VM Series Maintenance and Safety Manual 704-0212-209 Machine Components 1- 19
Each RMB supports four motors (command and feedback) and one encoder (feedback
only). Hurco machines use a single RMB for a 3-axis (XYZ and S) configuration. An
additional RMB is required for 4th-axis, 5th-axis, and dual loop linear scale
configurations.
Slice I/O
The Slice I/O monitors machine sensors and controls electrical and electomechanical
devices such as the Tool Changer. The device is mounted on the DIN rail, accommodating
installation and servicing. The I/O devices and wiring terminals are merged into one unit
for fewer connections, higher reliability, and a smaller footprint.
The standard configuration consists of a Main (Slice 0), a Slave (Slice 1) and another
Slave (Slice 2). Each Slice component contains Diagnostic LEDs that indicate the status of
all I/O points.
Main Slice
The Main Slice contains System Status LEDs, several Input and Output connections (see
Figure 1–4. Slice I/O, on page 1 - 20 for a list of each).
System Status LEDs on Slice 0 indicate the following when lit:
• ES—Embedded E Stop
• RST—System Reset
• OT—Over Temp
• ERR—CAN Communication Error
• TX—CAN Message
Slave Slice
The secondary Slice I/O devices have binary Slice Address LEDs. Each Slice I/O has a
unique address. Most machines are equipped with Slice 0 I/O and 2 secondary Slice I/O
(Slice 1 and Slice 2), expandable up to 17 slices (268 inputs and 268 outputs) (see Figure
1–4. Slice I/O, on page 1 - 20 for a list of each).
