The new RCM (Rack Control Module) designed on the latest hardware and software technologies, is a fully embedded PC that controls rack electronics. It's able to communicate with the consoles and control the micro-controllers located in each dimmer drawer. An optional second control module can be installed in the dimmer rack functioning as a Slave control module. The Slave Control Module tracks the Master Control Module and takes over in the case of Master fault.
