RapidSequencer
A scripting language based on RapidCode API that enables OEMs to easily program the entire machine program or sub-routines using RMP Motion Controller into the RTOS to achieve real-time deterministic performance. C language programming experience is not required.
* Available for Windows and/or RTOS

Overview
RapidSequencer API leverages RMP soft motion controller and allows applications to be programmed entirely using RapidSetup Tool and our RapidScript custom scripting language
Create EtherCAT machine control applications with our simple RapidScript proprietary language.
Comes in 2 variations:
(1) Windows
(2) RTOSAchieve complex tasks without the need for an expensive PLC or motion controller.
Use any OS or hardware for your host system to create beautiful UIs/HMIs.
You do not have to be a C or expert programmer to program high performaces machines!

How it works
Straightforward Workflow
Configure EtherCAT network and save topology
Connect your EtherCAT nodes to RMP+ controller and RapidSetup tool will do the rest of the work. RapidSetup will scan network and then seamlessly save the topology.

Create sequencer(s) for Motion and IO needs
Create a single or multiple sequencers using RapidCode scripting language based on your machine’s motion and IO needs. The IDE is built into RapidSetup tool so you can easily debug your program.

Design beautiful, intuitive, and powerful applications
Visual Studio can be used for developing simple or feature rich UIs’s with powerful tooling and debugging capability.

Connect the UI to Sequencers using RapidTags
Last step is to connect the UI to Sequencer program(s) so you can write into and read variables. Use RapidTags to seamlessly make the connection.
Configurations
Select a RapidSequencer configuration to learn more
Great product if you are an existing RMP customer and would like to load some processes into the RTOS for real-time deterministic performance. These processes can be motion or IO related.
