Trying to do some layout design for a Clipper (16 weeks till I see it). There is a diagram showing mounting holds in the on-line docs. Is there a version of that diagram calling out the J1, J2....J9 connectors? At the very least, two 34 pin connectors , which is J4, J9?

Hi, I want to make practical use of the "PMAC Interrupt Packet" mechanism as described in the "Turbo PMAC Ethernet Protocol.pdf" manual (application note). I am using a TurboClipper board for software development and testing, while our production machines are using Brick controllers. Although we don't have the MODBUS option (since we don't use MODBUS), I successfully created an interrupt socket using I67. i67_ModbusTcpBufferStartAddress=$10700 ; Start address socket setup buffer WL:$10700,$100000000000 ; Enable socket 0 for TCP ascii WL:$10703,$200000000000 ; Enable socket 1 for interrupt WL:$10706,$100000000000 …

Using Setup Pro2 to setup UMAC/TurboPMAC2 w ACC24E2A. The ACC24E2A's channels 1 & 2 are dead, but 3 & 4 work. I have a 2 axis application, so what the heck. I bring up Setup Pro 2, and start configuring, leaving Motor 3 as channel 3 and Motor 4 as channel 4. The actual motors and amps are identicle. Motor 3 has pos and neg limit switches. I get through configuring it just fine, Open loop test, a nice graph. Motor 4 has no limits switches, so I disable position limits, otherwise the setup is the same as 3, and try and run Open Loop test, it complains about the positive position limit being true so it wont run?? The channel 4 front panel connecto…

Hello. There is a question about ACC72EX. System :UMAC Turbo (non-Power PMAC) * The master side: "RJ71DN91" (Mitsubishi IQ-R series) * The slave side: "ACC72EX" I installed setting of ACC72EX in Hilscher software (Sycon.net). Next the master side and the slave side were connected by a cable. Moreover a power supply was also supplied to the master side and the slave side. But The abnormality was confirmed like attachment picture 1 by a diagnostic program of Hilscher software. A data base doesn't seem to exist in the cause. To settle this problem. When connecting with "RJ71DN91", do I have to do some new software updates?

In my system I have a servo motor driving a set of rolls which feeds material and also a second encoder providing position feedback (the material at times slips slightly in the feed rolls). This setup is pretty straightforward, Ixx03 points to the encoder tracking the material position and Ixx04 points to the servo motor encoder. All is working well except there is one issue, if the encoder or rolls lose contact with the web material there is no following error so the servo driving the rollers will run away. What suggestions would there be for fixing this issue? Thanks

Hello, I am using direct microstepping on #1 of a GeoBrick LV and wish to use the position compare functionality as a trigger of sorts (in this case step as there is no encoder). I setup #5 as a virtual motor following the instructions for PFM so that I could use the position compare on #5 when it is following #1. The problem I am currently having is that #5 lags significantly behind #1 at higher speeds. I tried setting program acceleration and velocity to high values, the s-curve and accl-times to very small values for #5, and upped the PFM frequency, but I see no change in the amount of following error. Is there any other way to make #5 more synchronized with #1?…

Hi, Just wondering the best way to clear an axis handwheel offset if setting the input to the master to zero didn't work. Usual Method (axis 3): We override a motion path by enabling master following I306=3 and then inputting an offset into the address defined by I305. (This goes through an exponential filter in ECT). To clear the offset we usually set the offset input to 0 which moves M367 back to 0. Problems (crash): There are times that setting the input to the filter to 0 doesn't totally clear M367. Therefore the present master position has an offset. What is the best way to get rid of the offset in M367? I tried to turn off following I306=0, then #3PMATCH,…

I have PEWin32 Pro installed on a XP computer at a customer facility. The Ethernet communications with the Turbo PMAC only works when they are logged in as Administrators. Because of their security protocols the operators need to be regular users. Do you have any idea what could be stopping the ethernet comms with the PMAC when logged on as user instead of Admin. Thanks

I am using the PMAC Tunning Pro to plot the Command and the Actual DAC/Current to my AC servo motor. The problem is that in any case the Actual DAC/Current is always zero and only the Cmd. DAC/Current changes in different conditions. Could you please explain me the reason. Also, I want to access to the Command and Actual Current value for further processing (such as calculating the motor torque). How can I get these variables? I am using PMAC clipper controller.

We are trying to get an older TURBO PMAC2-PCI ULTRALITE working with a new Windows 8 PC and we are not getting interrupts from the PMAC. We don't get them in our software and we don't see them in Pewin32Pro2 (using the View Interrupts option). Our symptoms are identical to this Closed Thread (http://forums.deltatau.com/showthread.php?tid=864) but I never see a resolution to his problem. The board generates interrupts fine on an older motherboard running Windows XP, so I'm confident that it isn't a jumper or board problem. One difference is that on the Windows XP system, Windows is using PCI interrupt 16, but on the Windows 8 computer, it is using PCI interru…

hello everyone: I would like to use pmac to develop three motion axes according to a sensor to determine the next movement of the target position, which requires an initial target, according to the sensor dynamic changes adjust the movement of the target, how to achieve this? Who has a good idea to share with me, thanks!

Dear sir, Do you have any plan to write a book about how to tune pmac in practice? PMAC's user manual is very good, but how to tune it in practice is still a big challenge, such as how to choose the right encoder resolution, how to set the right servo clock in different application, how to tune the PID, how to set notch filter, how to tune adaptive control, how to tune gantry, etc, and the base knowledge that we have to master... I think a lot of people would need this book, you can even make it a PMAC order option, and others may even use it like a textbook, like MS Office's textbook, it could even promote PMAC' sales. If you do not have this plan, do you have any …

Dear sir, In page 104 of 84E's manual, there is a topic about "Absolute phase and power-up/reset position", and there is one word: "Set Ixx79=500 and Ixx29=-500 Increase these values by increments of 100 until motor movement is observed when O0 is issued." What does that mean? increase ixx79 and ixx29 by 100? or add ixx79 by 100 and add ixx29 by -100? Because when I kept on increasing them by 100, the motor did not move.(I know there may have other configuration problems.) Test these steps is sincerely slow, and our final goal is to get Ixx75, can these steps be replaced by automatic six-step offered by pewin32? If not, do we have to go through the "Fine-Phasing Te…

We are possibly have an enclosure custom-built for the Turbo Clipper. A similar thread exists for Power Clipper but we have not yet moved on from the Turbo series. Does Delta Tau sell the IMAC or anything similar in the US at this point? I'm also looking to find out what the end-of-life for Turbo Clipper will be. If we design an enclosure I'd like to find out if it would be worth the retooling time needed to switch to Power Clipper now or continue using Turbo Clipper. What is the general price comparison between Turbo and Power Clipper?

Hello! I am controlling a stepper motor in internal-loop mode (i.e., without an encoder). What should the PID servo setup I-variables be set to (i.e., Ixx30-Ixx35 and Ixx68)? Should they all just be set to 0, except for Ixx34 (PID Integration Mode) which perhaps should be set to 1? Should they be left at their factory default values? Or something else? I'm interested in an answer in general, but if it helps to clarify my question, my specific case involves a motor controlled through a MACRO node, so this motor has MI910 (Encoder/Timer n Decode Control) set to 8 (Internal pulse and direction). The 16-Axis MACRO CPU SRM says, "If MI910 is set to 8, the decoder inputs…

Dear Sir, I do not know what does that mean when talking about "additional clock switch" in page 21 of ACC-84E's manual. I have already read Endat's specification, and it says without delay compensation, the maximum transmission rate is 2M, and from 84E's manual we get to know 84E does not have this circuit builtin, so the maximum transmission rate should be 2M? so why does the manual list settings for transmission rate above 2M? Another question, from Endat's specification, we know that Endat is similar to SSI, all using external clock signal to drive the bit transition, so, shouldn't the clock setting for Endat be similar to that of SSI's(Serial clock frequency = …

I'm trying to use the PMACTerminalGather for one of my applications. I have uploaded some files in the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dy7837bgrj6sqlu/AAD0IjPahdUffNQAnTHP5Pc4a?dl=0 I used PMACTerminalEdit to create SubVIs (VI wrapper) for the LVX1 and LVUA1 programs. I have uploaded the VIs and related PMC files. I'm facing a couple of issues: 1. The block diagram shows grey question marks for PMACGatherStep.VI. There's a "VI is not loadable" error when I open the VI. Uploaded screenshots of the error messages int he above link. 2.

Is there a prescribed method for homing stepper motors? I am referring to stepper motors controlled via open loop, direct micro-stepping without any feed back whatsoever. I am interested in performing a homing search move into a hard stop, then setting registers appropriately (software-style position capture). Open loop homing moves with the rotor locked against a stop will cause the motor torque to reverse when the phase position rolls past the 180 degree point, complicating matters. It would seem to me that in order to lock on to the correct magnetic detent on the motor, one would have to manipulate the phase position register to get it “in sync” with the command …
