I am having issues in using my ACC-11E 24In/24Out card. I have mapped ptr vars to the bits by using the suggested m var definitions document, but I can't get an LED to turn on on my outputs (simple test to see if I'm addressing the board properly...). Here is how my card is configured: E1 (ON) E2-E4 (OFF) E5 (2-3) E6A-E6H (1-2) On a turbo system this would start at: Y:$078C00 I believe. For lack of any other documentation (That I am aware of) I assigned the suggested mvar definitions for IO card 0, such as: "ptr IoCard0Pt00->u.io:$A00000.8.1; // I/O Card 0 I/O00" Now using the terminal I'm trying to write 1 to the different addresses and nothing see…

Who know how to set up PPmac's External Time-Base Signal for electronic Cams for detail? Since I know only the parameter of Coord[x].pDesTimeBase. Marry Christmas

I know this is probably a silly question, but I've hunted high and low and can't find an answer. How do I automatically have the Ppmac run a script PLC at startup? In the Turbo there was an i-variable to do this, so I assumed there would be something in the Sys data structure to set script PLC startup behavior. Ideally what I'd like is to automatically start one script PLC, and have that start all the other script PLCs I need for our process. I don't necessarily want to start all PLCs when the processor is reset or powered up. Thanks

I've created an HMI application in VB 2008 that connects with a Power Pmac using the ComLib. I'm creating multible connection objects on multiple HMI computers and if I run the multiple apps at the same time, then some connections fail. But individually they work ok. Is there a limit to the number of connection objects that I can create? We also have multiple developers writing code in the IDE. Does that effect the number of ComLib connection objects? Thanks, Rick

I'm using VB 2008 to communicate with a Power Pmac. I declare an object to the PowerPmacComLib library, and open an asynchronous connection. I created a function for getting variable values, and a sub for setting variable values on the Power Pmac, which use the same connection. When using the SetVariable sub, it should return a null string when the GetResponse method succeeds. But about 1 out of 10 times(and it varies), I will get the results of a GetVariable function call which apparenty is being issued at the same time. So instead of a null string, I get a string of variable values seperated by a delimiter. The SetVariable/GetVariable calls are being made from…

Power PMAC uses a customized version of Debian Xenomai. Any software that runs on Debian should run on Power PMAC.

Hi, I am unable to telnet into my PPMAC host -- I get a connection refused error. PPMAC board is set to default IP address of 192.168.0.200. I can reach it via ping, so I am confused as to what is wrong. Please see output below. I am running under linux from the command line. The IP addtress of the linux host is 192.168.0.100 and I have a direct connection using a crossover cable to the PPMAC board. The connection refused response comes back immediately, there is no delay. Any help you can give me is appreciated.

What happens with a blended move sequence of let's say move 1 and move 2? When move 1 blends to move 2 it will use the ta and ts of move two for the blending. When ta1 + ts1 = ta2 + ts2. Here is an example program and plot. open prog 6 home 1..2 p2=1 Gather.Enable=2 dwell1 inc linear frax (x,z) tm(0) ts(0) ta(15) ts(5) td(35) // when Coord[].SegMoveTime = 0 to blend into next move td + ts of this move must be >= ta + ts of following move // even though the ta + ts of the following move is used in the blending // Note when Coord[].SegMoveTime > 0 this constraint is relaxed z-2000 ta(30) ts(10) td(10) // to blend…

my routine realtimeinterrupt_plcc() only runs once when I set UserAlgo.Rticplc=1. Each time I set UserAlgo.Rticplc=1 it will run just once and stop. What do I need to do to have it run continually?

Hello, Do you guys have any issues with the compile time on the IDE? I have a Pentium 4 (D) 2.8GHz machine and it takes at least a minute to compile and download a very minimal C application. I know this is an older machine, but on linux a GCC session normally compiles in less than a dozen seconds. I don't know if this is my machine or if the IDE is that slow. My other applications seem to run at a decent speed. My IDE version is 7/22/2010 and the version is 1.1.0.26 Thanks, KEJR

1. I have written a Windows program to communicate with the Power PMAC via Telnet. I can connect and I get the response "OK" after connecting, but there is no prompt to enter username or password. Do I have to do any "do, don't, will, won't" telnet handshaking? Or am I missing something else? 2. I used to use the PMAC.DLL to access the PMACGetResponseA function for my HMI. What is the equivalent and in which DLL for PowerPMAC? 3. Where is the communication library I see reference to on the forum?

I have found that having a script PLC disable itself fails when using symbolic names. Please help, I was looking forward to never giving PLCs numbers ever again! example code that works as a one shot deal: open plc 1 send 1 "Starting Init PLC ...1" disable plc 1 close The following code executes continuously (rather nasty without a delay in there...) open plc InitPLC send 1 "Starting Init PLC ...1" disable plc InitPLC close Am I doing anything wrong, or is this a bug?

I haven't prettied up this code yet, but I thought I'd post it as it could be real useful for someone doing general purpose Xenomai programming that just needs to create a bunch of periodic threads. I found that there weren't alot of Xenomai example programs that were simple and used the POSIX skin. This code gives the following: - C routine for getting time in seconds (same result as in script languages) - "Sendf()" ... DT's "Send()" meets "Printf()" - CreateThread() routine that deals with the nasty POSIX calls for you Any feedback is welcome as I would like to improve my code if there are mistakes. To use this code copy it into your "Background Program…

I've created a series of ptr statements in a global definitions.pmh file formatted as follows: ptr hmi_do_WH1UprGripRelease->u.user:$108.31.1; The Byte Offsets are sequential and compile up to the previous statement. But when I increment up to the next Byte Offset like: ptr hmi_do_WH1LwrGripRelease->u.user:$112.0.1; It generates a compile error. If I change the 112 to a 0, then it compiles to up to the next byte offset over 108. If I keep changing the over 108 numbers to lower numbers, the error contiues to move down the list. Is 108 the limit for the byte offset for unsigned user data? Rick

I've declared a series of pointers to Sys.Idata and Sys.Fdata variables. I've declared the pointers to the data in a specific order, but the type order mixed matched. When I issure a GetResponse block read, and reference a pointer (example. GetResponse(PointerName,100) ) as the starting point, it seems to return the values in the order that the pointers were declared. Is that always the case? Or would I be better to organize the Sys.Idata and Sys.Fdata seperately and read them as 2 GetResponse commands.

When you want to start a CPLC from the IDE terminal you enter UserAlgo.RtiCplc = 1 and when you want to stop the execution you enter UserAlgo.RtiCplc = 0. The same is true for background by using the structure UserAlgo.BgCplc[n] where n is the plc number. If you want a script PLC to enable or disable a CPLC then you can directly use these structures in the script PLC as you use them in the terminal. If you want a CApp to enable or disable a CPLC then you must send these structures using the API GetResponse(), Command(), or SetPmacVar() so that it passes through the interpreter/parser. For example: Command("UserAlgo.RtiCplc=1"); In a CApp you are not allowed…
