NOTE: 

If you extract NVRAM values to a file (

Viewport

File transfer

 | 

Save 

NVRAM to File

), to simplify restoring them in the event of file corruption or to 

distribute to identical control systems, remember that NVRAM values are position 
sensitive in the program. When saving the NVRAM is crucial to your application, 
it is recommended to place all symbols and/or modules that use NVRAM at the 
beginning of your program. When NVRAM (.nvr file) is re-installed, all the values 
should line up with the program. If the program is modified, and new logic that 
uses NVRAM is placed before any older symbols using NVRAM, the previously 
stored values will not line up and your presets will have to be re-entered. 

NOTE:

 The new NVRAMDISK command (available in CUZ files later than 

3.030), will fail unless it can determine the amount of NVRAM used by the 
program, to ensure that the NVRAM is not overwritten. Programs compiled in 
SIMPL Windows version 2.04.11 or later can provide this information. In the 
event of a failure of the NVRAMDISK command, ensure that your program has 
been recompiled in an appropriate version of SIMPL Windows and reloaded.  

Volatile (DRAM) 

1.  Digital, analog and serial signal values 

2.  SIMPL+ Variables (Default if no options are specified, or if "volatile" 

qualifier is used, or #DEFAULT_VOLATILE is used) 

DRAM is used by the operating system for dynamic storage of variables, signals 
and other constructs used at runtime.  The actual amount of DRAM used at any 
given time depends on the particular program that is running, i.e., usage is 
variable, or dynamic, during normal operation. 

Industry Compliance 

As of the date of manufacture, the QM-RMC has been tested and found to 
comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and 
Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling (N11785). 

          

 

NOTE:  

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is 

subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful 
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including 
interference that may cause undesired operation.  

Setup 

Hardware Hookup 

Refer to the following hookup diagram and, aside from attaching power last, 
complete the connections in any order.  

NOTE:

  To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that 

exceeds the environmental temperature range listed in the specifications table.  
Consideration must be given if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly 
since the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater 
than the room ambient. Contact with thermal insulating materials should be 
avoided on all sides of the unit.
