Can anyone recommend an RPC (Remote Procedure Call) package for communicating between Linux and Windows? Polling for infrequent changes through GPascii seems less than desirable. Thx

How do I implement an early exit from a sub procedure (in a motion program)? I can't get it to work or the script parser can't handle it. I want the following: sub: MoveDOffLimit(ID, PerEU, HomeVel, &Error) local iLim; if (AxisSimulate(ID)) return; callsub sub.GetDOnLimit(ID, &iLim); if (iLim) // Code removed return; This gave error "invalid parameter number in equation : R0=ID CALLSUB 10003 iLim=R1" I thought that was a hint to move iLim... sub: MoveDOffLimit(ID, PerEU, HomeVel, &Error) if (AxisSimulate(ID)) return; local iLim; callsub sub.GetDOnLimit(ID, &iLim); if (iLim) // Code removed return; but that just gave error "inv…

Most or all of the internal Power PMAC data structures are accessible via gpascii. For example, Motor[3].JogSpeed will be correctly reported when running gpascii -2 or within the IDE terminal window. Likewise (with the side effect of polluting the global name space) we are able to create global P and M variables that gpascii can translate correctly. However, what would really be nice would be to have the same gpascii translation capability with our user-defined structures that we have with the Delta Tau defined internal structures. Example: typedef struct { int PLCIndex; double defaultSpeed; int param1; } MY_AXIS_DATA; typedef struct { i…

Hello, I'm currently using the Position-Following mode to implement a Jog/Increment Handwheel. I'm enabling following in normal mode (Motor[x].MasterCtrl = 1). I'm running into two issues with its behavior. 1. Whenever I reverse direction of the handwheel, I get an offset that occurs for the first move only. As an example, if I scale the MasterPosSf such that one click of the handwheel = .1mm of slave movement, as I increment away from zero I get perfect .1mm steps. As soon as I reverse direction the first move overshoots by an offset value of .0249mm. The next moves in the continued direction are again exactly .1mm, but this offset value is retained. When I return…

My system has an ACC 5E and two ACC-24E3A boards. I would like to set this up like this: Gate2[0].PhaseServoDir=3 // Not using this as a macro card, just I/O, may remove at some future point Gate3[0].PhaseServoDir=0 // Clock source for servos Gate3[1].PhaseServoDir=3 // external clock form first 24E3A The problem is that on reset (power up or $$$) it always reverts to: Gate2[0].PhaseServoDir=0 Gate3[0].PhaseServoDir=3 Gate3[1].PhaseServoDir=3 Is there a way to make the PPmac do this?

I have a problem on a PPMAC where the 'save' command does not function. The pp_save.tpl file exists in the configuration directory of the project, and the file content shows numerous 'backup' command calls. (I should mention that this file is one that I copied from an earlier project, which I'm assuming was created by the IDE as default, because I didn't create it. I copied the file because when I create a new project, there is no .tpl file in the configuration directory, only the pp_save.cfg file.) The pp_save.cfg is never being written to. The 'save' command issued from the terminal appears to go through a normal cycle and shows 'save complete', yet the file remains em…

Hello Everyone, There is a Update in the V1.4 Firmware talking in the Power PMAC Software Reference Manual, it's "Fixed error trapping of invalid system commands by gpascii utility". What's problem will be cause by this error if using V1.3 Firmware? If new communication can't be established by GPASCII command,and tell you "Gpascii input/output error",is't possible cause by this error? Thanks

Although in Power PMAC there are structure names defined for most of the IO devices, once in a while user has to find out the corresponding Power PMAC address for a known Turbo PMAC address. The following software will convert the addresses for you: [attachment=1382:name] examples of address which you can input: 78C00 $78C00 Y:$78C00,7 Y:$78C00,0,8

Configuring ethernet on the PowerPMAC. The network configuration for PowerPMAC is stored in the /opt/etc/network/interfaces file. This file is modified by the IDE when you change the network settings through the IDE. The boot scripts copy the /opt/etc/network/interfaces file tom /etc on boot. If you wish to edit these settings modify the /opt/etc/network/interfaces By default the file looks like below. EXAMPLE: Default auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.200 auto eth0 If you wish to be able to access other networks and you have a router you typically need to …

Is there anything that would cause axis values returned from the kinematic routines to be incorrect. Not sure what caused this, and rebooting the Pmac fixed it, but when I queried the axis positions from the terminal ("&1p"), they were clearly wrong. I also set P variables equal to the axis and motor positions at the end of the kinematic routines and monitored those in the watch window, and those reported the correct positions! So I know the kinematics were working properly, the values just seemed to get mis-reported to the system. The only thing I did before experiencing this problem was a script PLC download, after that both kinematic routines reported the s…

Hello, i need to get data, sampled in a ppmac, to a programm written in visual basic. Problem is: i either need to get a lot of data at a time (like 40000 values) or i need to get the data transfered real fast (in the order of the ServoPeriod or 100 times the servoPeriod). I want to display data in real time resolution sampled at 5kHz. Hope there is a possibility. Thank You in advance

Hello, i only seem to be able to change the value of the Acc24E3[0].ServoClockDiv via Tool->System Setup. Changes via the terminal doesn't seem to apply. The Startvalue defined in the setup.pmh is overwritten immediatly. i have to change the value permanently with a terminal command or setup.pmh library.

I have a PPMAC system with 2 Acc24E3 cards; the feedback encoders are 2000 cnt/mm quadrature encoders. We also have an Acc24E2 card in the same rack. I found that we started to loose encoder counts at a motor velocity of approximately 1400mm/sec on the E3 card. Putting the same encoder on the E2 cards we didn't loose counts until about 2000mm/sec. After re-reading the E3 manual I discovered the Gate3[x].EncClockDiv parameter and set it from 5 to 4; now the E3 encoders don't loose counts until about 1900 mm/sec (which is better for our process, 1400mm/sec is too close to where our process wants to run). My question is: knowing that you rarely get something for …
