Why not use linux's "wget" command to pull it directly from support.deltatau.com into /var/ftp/userflash ? 1. ssh into ppmac controller 2. cd /var/ftp/usrflash 3. wget "ftp://support.deltatau.com/DT-USA/Power PMAC Suite/Firmware/Release/July2010/1.2.1.5/powerpmac.deb" 4. dpkg -i powerpmac.deb Worked when I tried it (the quotes handle the spaces in the filepath). -Dave [quote='Sina' pid='64' dateline='1222960185'] To upgrade Power PMAC's firmware, you need to the file: - powerpmac.deb This file is usually accompanied with the latest version of the IDE which is accessible through Delta Tau's FTP website ([url=ftp://support.deltatau.com/DT-USA/Power%20PMAC%20Suite/Power%20PMAC%20Suite%20(IDE)/]Click Here[/url]) Once you have downloaded this file to your local drive (with write/read access) select the [b]Download Firmware[/b] from Configure under Delta Tau's menu in Power PMAC IDE. Click on Download Firmware button and follow the on-screen instructions to update the firmware. //----------------------------------------------------------- If for some reason you need to do this from Linux then you would: 1. Copy powerpmac.deb to /var/ftp/usrflash with read/write access 2. Telnet to PowerPmac and enter dpkg -i /var/ftp/usrflash/powerpmac.deb wait for it to finish before doing anything else. [/quote]

Answered my own question (partially) by experiment: Without the resistor packs, 5V does not seem to be sensed, but 24V is. Not sure how low I can go. Sounds like another experiment.

[quote='brad' pid='42' dateline='1221578836'] The attached document contains the proper indexes. [/quote] Just being stupid: This document is for all I/O boards? (I'm using the ACC-24E2A)

The text of the manual is confusing in terms of limit specifications: "The 4.7K resistor packs used will allow 12-24V flag inputs. If 0-5V flags are used, then a 1KΩ resistor pack (RP) can be placed in either RP45 or RP46 ..... If these resistor packs are not added, all flags (±Limits, Home, User, and amplifier fault) will be referenced from 0-5V." So do I use a 1K resistor pack or no resistor pack for 0/+5V limits?
