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

Hi, when we run "ecat reset" in the terminal, it reports an error: error#20: illegal cmd: ecat 3 Could you give us some insights in the error?

Not often and at random, we get an Ecat[0].Error = 1000A. We are configured for acontis and all their error codes are 98XXXXXX, the closest acontis error code is: EC_E_NOMEMORY 0x9811000A: CFG: No memory left (e.g. memory full / fragmented)) This is the only error we get that is not the full error code and it does not appear to do anything with memory. I believe this error code means something different that is not noted under the acontis error code list. Has anyone else came across something similar???

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.

Hello, Is there a straightforward way of disabling telnet on PowerPMAC products? We are looking to increase the cybersecurity of our units. I understand that the IDE and its tools all use ssh, so we wouldn't lose any functionality if telnet wasn't available? Thanks, James

The CK3M reports the Sys.RtIntErrorCtr error on startup. This error cannot be cleared with $$$***. The software manual doesn't discuss the possible cause for this error. Please advice on how to clear it, and what are the possible reasons? Thanks!

We have an older model of PowerPMAC (Linux powerpmac 2.6.30.3) running firmware 1.6.1.181 We are able to interact with it using a modern version of PowerPMAC IDE (4.6.2.15), to read and change variables for example, but we are unable to use the Gather tool. The tool window will open and the first step of running the gather appears to work. However, when we attempt the next step of uploading the gathered data, the program just hangs indefinitely. On older versions of the IDE (eg 2.0.0.25) the Gather tool window opens, but then immediately closes. Is this problem known about and is there a solution? Thanks for any help, James

I have the need for a continuous gather recording. What's the best way to get this stream to a computer, on the network? I was thinking of writing a C program to read from the gather circular buffer, then passing that to a circular buffer in the C program (I would like more buffer time that the memory available to gather can accommodate), in chunks, then sending chunks from there to the host computer, via TCP/IP. If the client on host computer isn't connected, then they just get dropped. Is this a sane approach? Is there an "easy" way that I'm not aware of?

In position-compare triggering, I need to handle a range of 300 mm worth of quadrature encoder counts of 0.1 micron, i.e., 3 million. The trigger positions need to be stuffed into Gate3[0].Chan[1].CompA and .CompB for the leading and trailing edges of the TTL pulses. The units of CompA and CompB are 1/4096th of an encoder count, leaving a range of 20 bits for the full encoder counts, or about 1 million. With the Turbo PMAC family, I had 24 bits for a full range of 16 million plus. My encoder settings are Gate3[0].Chan[j].EncCtrl=3 or 7 (j=0, 1). Now the Power PMAC Software Reference Manual says this, under Gate3[i].Chan[j].CompA (last paragraph): In the Scri…

I am trying to get triggering on hardware position converted from Turbo PMAC to Power PMAC. On Turbo PMAC I use the 24-bit full encoder counts registers M108 or M208. This gives me a range of 16,000,000+ encoder counts, sufficient for 300 mm of counts at 0.1 micron/count. I do not bother with the fractional counts in M188 and M288. Now, if I understand the Power PMAC User Manual correctly, I have to put my trigger position into Gate3[0].Chan[j].CompA in units of 1/4096 encoder counts and am thus limited to just over 1,000,000 full encoder counts range (20 bits rather than Turbo's 24). So I essentially write CompA = (myTrigPosition + HomeOffset) * 4096 ; …

I can't seem to get the actual torque values to come in as a 16 bit signed value through PDO mapping. If the torque is a negative number it rolls over and I get some large value. The only way I can seem to make it work is to bring in the actual torque through the encoder conversion table and scale it there and just read the DeltaPos value. Is this the best method or is there a way to bring this PDO in as a 16 bit signed number?

Hello, I'm trying to use PowerPMAC as a high frequency pulse generator through PFM. I'm using a custom servo loop, where I monitor the positioning error of my motor and calculate what the PFM output frequency should be so that enough pulses are generated for it to reach the desired position in the next servo cycle, saturating at 5 MHz. Here is the code: double custom_pfm(struct MotorData *Mptr) { // Auxiliar variables double servo_out, servo_period, pfm_clk_freq, pos_error; unsigned int pfm_clock_div; volatile GateArray3 *Gate3; // If closed loop is enabled if (Mptr->ClosedLoop == 1) { // Calculates position error relativ…

it is possible to use the READ command to send parameters to subroutines. For example G04 X10.5 can be used to create a Dwell by creating a program 1000 with a line 4000. G04 in the main program jumps to the that subprogram line then using a READ(X) command that will assign D27=10.5 then do a DWELL(D27*1000) to create a 10.5 second dwell. This is Great but I want to use a T value but the default function of T is to call subprogram 1004. This works OK when you are using T to define a Tool Pocket but not so well when T defines a Tool Number between 1-999. It is not practical to create a subprogram with entries for all 1000 possible tool numbers when practically only …

I am working on converting my Turbo PMAC software to Power PMAC and have made some good progress. My application program starts, initialized the 3-stage system (Cartesian x, y z) and makes abs-linear moves, abs-rapid moves and velocity jog oves just fine. Homing is also under control. My problem is that as soon as I take a 1 minute break before asking for the next move, the controller does not respond any longer - actually, no command goes through to the controller. I have a Power PMAC Clipper 465. My control program sits on a Windows 10 laptop. I use the libssh2 implementation from Observatory Sciences to let my control program talk to the PMAC. OF the man…
