (RMC-12) electrically compatible motors
either separately or simultaneously; via DIGITAL cable remote or locally on the RMCseries base
unit.
All electrical components carry their own individual CE certification and comply with European
Directives. The components are housed in a robust steel 19" rack case with powder coating.
. Operation
The Motors/Hoists connected to the MCseries controller can be activated either individually or
simultaneously using the GO button located either on the corresponding RMCseries controller
base or on the remote controller.
.1 How to start
• Connect the Main plug to the 2 0V AC power supply /on MCseries controller this is
marked as an “AUX” output/
• Connect the Remote connector to the MCseries controller
• Connect Remote2/E-stop connector to the MCseries controller
• Select type of operation LOCAL / REMOTE using the KEY switch
• Check if the emergency STOP button is not engaged
• Engage the gear lever corresponding to each motor to the required position:
o UP - Lever in upper position
o STAY – Lever in middle position
o DOWN - Lever in lower position
• Pushing the GO button will activate the motors that will move simultaneously
• Releasing the GO button will simultaneously cease the movement of the motors
• When the device is not being used, it is highly recommended to turn it off using the key
switch or the STOP button
.2 To Move a Single Motor:
• Set the UP/DOWN toggle switch for the motor to be moved to the desired direction. The
associated LED will light green for UP and red for DOWN.
• Hold the GO button until the motor has moved to the desired height and release.
. To Move Several Motors:
• Set the UP/DOWN toggle switches for each motor to be moved to the desired direction.
Every associated LED will light green for UP and red for DOWN.
• Hold the GO button until the motors have moved to the desired height and release.

5. Optional CMC-DIGITAL remote
CMC-DIGITAL allows controlling of the RMCseries via the DIGITAL wired remote
5.1 STOP:
This latching pushbutton switch turns the Hoist Control system off. Once the STOP button has
been pressed, it is locked into the off position and must be rotated clockwise to be released.
5.2 GO:
This pushbutton switch turns the selected channels of Hoist Control system on when they are
active. Once the GO button has been pressed, the energizing of the hoists is on.
5. DIRECTION SWITCHES:
They allow changing the direction of movement for each motor/hoist separately.

6.2 E-stop connector
Unit is equipped with certified SIL E-STOP safety relay. For additional safety, up to two
sources of E-STOP can be connected. Usually one of them is the RMC unit and the other one
should be the load cell unit. According to the requirement, both lines are normally closed – NC.
Because of this, it is necessary to fit the safety breach /MXX connector with a short circuit
between pins 1 and 2, and pins and 4. Both lines are separated and CANNOT be connected
together – otherwise it will not be possible to reset the safety circuit.

Pin 2: Safety line 1 OUT
Pin : Safety line 2 IN
Pin 4: Safety line 2 OUT

6. Remote1/Remote2 connector or LINK connectors
LINK connectors are used for linking of two or more RMC units together in case that linked
operation of units is required. For link unit need be in the local mode. E-STOP and GO signal is
sent via network to all linked controllers.
RS485 is used as a communication link.

6.4 CMC-DIGITAL connection
CMC remote connectors are used for linking of RMC with the CMC-xx DIGITAL remote for remote
operation with option to change directions. Each RMC needs to be connected with CMC-xx
DIGITAL via 5pole digital cables.
STOP and GO signal is sent only to controller – not to other linked units.
RS485 is used as a communication link.

7. Linking of RMCseries units
Up to 10 RMC base units can be linked together for a group operation of GO buttons.
For linking of RMC base, use a -pin XLR cable connected as 1:1 between pins 1- .
Data are transferred thru the RS485 line.
All connected devices will have GO/E-STOP button linked in the LOCAL mode.
