3.1 Basic Operation
3.1.1 Basic Operation Methods
RCP6S actuator is to be controlled with the fieldbus by using the gateway unit and hub units.
There are various types of actuators including slider type, wide slider type, rod type, wide rod
type, radial cylinder type and table type. The same operation control method is applicable
unless particular descriptions are contained in this manual.
It is available to have a controller for RCP6S Gateway (RCM-P6PC, RCM-P6AC or RCM-P6DC)
instead of RCP6S actuator connected to a hub unit or a gateway unit and connect an actuator of
RCP2 to 6, RCA/RCA2 and RCD. In this case, the way to control the operation should be the same
unless otherwise specified.
