Hi list,
the subject sais it all: While seeking for information on the RP11-C on the web (I saved a
RP03 from being scrapped 3 years ago), I came across a hint, that there was also a RP11-E
controller. At least using google, there is practically not a single information/document
on the RP11-E other than its existence in the past. Is the difference maybe just a
different input voltage specification (110V vs. 220V)?
Who knows anything on the difference between the C- and the E-type, Google doesn't?
:)
I'd be happy on any hints.
Kind regards,
Pierre

I don?t think so.
The 1976 Peripherals Handbook lists the RP11-C. It shows two variants of the controller:
RP11-CE (115 V, 60 Hz) and RP11-CJ (230 V, 50 Hz). It also shows two variants of the
drive: RP03-AS (230 V, 60 Hz) and RP03-BS (230 V, 50 Hz), both of those are three phase.

I have an RP11. In my copious free time I'll see what flavor it is.
It'll be at least a month though, I'm just leaving on a big vacation!
:-) - remind me then!

The RP11-E is a newer, but about same size, than the RP11-C. I don't
remember the differences, but i went to Chicago and was trained on both in
the late 70's.
I have a few cabinets of documentation to sort through and I might have
some in there. Al, do you want to scan it if you don't have it and I find
it?

Mike, Charles and the two Pauls,
thanks very much for your feedback on this!
The remaining point now is that they are practically impossible to find anymore these
days, but that's different topic...
Thanks again,
Pierre
