What we check
We check the program, I/O, protocols and interlocks before selecting the RP20C-ECT.
- RP20C-ECT is the current official model name
- the former site label RP20-ETC was incorrect
- The coupler does not define the final I/O mix by itself
- module count, terminal power and cycle time remain subject to engineering review
- Availability, lead time, price and warranty are confirmed at RFQ
