Turbo PMAC Clipper Hardware Reference Manual Wiring the DAC Output Example for Clipper Channel #1 Single Ended DAC Output Differential DAC Output Analog Analog DAC1- Device Device DAC1+ DAC1+ J3 (JMACH1) J3 (JMACH1) The analog outputs are intended to drive high-impedance inputs with no significant current draw (10mA max).
Turbo PMAC Clipper Hardware Reference Manual Amplifier Enable Signal (AENAn/DIRn) Most amplifiers have an enable/disable input that permits complete shutdown of the amplifier regardless of the voltage of the command signal. PMAC’s AENA line is meant for this purpose. AENA1- is pin 33.
Turbo PMAC Clipper Hardware Reference Manual Amplifier Fault Signal (FAULT-) This input can take a signal from the amplifier so PMAC knows when the amplifier is having problems, and can shut down action. The polarity is programmable with I-variable Ixx24 (I124 for motor 1) and the return signal is ground (GND).
Turbo PMAC Clipper Hardware Reference Manual Optional Analog Inputs The optional analog-to-digital converter inputs are ordered either through Option-12 on the Turbo PMAC Clipper or Option-2 on the axis expansion board. Each option provides two 12-bit analog inputs with a ±10Vdc range, and one 12-bit filtered PWM DAC output.
Turbo PMAC Clipper Hardware Reference Manual J4: Machine Connector (JMACH2 Port) This machine interface connector is labeled JMACH2 or J4 on the Turbo PMAC Clipper. It contains the pins for four channels of machine I/O: end-of-travel input flags, home flag and pulse-and-direction output signals.

Turbo PMAC Clipper Hardware Reference Manual While normally closed-to-ground switches are required for the overtravel limits inputs, the home switches could be either normally close or normally open types. The polarity is determined by the home sequence setup, through the I-variables Note I7mn2.
Turbo PMAC Clipper Hardware Reference Manual Step and Direction PFM Output (To External Stepper Amplifier) The Turbo PMAC Clipper or the Acc-1P has the capability of generating step and direction (Pulse Frequency Modulation) output signals to external stepper amplifiers. The step and direction outputs can be connected in single-ended configuration for 5V (input signal) amplifiers.
Turbo PMAC Clipper Hardware Reference Manual Compare Equal Outputs The compare-equals (EQU) outputs have a dedicated use of providing a signal edge when an encoder position reaches a pre-loaded value. This is very useful for scanning and measurement applications. Instructions for use of these outputs are covered in detail in the Turbo PMAC User Manual.
Turbo PMAC Clipper Hardware Reference Manual J7: Machine Connector (JMACH3 Port) This machine interface connector is labeled JMACH3 or J7 on the Turbo PMAC Clipper. It contains the pins for four channels of U, V, and W flags normally used for hall device commutation.
Thumbwheel Multiplexer Port on the JTHW connector has 8 inputs and 8 outputs at TTL levels. The output lines can be used to multiplex large numbers of inputs and outputs on the port, and Delta Tau provides accessory boards and software structures (special M-variable definitions) to capitalize on this feature.
Turbo PMAC Clipper Hardware Reference Manual The direction of the input and output lines on this connector are set by jumpers E14 and E15. If E14 is removed or E15 is installed then the multiplexing feature of the JTHW port cannot be used.
The direction of the input and output lines on this connector are set by jumpers E16 and E17. The 34-pin connector was designed for easy interface to OPTO-22 or equivalent optically isolated I/O modules. Delta Tau's Acc-21F is a six-foot cable for this purpose.

Turbo PMAC Clipper Hardware Reference Manual General Purpose I/Os (J6) Suggested M-Variables The lines on the JOPT general-purpose I/O connector will be mapped into PMAC's address space in register Y:$78400. Typically, these I/O lines are accessed individually with M-variables. Following is a suggested set of M-variable definitions to use these data lines.
This connector is used to establish USB (A-B type cable) communication between the host PC and the Turbo PMAC Clipper. This type of USB cable can be purchased at any local electronics or computer store. It may be ordered from Delta Tau as well.
Turbo PMAC Clipper Hardware Reference Manual DRIVE - MOTOR SETUP The Turbo PMAC Clipper supports three types of outputs: Analog ±10V 12-bit Filtered PWM Analog ±10V 18-bit True DAC with Acc-8ES Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) The following chart summarizes the steps to implement for setting up a motor properly with the Turbo...
Both the resolution and the frequency of the Filtered PWM outputs are configured in software on the Turbo PMAC Clipper through the variable I7000. This variable also effects the phase and servo interrupts. Therefore as we change I7000 we will also have to change I7001 (phase clock divider), I7002 (servo clock divider), and I10 (servo interrupt time).
