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

I'm working on the integration of SmarAct SDC2 (driver for piezo actuators) to the Power Pmac controller. The piezo stage has a coupled sinusoidal encoder that is used to close the position loop in the SDC2 driver. The position setpoint is performed using pulses and direction signals up to 5 MHz. I configured the Power Pmac according to the "Setting Up Power PMAC for Pulse-and-Direction Control" section of the user manual and use "Gate3[0].Chan[0].TimerMode = 3 and Gate3[0]. Chan[0].TimerA" as feedback (I intend to use SDC2's quadrature output to confirm the position). I also set JogTA and JogTs to 0 to eliminate S-curve generation in Pmac (SDC2 performs this proc…

I have code using Coord[X].NCalc and Coord[X].LookaheadFlush to determine when the end of the path is calculated. Using the sys.time I trigger an event a certain amount of time before the machine physically reaches the end of the path. I have used this code before and had no problems however with this machine it fails about 5% of the time. This code is in a realtime routine that runs at a frequency of 2khz. I can't seem to figure out what would cause this to not work sometimes. I attached the motion program. Coord[1].LHSize=2000 Coord[1].LHDistance=200 Coord[1].SegMoveTime=1 LHDtime = 200; if (Coord[1].NCalc == 200 && Co…

Where does the Servo Analyzer inject the disturbance signal? Specifically is it before or after the trajectory filter? Similarly is the Motor[x]/CompDesPos before or after the trajectory filter?

Since my Power PMAC IDE 4.5.2.9 installation I'm not able to work with Plot and Scope. I can open and attache variables to read but I can't stay online with them I ever uninstalled all application and remove all registries from system, but after reinstallation i face the same issues again. Have ever someone faced this issue ? Can I solve it ?

I'm currently trying to set up a system with a Power Brick AC controller which is a few years old (PowerPC 460EX, firmware 2.3.2.5), and according to the software reference manual, the Gate3[0].AdcAmpStrobe value should default to $FFFFFD on the Power Brick systems. When it is freshly reset to factory default settings ($$$***), it seems to be doing this as expected, but as soon as I send a "BrickAC.Reset = 1" command (for example in the PowerOnResetPLC in the standard power brick template project), the Gate3[0].AdcAmpStrobe value changes through a rapid sequence of values over about half a second before settling at $800001. If I set BrickAC.Monitor =1, the Gate…

Hi CK3M(2.6.1.0) IDE(4.6.0.14) EtherCAT slave - CDHD2 EtherCAT master stopped when I close PowerPMAC IDE. for detail - 1) "ECAT RESET" send command using terminal. 2) finish setup 3) Servo on EtherCAT motor. 4) close IDE Close IDE after using the "ECAT RESET" command as shown in the above procedure, The EtherCAT master stop. Without "ECAT RESET" That is okay. No problem. A similar phenomenon has occurred in several companies. That's all I've identified. It seems that the cause of this problem needs to be found and corrected. Thanks

We have a CK3E (FW 2.7.0.0) with 31 EtherCAT slaves attached in a tree topology. In case a station is lost due to cable problems or power loss we would like to identify where in the tree the problem occurs. Our code is all in BGCPLCs, so a solution using C language constructs is desirable. I have code that works: for (j=0; j<31; j++) { pshm->P[10] = j; Command ("L0 = P10"); Command ("P11 = ECAT[0].Slave[L0].Online"); if (! pshm->P[11]) { fault handling } } Unfortunately it is very compute intensive, ~600us to complete the loop. Given all the information gathering in Acontis, is there a PMAC va…

For many years now we have been operating our 460 UMAC with Phase/Servo/RTI at 16/8/4 KHz with near flawless operation. Admittedly, on some certain complex part programs the 460 will throw an insufficient calculation time error. Since implementing the Quad core, the same settings have worked well and have eliminated all instances of insufficient calculation time errors. However in trying to increase performance I have increased the clocks to 32/16/8, but I now get a burst of errors on startup. These can be cleared and the system almost works, however opening the IDE (4.5.2.9) the machine crashes hard with Phase/Servo/RTI errors. Looking at task manager does not show any u…

When attempting to scan an EtherCAT network consisting of: Beckhoff EK1100-EL9510-EL3356 I get the following EC-Engineer error messages: I’ve tried reloading the ESI file (EL9xxx.xml), resetting Ecat, etc… all to no avail. If I remove the EL9510 (power insertion module) the network will scan and work normally. Any advice on how to fix this would be much appreciated!! System: CK3M ver. 2.6.1.0, IDE ver 4.5.2.9

The Gate Compare screen is pretty useful. But, it would be even more useful if one could add new columns using the same Gate[index], but different Chan#. Is this possible, somehow? (IDE ver. 4.5.2.9) Thanks in advance !!

Hi, We have a mature project developed on UMAC 465 fw 2.1.1.3 and IDE 2.1.0.107. The ecattypedsdo command worked as advertised on that project. We are now porting the project to CK3E fw 2.6.1.1 and IDE 4.6.0.14. Anytime I issue ecattypedsdo in this environment I get an error message: L0=ecattypedsdo(0,22,1,$361a,0,0,4) requested data size: 4 and received data size: 20 do not match This happens regardless of the slave and object size requested. When I change the requested size to 20 bytes the command succeeds, but the results appear to be the command parameters with no useful data. The following should return DC bus voltage for a Kollmorgen AKD: …

Hi Some time Some motor not moving because coordinate feed 0%. This problem is reproduced in the following situations: - Incorrect command is issued to show the value of array data 'h' is included in the name of the array , and is recognized as this "Hold" command. - It is same when I using terminal ( feed will go to zero) So I didn't use parameter information. but the function is very useful. Is there a solution? Thank you. jaehyuk

Want use one existing Geo Brick GBL8-F3-557-0908C230 with PMAC-NC. Seems the DPRAM is required for that, wonder if I able to order some additional card to enable that option? (Or that is something only come with different main board) Thanks and regards, Daniel

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

Hi, I'm trying to mount a Windows shared folder on /tmp/test folder of my Delta Tau. The controller and computer are connected trough a ethernet cable in a LAN configuration (and I can ping the controller from the Windows PC). I'm executing the following command on Delta Tau to mount the Windows shared folder: mount.cifs -o user=nom.comum //192.168.0.201/DeltaTau /tmp/test But the command response: mount error(112): Host is down Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) I think there's is a problem with the mount.cifs version (that is 6.4), because I have another controller with the mount.cifs at the 6.7 version.

I'm experimenting with the trajectory pre-filter in the interactive position loop tuning tool. I have an encoder on my end effector that is measuring the resonance I am trying to get rid of, and it is plugged into another motor encoder input on the PMAC. Is it possible to plot this encoder data in the tuning tool graph? In short, I'm using the tuning tool on Motor 3, but would like to also plot the encoder input from Motor 4. Thanks

Our PowerBrickContoller's model P/N is PBC8-H24-330-AE00300 (manufactured in 2019), the amplifier is GLENTEK's SMC 9G16-23-001-AA100-A1-1-2. The user manual (version 2017) only shows how to configure common Non-Commutated Motor Setup Elements. But we need PowerBrickContoller to commutate, and the amplifier to do the close current loop. And the user manual (version 2022.7.28) explained the command how to configure that PBC to do the commutation, and the amplifier to do the close current loop. But we still can't control the amplifier, the voltage between DACA+ and GND in AMP connector looked like square wave form but not the sin wave form as we expected. Meanwhile, the mot…
