andreslobo Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I have several old electric presses, all with Pmac pc 4 channel boards in them. As a part of risk management I bought a used Pmac pc with a pmac pv cpu to have as a swap out replacement just in case. From the limited reading I have done it appears as though it is 8 channel. The question is, if I set the jumpers the same as the old board, load the same firmware as the old board (everything is flash and I have the motion program), download the pmac programs, and plug it in should it work? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sina.Sattari Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 If the board you have is a functional board, whether 4 or 8 axis you should be able to copy the same configuration file from your current controllers and run it on the other board. However, depending on the type of CPU, you may want to get the same firmware chip/software loaded in order to maintain the same functionality. About the Jumper settings, if the part number of the base boards are the same, just set them exactly like your original board. If the part numbers are different, let us know and I'll try to find your the manual for each of them, so you can compare each jumper functionality. The part numbers are usually a 6 digit number starting with 602xxx or 603xxx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Sina Thanks much for the info. I set the jumpers the same on both boards, pulled one from the rack and replaced it with the new one. It was recognized by pewin, had the green and yellow led lights on. But where the heck do I find the part number on the board. On the base board I can only find pmac pc, are the numbers hidden under the daughter board?[hr] Sina Looked at the back of the board, it is a 602191-103 serial number 9632 with a 602705-103 daughter board sn 331. I'd appreciate info on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in older PMAC PCs, the part number can be found on the back side of the board, close to J4 connector.

Sina.Sattari Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Here is the manual for PMAC-PC boards (602191). [attachment=1383:name] However based upon Delta Tau polices I won't be able to post you the firmware file. You can contact our sales office or any of the distributors and request for purchase of firmware version 1.16D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
