Hi, I am working on a PMAC pack that is working with other two PMAC PC 833 to control a XY gantry. I wonder if there is any quick way to plug and play into the PMAC pack system to pull its "G-code" program to verify with our backup program. I tried to use the RS232 port on all three unit but none of them were seem to be fo und as COM port on a computer. I wonder if the manual said that if RS422 is taken then RS232 would be inoperative. Is there another way?

Running WinXP , PMAC NC-32 v2.36(1) on PMAC1 Isa Universal LIte, with Adv600 4-switch control panel. All other functions seem to be working, but in both MDI & AUTO mode, all the codes execute, even though I have selected 'Single Block'. Both the toggle switch on the Adv600 panel, & the software control button on screen will change, indicating that it wants to be in single block, but programs & MDI both execute all lines of code. What did I set up wrong? Or NOT set up? Cheers, Steve

Sorry for my poor English. I have trouble using Qt to develop HMI especially in transport data between Turbo Pmac and IPC. Qt use QVariant instead of Variant in DPR functions. DPRgetmem function in Qt is like: DPRGetMem(int dwDevice, int offset, int bytes, QVariant& pVal, bool& pbSuccess) However, QVariant does not have the data type of integer array or float array. Does somebody know how 'DPRsetmem' and 'DPRgetmem' functions work in Qt? Thanks.

I'm using UMAC system with Turbo Pmac2 CPU, 1 servo ICs ACC24EA, they're all put into ACC-U10 UBUS Backplane. One day, I tried to registered a PComm32.dll into my laptop with connected with the UMAC by ethernet, suddenly, the servo ICs is disconnected from the system. I checked and found that the 2 PWR led were off and 4 ENC led were amber instead of green. What should I do to make the ACC-24E2A be recognized in the system again ?

Hello, I have a cnc waterjet that I runs using a delta tau PMAC lite card on an old windows 98 pc. Today when I went to home it I get no response. I can not change the axis by the switch nor will any other switch work, Even to change it to homing or automatic mode. It has been working fine for years. Would it be safe to say that the problem is in the PMAC control panel board? I found one online but I want to be sure that is it because the panel board is not cheap. Is there any way I can potentially isolate the problem? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, we are trying to fix an ASYMTEC Axiom X1010 for a customer and the connected PC has been reinstalled to Windows XP from WindowsNT, unfortunately the supplied drivers for the PMAC-PCI card show an error during installation that the .INF file is for windows 95 or later. Is there a way to get drivers for PMAC-PCI for windows XP? Thank you for any suggestions.

Hello, I recently installed Pewin32pro2 on a Windows XP computer to interface with a PMAC2A-PC/104. I acquired the software from the Delta Tau Legacy software on the Omron page, but it does not include the Site Key to my knowledge. How would I best be able to acquire a key for this software license? Thank you for your time.

Hello, I am currently using a PMAC2 PC/104, and in the documentation it says to control it with PeWIN32Pro. However, I would prefer to use a new version of the program, PeWIN32Pro 2. Is this possible? Or does this specific PMAC only work with the original PeWIN32Pro software? Thank you for your time

Delta Tau insider 1993-98, contributed some useful concepts. Still using PMACs from then, always in "Minimal-Mode". Also have a Turbo UMAC, and might consider a Power UMAC, for future. I build a few Very Simple Boards (like "Trailng-Edge"). For example: A $40 Lantronix Xport, and a $35 Rpi to run a Mill (minus the glory). Whatever it takes to keep using PMAC. Seems a simple User-Built analog-amp is Really-Needed. Control-board-only, PMAC-current-mode-only, separate power-devices (tougher & repairable). No commercial Amp-Mfr could do this, but some Humans-CAN. Thinking of the Simplest-Single-Purpose way to do it.

Goal: Change parameter settings in the ARCL command line. Problem: When I try to make any kind of parameter changes I get the same error. Below is an example of when I attempt to change the robot width. Config had at least this problem: line 11426: width not in section, client needs an upgrade. Background: I have used the "getConfigSectionList" & "getConfigSectionInfo" to identify the parameters that can be changed. So the command should work. I have also updated the mobileplanner software to allow parameter changes to be made using ARCL. Current Code: Configstart Configadd general Configadd width 400 ConfigParse

I'm using a setup with: CPU (80 Mhz) ACC 1P ACC 2P (with USB and Ethernet) I'm having problems reestablishing an ethernet connection to the PMAC. After cold starting the PMAC I can't ping it at its usual 192.6.94.5. When I connect my Win10 via USB the PMAC is identified as "Delta Tau UMAC USB 2.0 Device No EEPROM" in the Device Manager. I can use the EthUSBConfigure.exe (from PMAC Executive Pro2 Suite 4.4.0.0) to set the IP, Protocol (TCP 1025) and the "H/W Type" (PC104) with a click on "Store IP". After replugging the USB cable the Motion controller is now identified (correctly): Delta Tau PC104 USB Device. At this point I can finally use PeWin32Pro again or ev…

Does anyone have a simple way to emulate quadrature encoder output that is tied to either motor or axis position? We have an external application that needs axis position as an AquadB signal. We can't daisy chain the encoder hardware because we are suing sine encoders and ACC51 interface. I could see doing what we need with a PLC, but not sure which outputs would be best. Is there an accessory that I am not thinking of that would help in this regard? Thanks.

Hi, We are using quite some of the older and slower 60MHz PMAC-PC boards where the product processing application has some lengthy background PLC routines and continuously data-gathering upload (list gather commands) through the host interface during the production process. During its 25 seconds product processing cycle, the running motion program is using following mode about 150 times with RAPID moves in-between. Due to the background PLC processing and gather upload commands, the PMATCH commands after the following mode can take up to 25 milliseconds, and to speed-up the production process I want to use a custom and more efficient alternative to PMATCH. The …

We have customers who need retrofit of their old machines with Pmac (ISA, VME) We have several hardware solutions (BrickControler, PowerBrickControler, ...) The problem is regarding the software. They have several PLCC in memory and not the source files, only a .cfg backup. Have you information about how the PLCC are compiled ? Or about how can we decompile or understand the code included in the area "compiled PLCC's" of the .cfg file ? Best regards.

I'm on a PMAC Mini (PMAC 1). I have a worm gear coupled to a motor via a flexible shaft adapter. I run with minimal blending, (I187=1, I188=0), and reverse the motor while it is rotating at varying velocities. The backlash introduced by the shaft adapter seems to vary with velocity. Does that mean I have to set up a backlash table, as opposed to just adjusting backlash iVars?

I'm bringing up a 3-axis system using a PMAC-PC Universal Lite ISA buss, with DPR on board. Software is v2.36(1), & the PROM version is 1.16G. PEWIN works with no problems, I'm able to download plc's & they appear to be working. When I start NC-32 I get messages saying: "PMAC Memory checksum is incorrect or not initialized" & "PMAC PROM checksum is incorrect or not initialized", along with axes not home referenced, amps not enabled, amps open loop. Do I have a hardware problem, or an operator (me) problem? Cheers

I have several PMAC(1)s that I want to upgrade firmware on. The processor is a PMAC Universal CPU with OPT-16, so they have a battery. When I try to put them in bootstrap mode, installing J4 on the CPU board, nothing happens. PEWIN 32 Pro2 just starts to communicate and does not recognize the jumper is on. All the firmware upgrade documents say this is the procedure. How do I upgrade the firmware?
