As of late 2020, the locations for the firmware and IDE have moved. Previous versions of both are still being kept on the Delta Tau website, available through the for firmware (forums account required) and the Software Center Updates page for software. However, the distribution methods for each have changed for future versions.http://forums.deltatau.com/filedepot/ [FILE REMOVED] Future versions of the IDE are available instead from the Omron Industrial Automation website: https://automation.omron.com/en/us/products/family/PMAC%20IDE Future versions of firmware can typically be distributed directly to customers through Omron Distributors rather than being available …

In some cases customers may not be able to connect to Power PMAC ARM through the USB-Serial UART Diagnostic Port over a Micro-USB cable. In this case, after pressing the button to put the port into serial mode, the CPU appears in the device manager as "FX230X Basic UART" instead of receiving a COM port. To fix this issue, install the appropriate version of this driver. (Windows 32 or 64 bit) https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm

Hello, I think a question for the Omron people. Could you please give me the Partnumber of the connector which sits on Location J22? This is the connector connecting the Extended flash board to the main board. Best Regards, Otto

The answer to this is probably quite simple, but is eluding me. Basic setup here, DAC output to servo driver, feedback is a standard quad encoder. after $$$ I want to set the motor position by hand so we issue a: Motor[1].Pos = 10000 The we #1j/, &1#1->I (we are using very simple forward and inverse kinematics eg KinPosAxisX = KinPosMotor1). Everything so far is good. The first time we run the motion program which is equivalent of X(15000) in linear abs mode "send motor #1 to 15000" (I expect the motor to go from the current 10000 to 15000) we see that the motor very quickly goes back to zero (not using the feedrate), then goes to 15000 accor…

1. When running the Power PMAC IDE with EtherCat enabled, a communication error occurred. This situation appears occasionally. (FW2.5.0.4 / IDE 4.3.2.19) 2. When I shut down the Power PMAC IDE when the Ethercat motor makes noise, the noise is gone (FW2.5.4.0 / IDE 4.3.2.19) I think there is a relationship between the Power PMAC IDE and Ethercat. Please explain what kind of relationship it is.

I have now customized a few parameters, how can I graph their variations directly in the drawing function? For example global salm I can't add it manually in the plot, how can I do it? salm is located at p812.

Hello, I am in a bit of a predicament i suppose. I bought second hand this PowerPMAC cpu in the hope I could upgrade my Turbo2 Umac system with it. I tested the board and it seems to work. I used the PowerPmacIP folder "trick" to get the IP address and this was the default 192.168.0.200/255.255.255.0 I was NOT able to log in via the PowerPMAC IDE4, it gives connection failing. Now, I did read a big part of the forum entries here, but not all of them. I can see through the boot.log that the board is actually booting and seems to work. What I do think is happening is that the board is not on the default deltatau root password.…

The current project on which I’m working has involved doing quite a lot of PMAC data gathering and plotting for diagnostic purposes. Sometimes many dozens of plots per day. So, I was wondering about automating this with some sort of batch process. Among the things I’d like to automate would include: Data gathering of various select items Printing PDF’s of the resulting data Time stamping Collecting meta data from the resultant plots Writing data out to network drives I know about scripting the gather engine…and that works fine. But, are there any clean ways to automate the plot program? I suppose one approach might be to …

When i have a fault on a 1S drive I want to read the specifics of the fault from my PMAC. I've toyed with retrieving the Sysmac Error Status (0x2002:01) and similar but it has caused errors and EtherCAT will not activate. Are there any suggestions for doing this? Hopefully there is just an Application Note I've missed. Thanks in advance,

Hi all. I've recently encountered a difficulty while debugging an SSI encoder using the CK3M series with a 1515 axis module (firmware 2.6.1.1) After I set up the parameters according to the manual, he was able to read out the scale position information correctly and mapped it to the motor correctly. I found small fluctuations in the normal open loop curve during the open loop motion, next I found parabolic fluctuations after adjusting the PID parameters and while adjusting the Kvff and other parameters. And then I found in the actual JOG movement, when the motor is closed loop and at rest, the motor is noiseless, when I move the motor the motor emits noise, an…

I'm using a PowerPMAC ARM Quad Core with Acontis EtherCAT master and a Kollmorgen AKD EtherCAT drive. I'm also using a ACC24E3 gatearray for the phase and servo clock. My phase clock is set to 16kHz and servo clock is set to 2kHz and the corresponding settings are set in the Kollmorgen drive (see attached screen shot). When I set the EtherCAT Master Distributed Clock Clock Adjustment setting to "Master Shift", I can activate EtherCAT without errors. As I understand it, in this mode, the EtherCAT master clock is sync'ing to the Reference Clock. But when I set it to "Bus Shift" and change FBUS.Parameter02=1 in the drive, and activate EtherCAT, I get ECAT[0].Error=$98110010 …

Hi I have a Stober motor and Drive Controller that I want to control via EtherCAT from a PowerPMAC UMAC in "Cyclic synchronous velocity mode". I got the motor working fine using the Stober DriveControlSuite software (I can jog the motor and get proper feedback) and I created the needed ESI files for the controller to be used in the PowerPmac IDE. On the PMAC side I have added the device to the EtherCAT topology and all correct PDOs are there and the EtherCAT Master can be activated without any issues. Then I added a new motor to the project and set it up to have "Cyclic Velocity" as Control Type and set the PDO sent to the drive controlle…

Hello, I'm having issues trying to apply a matrix interpolation to my kinematic variables. We are designing a 3-axis robotic arm with a polar coordinate system. Basically, we have 2 15x15 2D matrices measured at the factory that give a radius correction and a Z correction based on current radius and Z, in order to compensate for inaccuracies in axis polynomial definitions and frame deformations. I need to implement these compensation matrices in my kinematics as an addition to my radius and Z. I tried 2 methods which gave me basically the same result : - Using the CompTable by setting virtual motors as sources which are set in inverse and forward kinematics (d…

Is there a way to read a negative capture number via Mi921 into a variable in Power? If I query Mi921 = $0000fffdc66c. As a signed 32-bit, it's -145812. MacroSlaveRead 48, Mi921, M1 returns M1=2147483647, truncating the left most bit. I have tried M1 as M1->Sys.Idata[1] M1->s.user:$f8b4.0.32 M1->sys.fdata[1] M1->sys.Udata[1] M1->sys.ddata[1] as well as copying to a signed integer register or p-variable. In Turbo, this comes across fine as a negative number. Any ideas?

I have been investigating if there is a way to include git submodules in the project. Initially, we'd like to keep tracking of the version of each PLC in a git repository, but that could be useful for other instances (e.g. motion programs, kinematics). I have edited the .ppproj to include the new folder created by the submodule, the same approach described in the topic: I got the same problems, however I figured that if I add the whole path (including the new folder) to the pp_proj.ini, then the PLC is recognized by the PowerPMAC, and could be executed just like any PLC. Unfortunately, on the next time that did a download on the IDE, the pp_proj.ini …

I often use the CX command in the terminal or Watch window to quickly check out a subroutine. But, I've noticed a problem; The example subroutine below will work as expected if you call it from a PLC. But, if instead you call it from the command line: CX R0=1 ; CALL MySubTest Then, the P1 =0 statement will execute, but the P1 = 99 statement does not execute... strange.... open subprog MySubTest(dummy) P1 = 0 call Timer.msec(999) P1 = 99 // why doesnt this execute when we call from terminal? return close I tried replacing the call to the Timer subroutine with a local while loop, and the result is the same. Anyone have any idea why this is ?? A…
