Changed Timing Behavior
The following RTC
®
4 list commands are processed by
the RTC
®
5 as “short list commands”. This can result
in a changed timing behavior during execution (see
).

Interface to the PC
• The RTC

5 software drivers supports simulta-
neous control of any number of RTC

5 boards in
• Connectors and commands for master/slave
synchronization of multiple RTC

Scan System Control
• New interface to the scan system (see

slot cover and on-board 10-pin connector
– SL2-100 transfer protocol
– 2 data channels each for both scan head con-
nectors
– Galvanically isolated signals
– 20-bit positioning resolution (see

• An XY2-100 converter is provided for data
transfer according to the XY2-100 protocol (see
). The RTC
®
5 provides power for this
converter.
– 25-pin female D-SUB connector
– 16-bit positioning resolution
– Status return according XY2-100 or XY2-100
Enhanced protocol
– Transfer synchronization is configurable for
long data cables via solder jumpers in the
XY2-100 converter
• For optical data transfer between the RTC
®
5 and
scan systems,
no
special variant of the RTC
®
5
(with XY2-100-O interface) is required. Optical
data transfer can be realized via a SCANLAB data
cable with electrical-to-optical conversion in its
D-SUB connector housing (see
).
