Input Type: Pressure

Pressure input force refers to measuring pressure using a single pressure transducer. A pressure input requires only one analog input on the RMC.

In applications using hydraulic cylinders, notice that it is not possible to calculate resultant force on the rod with only one pressure transducer because the pressure on the other side of the cylinder is unknown. Applications with one pressure transducer cannot use force control, but can use pressure control. For details on measuring force on a hydraulic cylinder, see the Input Type: Dual-Input Force topic.
