Product Description
The RCT 5023-G is a controller option for the R FR 5012/5014 Rack Frame assemblies
and provides remote control, status monitoring and event (error) reporting for all LYNX
modules installed in the rack.
The option consists of the controller hardware and the required LYNX control software
that is designed to operate on a standard Windows compatible PC.
The RCT 5023-G is one component in a scalable and modular control system topology
that can expand from a single rack to hundreds of racks located in different locations.
This controller supports Ethernet LAN connectivity.
The RCT 5023-G
also supports “Smart Update”, i.e. programming of modules through
the control software. Newer designs of processing modules support this function. Please
contact LYNX for a current list of supported modules.
