Alex Anikstein Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 As of late 2020, the locations for the firmware and IDE have moved. Previous versions of both are still being kept on the Delta Tau website, available through the for firmware (forums account required) and the Software Center Updates page for software. However, the distribution methods for each have changed for future versions.http://forums.deltatau.com/filedepot/ [FILE REMOVED] Future versions of the IDE are available instead from the Omron Industrial Automation website: https://automation.omron.com/en/us/products/family/PMAC%20IDE Future versions of firmware can typically be distributed directly to customers through Omron Distributors rather than being available for download for anyone. If you need to upgrade the firmware on your unit or obtain a specific other version, contact your Omron Distributor for more information. You may need to provide some information about the product so that the correct file and procedure are provided. These can be obtained by issuing "CPU", "TYPE", and "VERS" into the terminal window, so please be prepared to provide the responses to these commands, too. NOTE: Users have occasionally reported xml errors when attempting to download some of these links. If that occurs, please try again later (these are intermittent issues) or contact your local Omron office and we will try to get you the files another way.

JeffB Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 The link on the Omron website seems broken. Worked a few weeks ago. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> AccessDenied Request has expired 21600 2020-09-10T18:56:20Z 2020-09-11T03:09:57Z 49A2AABDAC05A67E LvJzy0IA39ti1CA5JfWrgKbtl4FvOyj5XM/u7mq2LFG92mNwlrDTHPHa2ldOV5F41k5kvBuiYrg= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Anikstein Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 It looks like it just went down for a few hours for some reason--it was down last night (I tested it, too), but it appears to be working again now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark amato Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Hello, Is there a way to download 3.x IDEs in order to support older installations with the EtherLAB stack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Anikstein Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 In general, all of our software is distributed for customers in the Americas through the Omron website now. If you search for "PowerPMAC IDE 3", you will see a number of versions available for download, including 3.1.4.0, our final release of version 3.

Sanjay_RSS Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 For anyone awaiting it, the new 4.6.0.14 version of the IDE has been posted to the main Omron PowerPMAC IDE webpage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeson Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) To access the downloads, go to the Delta Tau website and navigate to the PPmac product page. From there, you should be able to find a "Downloads" section that will allow you to download the latest firmware and IDE. You may need to create an account and register your PPmac product before you can access the downloads. Edited April 26 by Jeson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelukow Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 4.6.0.14 May 2022 from https://automation.omron.com/en/us/products/family/PMAC IDE gave me a issue where the PMAC HELP file was empty and I could not get it to manually install. 4.6.1.12 Jan 5, 2023 from https://www.ia.omron.com/product/tool/pmac-software/index.htm fixed the help file issues and installed properly...but the databases lists of motors and encoders appear to be empty...no motors/encoders are populated by default and user must build their own library one by one. The default library of amplifiers is populated by Delta Tau and Omron devices...but the motor and encoder lists remain empty irrespective of amplifier selection. Can we get a single download that installs the HELP and product lists? Is there a way to install a default library of motors and encoders?

steve.milici Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 The new installation should maintain the list of your “Custom” amplifiers, motors and encoders from the previous installation. Note that by default on a new PC these would be empty. You can “export” an existing installation under the “File->Export” menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve.milici Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 The release notes are provided with the installation files in the download “zip” folder. Actual installation is not needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I incorrectly assumed some example Omron motors would have been included during installation. The list of amplifiers included several Delta Tau and Omron models by default so I just assumed the motors/encoders were empty by error. Thank you for clearing that up for me.
