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 am using CK3M as a master to connect to a EtherCAT device. When I close the PowerPMAC IDE or disconnect the IDE from CK3M, the EtherCAT communication lost. Do you have any idea?

A topic on this was started (now closed) in 2016, hence this new topic since things might have changed in the meantime. For early software development and testing of host and/or target controller software, is there a simulator available for Power PMAC hardware such that I am not required to have a physical PMAC controller connected (on my desk)? Any other (best) practices you can share in this area are also very much appreciated. Thank you.

I'm having some trouble to start a stepper motor on channel 5 of a Power Brick LV since the PowerBrick[0] board is not working. Is there a way to start this motor using only the PowerBrick[1] board, perhaps bypassing board 0?

The system principle is as follows: 1: The driver receives an analog voltage signal(0-10V ) and controls the motor speed (issued by the ECAT analog module of CK3E); 2: The hydraulic system pressure sensor outputs a pressure signal (analog voltage 0-10V) to the ECAT analog receiving module of CK3E; At present, I am writing a PLC program that calculates the difference between the output value and the set value, and adjusts the stability of the system; A simple PID controller model is not an excellent approach. I would like to know if it is possible to use the built-in PID algorithm of CK3E to stabilize the system pressure through the input and output of …

L.S., I'm having an issue where after some period of time (often multiple hours) I get an EtherCAT error, i.e., ECAT[0].Error=$1000a. I can't seem to find any documentation on what this error means. I have seen Acontis errors show op in ECAT[i].Error, and a list of those is in the IDE manual, but this value is not amongst those. Can anyone provide me with a clue as to what this error means and/or provide any pointers on how to fix this issue? My setup: CK3E with firmware 2.7.1.0, IDE 4.6.1.12, 2x KEBA ServoOne three-axis drives in CSP mode @ 1 kHz, several Beckhoff I/O terminals and an EL6601 Beckhoff Ethernet terminal.

I've recently upgraded to IDE 4, and have been unable to load my project solution files, despite accepting the file upgrade. The errors I've received are: Error - value cannot be null, parameter name: url The option to use new PDO mapping name has been set to false because this project may have a program that uses existing name format. Please change the option on the property of the project to use the new format. When I try to go to the property settings of the project within the IDE, it says there are no properties. Any idea what this is trying to have me do and how to work around it?

I now have got my Power PMAC 465 Clipper to move my stages smoothly, with one odd feature: I have rotary encoders on the motors of my leadscrew stages with 2000 lines per rev, corresponding to 6 mm/rev of the screw. However, the counts reported by the Power PMAC are off by a factor 3.125 - 100,000 quadrature counts are reported at 24 mm instead of 75 mm. Motor[x].PosSf and its relatives are all set to 1.0. From using other controllers (PMAC2A/PC104, Turbo Clipper) on the same system I positively know that 75 mm is the correct answer. Are there any candidates among the many parameters that could be "used" to create such a discrepancy? Cheers, Jochen

I am currently using a CK3E with PPNC. I am trying to secure the PMAC source code so that when deployed in the field people can not just upload/read our project. Using PPNC means we can not encrypt the project via the PMAC IDE as that breaks communication between PMAC and PPNC. Ive changed the default linux password and that seems to have worked ok but the IDE still stores the credentials defeating the purpose. Can the IDE have the option to not save login credentials? Thanks

Firmware version:2.6.1.0 Controller: CK3M Servo update frequency 4KHz. In my machine B axis is defined as #5-> 1#5->5965233B Coord[1].FRAxes = $1C0 //XYZ Coord[1].FR2Axes=$0 I am commanding as per the following program. G01 B0 F1000 dwell 500 B-10 dwell 500 B0 When I plot graph for commanded velovity and acceleration, it shows velocity is oscillates after acceleration is complete. Due to these fluctuations, acceleration feed forward is also fluctuating and creating noise in the motor. Can you suggest what should the cause?

I currently have a 48V brushless motor connected and I'm supplying 1-phase 220V. The amplifier accepts inputs of 240V 3-phase, 110-240 1-phase, or 48V DC. When I select the amplifier, it requests the input voltage in "VDC". #1: Do I actually have to calculate VDC from VAC? The manuals were unclear about this. I used VDC= VAC*.636 = 220*.636 =139.92VDC or ~140V as seen below. #2: Is my understanding of this amplifier correct...am I outputting 48V DC to my motor as long as I set PwmSf correctly? Motor1.PwmSf = 0.95 * 16384 * 48V / 140V = 5336.5

We have been using sub programs for common functions inside the kinematics, this has worked very well for several years, we recently started using the ARM processor and the kinematics will occasionally run amok. My question is. Can you use sub programs inside kinematics? If you can, what limitations are imposed?

Power PMAC 465 CPU is restarting on its own randomly. there is no indication of any PWR FAIL or WatchDog also on the CPU indicators LED's. The communication is lost suddenly and it is restoring to normal after 10 to 30 seconds. Is there any particular reason ? Where shall i find the latest firmware for 465 CPU , so that i can try running the same project with latest firmware. IDE used is Ver3.

I need to support comm over multiple (2-3?) old school RS232 serial ports on CK3M processor. I see a 10-year old app note "Serial comm on PowerPmac" but, nothing up to date. Has anyone successfully implemented this lately ? I am considering both USB hub with multiple serial/usb adapters or perhaps a network type adapter like those made by Lantronix and others. Any advice or comments ? This application only needs modest bandwidth, communicating with some peripherals. C- libraries seem able to do the job...but, today maybe PYSerial or ??? -thanks in advance

Is anyone else seeing a CPU leak when using the Power PMAC IDE versions 4.6.0 and 4.6.1 Motor Definition screens? I seem to be able to trigger the issue everytime I go into the new Motor Definition screen's Commission screen and then open up the Advanced section and pick any category in the drop-down except for the original Addressing. As soon as you do this, the CPU seems to go into some kind of infinite loop behavior and the IDE will jump from using 5-15% of my CPU to about 25-35%. Then, each time, you pick a new category from the dropdown, CPU usage will jump by another 25% until it is using 95-99% of my CPU in the task manager and then continue with that behav…

Hi, We test sigriner ethercat drive with CK3E. But IDE can't assign PDO to motor parameter using setup tool. 1. Scan is OK. 2. PDO Mapping is OK. 3. Motor Setup is Fail. 4. I try assign PDO manually. than It operate well. ! Other Drives was OK (Panasonic, Servotronix, etc...) ! Other Master(ACS) operating OK. (with Sigriner) ! I guess IDE have parsing problem about Sigriner's XML. ! I wonder IDE's parsing factor (ex : XML's Index, sub Index...) * Attach my XML (CDHD : assign ok, Sigriner : assign fail) CDHD2_OnSys.xml step_an6_ethercat_v0_25_0.xml

I am trying to convert from a Turbo PMAC2 Clipper to a PowerPMAC 465 Clipper (as a current stand-in for a CK3C AX1100 Clipper, which is to replace the Turbo Clipper for us). I have cut the Turbo program down to 3 small PLCs, a macro definition file and a machine-specific paramweter definition file. My hardware downstream from the Clipper consists of 3 leadscrew stages with stepper motor (Schneider M-2218-3.0) and amplifier (IMS IM483H Plus), with rotary encoders on the motors (2000 lines/rev, quadrature). With no other custom additions to my PowerPMAC project, I can can build and download into my Power Clipper seemingly without errors. However, when I power up…

Hi everyone, I search how can i command manually a motor (link with a PowerPmac). Indeed, I'm not an expert on this subject. That's why i ask this question. I have already different PLC which command the motor, but that's automatically and i didn't write this program. As consequence, i don't know how i must program for pilot manually a motor.
