Latest firmware and IDE for PowerPmac Clipper

[ulhasfegade]

Please let me know which is latest firmware and IDE for Power Pmac Clipper I can use

[Omron Forums Support]

I believe the newest firmware is 2.5.2.0. You can request firmware from your local Omron representative.

 

The most recent IDE 4.4.0.99 is available here https://automation.omron.com/en/us/products/family/PMAC%20IDE

I am using Ethercat drives. I guess power clipper has Etherlab stack. Does the above IDE will work for Etherlab stack?

No. For that I would suggest IDE 3.1.4.0, the most recent IDE V3.

Available on our older software center: http://www.deltatau.com/DT_SoftwareDownload/SoftwareUpdates.aspx

Direct Link: http://www.deltatau.com/Common/support/downloads/PowerPMAC%20IDE%20(3.1.4.0).zip

 

IDE 3 will be able to handle your whole project as long as you don't have user written phase/servo routines. If you wish you can set up just ethercat in IDE 3 and take a config to get settings that can be pasted into an IDE 4 project to set up ecat and ecat motors before continuing setup in IDE 4.

There is a little bit more information here.
