Hi, I know that for a PLC, I can look at Y:$0031xx,22 to see if a PLC is running (1=disabled, xx is the PLC number in Hex). Is there a similar register for PLCCs? I couldn't find it in the memory map. Thanks,

I have a a lot of trouble trying to tune a cross coupled motors correctly. X axis consists of #7 real motor and #1 imaginary. C axis consists of #8real motor and #2 imaginary. I built a download file to of the PID terms for all four axes. I work on tuning axis each paired axis like I normally do with just a single axis. I tune axes #7 and #1 as a pair. Then I tune axes #8 and #2 as a pair, then go back and forth. I can run up to about 30"/sec max. with the machine. I have .25um scales. I can not have it as tight as I would like. I don't think that I am correctly understanding the feed back path correctly. I believe that I need, and on other cross coupled ma…

reset modbus after comms hang

This is a plc to reset comms after a hang - also can be used to suspend comms while other devices come up. Some devices will hang on startup if you begin comms before they are ready (Turck I/O, or very old Phoenix stuff) [code] m1658->x:$ffffc2,3 ;modbus_ready m1659->x:$ffffc2,4 ;modbus_disable #define m_modbus_ready m1659 #define m_modbus_disable m1658 OPEN PLC 10 CLEAR dis plc 2..31 dis plcc 0..31 del look ;turn on Turck power m_output_io_power = 1 I_cs1_timer1 = 30000* con_msec While ( i_cs1_timer1 > 0) ;this loop keeps modbus disabled m_modbus_disable = 1 ;set cmd list disable bit m_modbus_ready = 0 ; reset PMAC_READY bit endw…

This post describes the step by step procedure used to change firmware for any PMAC with flash memory ( PMAC1, PMAC2, Ultralite, Turbo PMAC1, Turbo PMAC2, Turbo Ultralite, UMAC). All of the information in this document assumes the user has a legal copy of the firmware for their PMAC. If the user has any questions about uploading firmware please contact Delta Tau Data Systems, Inc. To change the firmware the user must place the card into bootstrap mode by powering up the controller with the bootstrap jumper in place. The bootstrap jumpers are listed in the following tables. [color=#FF0000]Use caution when changing firmware because all information will be erased f…

I got a question from a customer requesting for flag inputs for the JHW pulse/direction output. I wrote the following note for him which might be useful for others too: here is the original question: I have an application using the 4-Axis Clipper. I'm using the JHW port to control a stepper motor (clk/dir) for the 5th axis. I need +/- H/W travel limits for this 5th axis. What is your recommendation on the best way to implement this function? The best way is to use some of the I/O lines, but change their function in the gate so that they would act as Home / Pos / Neg / User flags for those channels. Here is how to do it: Command Output / Port / Pin PUL1+ …

This note give details on implementing the Opto22 Snap PAC fieldbus i/o system with Modbus TCP and the Delta Tau Turbo processor. All directions will use the Modbus wizard in PEWIN32Pro2. For a more detailed explanation of Modbus implementation on Delta Tau processors see: Modbus Definition & Design.doc [attachment=1353:name] [attachment=1354:name] Hardware: Delta Tau Turbo processor with Ethernet and ModbusTCP options. Opto22 Snap PAC rack with following configuration: SNAP-PAC-EB2 processor, SNAP-IDC5 in slot 0, SNAP-ODC5-I in slot 2, SNAP-AIV-4 in slot 4, SNAP-AITM-8 in slot 5. Software: Delta Tau PEWIN32Pro2, Opto22 PAC Manager, WinTECH Modsc…

I would like to connect a small serial panel printer to a stand alone CLIPPER and PMAC Lite. This is to get a short production report at the end of each part program executed by the machine. Basically I need to wright some instructions at the end of the part program to START,STOP the printer and the variables to be sent out to the printer. Would you have some suggestions on how to do this? regards, simon

Issue the "CPU" command to the Turbo PMAC. If it reports "56303" means its a 80 MHz (set I52=7) "56311" it is 160 MHz (set I52=15) "56321" it is 240 MHz (set I52=23)

Why does my new "Clipper" Watchdog (D3-led Red) on power up ? One reason is that the 5v power supply is not sufficient. In most cases the following steps will provide sufficient “in-rush” current capacity to allow the Clipper to power-up successfully: 1) Use a power supply with a minimum of +5 VDC @ 6 amps continuous current 2) Connect the +5 VDC power supply and Digital Common (Ground) to TB1 using 18 AWG stranded wire (instead of providing +5 VDC via ribbon cable connected to the JMACH1 connector). 3) Limit the length of the +5 VDC & Digital Common wires to 3 feet. 4) Adjust the +5 VDC output of the power supply so that a steady state voltage of +5.0 V…

To download the firmware for ACC-82M, first you need to download this file. [attachment=1272:name] or a newer firmware file developed by Delta Tau. Now you need to jumper E1 and set E3 to 1-2 position. Connect the ACC-82M to the Yaskawa drive and power-up the device. If you see and error on the Yaskawa drive, it's fine since ACC-82M doesn't communicate to the drive with these jumper settings which causes the alarm. Connect a USB cable between the ACC-82M and your PC. The USB device on the ACC-82M is a Serial Com RS-232 emulator and it should show up under device manage of windows as a Com port. Check the device manage to make sure you know the Com port number…

Several Turbo PMAC memory locations are used when generating “machine position” registers for a given application. For axis number one the following registers can be used, M161->D:$000088 ; #1 Commanded position (1/[Ixx08*32] cts) M162->D:$00008B ; #1 Actual position (1/[Ixx08*32] cts) M164->D:$0000CC ; #1 Position bias (1/[Ixx08*32] cts) M167->D:$00008D ; #1 Present master pos (1/[Ixx07*32] cts) M169->D:$000090 ; #1 Compensation correction (1/[Ixx08*32] cts) Machine Position = Actual Position + Position Bias + Compensation Correction If using the handwheel offset mode (bit 16 of Ix05 i…
