wlewis Posted January 9, 2018 Author Posted January 9, 2018 Thanks Richard. If it's a UMAC PowerPMAC, can you please confirm that we would use a ACC-5E to provide the interface from the UMAC rack to the GeoBrick-LV?
Richard Naddaf Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Yes, you can. These are the ring controller settings: // First MACRO Gate Gate2[0].MacroMode = $4030 Gate2[0].MacroEnable = $0FF333 // 8 SERVO NODES ENABLED, ENABLE I/O NODES AS NEEDED // If you have a second Gate Gate2[1].MacroMode = $10 Gate2[1].MacroEnable = $180000 // ENABLE NODES AS NEEDED // If you have a third Gate Gate2[2].MacroMode = $10 Gate2[2].MacroEnable = $280000 // ENABLE NODES AS NEEDED // If you have a fourth Gate Gate2[3].MacroMode = $10 Gate2[3].MacroEnable = $380000 // ENABLE NODES AS NEEDED // Ring check settings Macro.TestPeriod = 20 Macro.TestMaxErrors = Macro.TestPeriod / 2 Macro.TestReqdSynchs = Macro.TestPeriod - Macro.TestMaxErrors The slave (Brick) settings are exactly the same as in the Brick manual for MACRO auxiliary mode communication (using Ixx44).
