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 have a question about how to use Dynamic Break in TurboPMAC, ACC-24E2 + ServoTronix CDHD PWM Drive combination. In this project, we plan to use a combination of PowerPMAC (ArmCPU) and ACC-24E3 ServoTronix CDHD PWM Drive. It seems that there are parts that change as the CPU changes. When I searched the SRM document, it was identified as the AdcStrobe variable when using Gate1 and the AdcAmpCtrl variable in the case of Gate3. Please inquire about how to use this function. Documents previously referenced are attached separately. ServiceChannelCommand.txt, ServiceChannelQuery.txt The code I used based on the attached document is as follow…

Hi, I would like to ask how to change the resolver direction in PowerBrick LV. I followed the User's Manual: Motor[].PhaseOffset = – present value Motor[].PwmSf = – present value PowerBrick[].Chan[].EncCtrl = the opposite decode of the present value (e.g. 7 or 3) If using resolver or halls absolute power-on phasing: Motor[].AbsPhasePosSf = – present value Motor[].AbsPhasePosOffset = 2048 – present value If using resolver absolute power-on position: Motor[].AbsPosSf = – present value After that, I downloaded the code, read absolute position, did manual phasing. Phasing successfully However, the resolver direction did not change. Do you have any id…

Hello. I'm using PMac APM CPU (485). I need to sizing up my memory, because i need to download 500MB size NC-Code. After i size up memory to 510MB, Download, Save, ReBoot, WatchDog has red light, and My Power PMac doesn't working. Can't connect by PMac IDE. i tried to initialize PPMac, by taking off my Axis Control Card, Reboot. but it does not working. Is there anyway to initialize my Power PMac? I can't use pmac ide S/W Because, in PMac IDE, i can't connect to my PPMac. i ping to 192.168.0.200 by CMD. it was responded. if anyone has anything solution about this, le…

Dear All, I'm trying to save a project after building and downloading successfully. Unfortunately, it throws a list of error stating that the files are READ-ONLY. Also the variables created are accessible until PMAC is powered off. Once powered OFF all the parameters are missing. Can I know what causes these issues? Thank you.

I have a lathe project where the operator wants the zero position to be in the middle of the chuck and the home position to be at the beginning of the travel where the home switch is. I currently have it programmed to perform a home search move until it hits the home switch but then the zero is not in the center where they want it. Is there an effective way to do this without installing a switch in the middle of the travel? thank you

The homing reference index of Motor[4] is changed to the TTL signal accessed by Acc24E3[1].Chan[0]; pCaptFlag and pCaptPos change from Acc24E3[0].Chan[3] to Acc24E3[1].Chan[0] as the reference signal, the configuration is as follows: Motor[4].pCaptFlag=Acc24E3[1].Chan[0].Status.a //Modified Motor[4].pCaptPos=Acc24E3[1].Chan[0].HomeCapt.a//Modified EncTable[4].pEnc = Gate3[0].Chan[3].ServoCapt.a EncTable[4].pEnc1 = Gate3[0].Chan[3].AtanSumOfSqr.a Motor[4].pEnc = EncTable[4].a; Motor[4.pEnc2 = EncTable[4].a; Motor[4].pEncCtrl =Acc24E3[0].Chan[3].OutCtrl.a Motor[4].pEncStatus=Acc24E3[0].Chan[3].Status.a The bad problem is…

It appears PPMAC originally did not support negative case constants in switch structures. However, the firmware update history for V2.5 Release Updates (August 2018) includes the following note: But when I try to use code such as the following, I get a Syntax Error on the minus sign: Has the IDE just not been updated to support this change yet? Is there a different syntax I should use here? Or am I misreading the history note and this is actually not supported?

I am troubleshooting an issue related to a servo motor which we use to drive a monochromator Bragg axis. At a specific range of the motion, we observe that the x-ray beam jitters possibly due to motor oscillation. The motor is driven by an external amplifier and we use power PMAC for torque control. The motion is typically carried out by executing a motion program. We first observe the issue with our data. Afterwards we jogged the motor in the questionable range and was able to narrow down on the range where we see the oscillation. The x-ray beam stabilize upon killing power to the motor. I am guessing that the motor is trying to correct its position during this range. In…

I remember there is a setting to reduce the velocity in all motors but I can't find it in the manuals. All the motors are moving slowly so I suspect someone set this in the terminal. Thanks.

Dear All, I'm working on a three axes system with two vector feedrate linear axes (X&Z) and one rotary C axis. I would like to know how to set the three axes to move synchronised based on a given feedrate? Currently if running C-axis alone, provides a max feedrate of 1 motor unit/ min. Can anyone suggest the best practice to assign and synchronize axes motion? Thank you.

I am running a real time PLC that is stuffing position data into registers that I can read from later. I'd like to filter the positions to take random out . My plan was to make a simple average. Is there a feature in PowerPMAC that can already do this for me, or do I need to roll my own? How fast is the RTI PLC operating (or how can I look it up on my machine?). I am reading the data around 2000 Hz, so I need to make sure my running average is a lot faster than that.

Is there a better way to save normal user variables other than either adding them to the pp_custom_save.tpl or going into the ppmac, uploading the pp_save.tpl, modifying it, and downloading it? Sina posted directions to upload the pp_save.tpl from the IDE a couple of years ago, but it no longer seems to work.

This is going to get a little long in the tooth, my apologies... I have converted Turbo PMAC (Clipper) software to Power PMAC for use with CK3M as I've been told Clippers are very hard to get anymore. Traditionally we used the Restore menu option in PEWIN32Pro to load a single .CFG file we update (there are actually several files for different machine variations we sell). We never did get into include-files, so everything is self contained in a single .CFG. As you can probably imagine, this makes quick edits/variable updates quite easy for non-experts to accomplish. As we are moving toward using Power PMAC in our machines, I'm wondering about best practices for manag…

I was wondering if any users have successfully tunnelled TCP traffic over PPmac Acontis master? We would like to use drive mfg's commissioning tools that already support this connectivity. Beckhoff makes the claim that this "EoE" method is fully supported in EtherCAT. What's the real-world situation here? Thanks!
