LINUX LOGIC CONTROLLER
EMBEDDED PCI-104 CONTROL SYSTEM
N
The RMU is an open, integrated platform for automation and process control, based on
Power PC™ and Linux technology. Logic flexibility, based on C/C++ running on Linux, is
now limitless compared to traditional PLC systems. In addition, each component in the
control and I/O network can provide local web browser based diagnostics for fast debug and
validation. The RMU redefines with simplicity, open and distributed control architectures for
equipment and process automation.
With large numbers of on-board I/O and expandability over Ethernet, the RMU is a robust
and rugged system that can be used for factory automation control, data acquisition, and
process monitoring. RMU is configured with a robust Linux environment, and all necessary
functions to begin rapid development of your application. MKS provides the driver and code
examples to get your application running quickly.

Features & Benefits
Open Control Architecture
The RMU core resides in a 4 x 4 x 2.5” space and consists
of the power supply, CPU and peripherals. The unit is
then expanded with up to 4 I/O cards, each adding 0.6” of
width. The package is completely factory configured, so
you need only 1 part number to purchase. I/O cards utilize
a modular PCI-104 bus, which allows users the flexibility
to add 3rd party cards, in addition to standard MKS I/O
cards. Each unit mounts on 35mm DIN rail.
The RMU is an open, integrated platform for process
control and data monitoring, all in one package. Dual
Ethernet ports allow independent remote I/O control
network and additional up-Link to the LAN or WAN
network. The RMU also has 4 serial ports RS232/485,
USB port devices such as memory sticks, CompactFlash
for data storage and a CAN port for communicating with
CAN devices.

SenseLink™ Data Monitoring Software
The RMU with SenseLink data monitoring software
provides a complete data monitoring analysis and
visualization solution. All software is preloaded and
configured for data monitoring right out of the box. On
power up, the unit is immediately collecting data. Users
can log in using the web browser interface to view data
or make changes to the data collection and alarming
configuration.
