Hi, I've set up a network folder on my PowerPMAC and when I try to write files to it via BGCPLC, the controller goes into WatchDog. I did a more simplistic test, outside the PMAC environment, by creating a C program and compiling it in the controller's Linux environment. When running, the same problem occurs (the controller goes into WatchDog). Here is the program used: #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { FILE *fp; int i = 0; fp = fopen("/mnt/data/test.csv", "w"); printf("Ok 0\n"); if (fp == NULL) { printf("Fail\n"); return 0; } printf("Ok 1\n"); for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) { …

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?

Is there a UMAC accessory module to input temperature sensors to UMAC? Want to measure air temperature from 15 to 25 degrees C, probably with a thermistor.

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 add an acc-11e I/O board to my Power Pmac Umac style Rack. When I install the acc-11e it is not recognized by the system even after $$$***. I tried with an ACC-65E picked up perfectly but the ACC11e was not recognized. using the current version of the power PMAC IDE Any Thoughts?

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 ; …

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…

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!

I am back at setting up motors in the Power PMAC IDE. Rather than IDE 4.4.0.99 and a PowerPMAC 465 Clipper with a PowerPC,APM86xxx CPU and firmware 2.5.2.0, I am now using 4.6.0.14 and a CK3C AX1100 with an arm.LS1021A CPU and firmware version 2.7.1,0. My system uses IM483H-Plus amplifiers operating in torque mode and issuing step & direction control signals, Schneider M-2218-3.0 and M-2231-3.0 stepper motors with 200 full steps per rev, and US Digital E6 rotary encoders with 2000 lines/rev and quadrature. I use a single feedback type setup. The amplifier goes in fine. The motor shows a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark for an error message saying…

Hi, I'm tryng to pass a string as parameter to "system" command in a PLC like this: open plc SYSLOG_TEST system "logger -i -p user.debug -t test_plc %s", "Testing syslog on Delta Tau" disable plc SYSLOG_TEST close I'm getting this error: ...\21-SyslogTest.plc(30,1) : Error : ( error #31) data error in equation : system "logger -i -p user.debug -t test_plc %s", "Testing syslog on Delta Tau" But, at the POWER PMAC SOFTWARE REFERENCE MANUAL, the "system" command description says this: Firmware version: 2.6.0.0 What am I doing wrong?

Hello, Omron don't have forum for their products, so I put here the problems with its. Unfortunately, the UPS Omron S8BA is not compatible with PLC SIMATIC ET 200SP Open Controllers + Siemens IPC in System 24V with earth ground common with 0 VDC (-24V named sometimes). Is just compatible with 24V floating ground system. If you choose to put UPS Omron S8BA in a system 24V with earth ground common with 0 VDC and with the cable USB that communicate with IPC / PC where is installed Power Attendant Lite, then the UPS Control Unit won't start, but if you disconnect the communication cable RS232-USB, the UPS will start. Big Attention!!! If the communication cable RS232-U…
