PMAC-PCI Hardware Reference INTRODUCTION The PMAC PCI is a member of the PMAC family of boards optimized for interface to traditional servo drives with single analog inputs representing velocity or torque commands. Its software is capable of 8 axes of control. It can have up either eight or four channels of on-board axis interface circuitry.
Option 15: V-to-F Converter for Analog Input The JPAN control panel port on the PMAC PCI has an optional analog input called WIPER (because it is often tied to a potentiometer’s wiper pin). PMAC PCI can digitize this signal by passing it through an optional voltage-to-frequency converter, using E-point jumpers to feed this into the Encoder 4 circuitry (no other use is then permitted), and executing frequency calculations using the “time base”...
The next machine interface connector is JMACH2, labeled J7 on the PMAC PCI. Essentially, it is identical to the JMACH1 connector for one to four more axes. It is present only if the PMAC card has been fully populated to handle eight axes (Option 1), because it interfaces the optional extra components.
This indicator is for diagnostic purposes only; it may not be present on your board. The PMAC PCI has an interlock circuit that drops out the ±15V supplies to the analog outputs through a fail-safe relay if any supply on PMAC is lost. In this case, the green LED D15 will be off. The D19 LED will be lit when 5V is applied to PMAC.
E85, E87, E88: Analog Circuit Isolation Control – These jumpers control whether the analog circuitry on the PMAC PCI is isolated from the digital circuitry, or electrically tied to it. In the default configuration, these jumpers are off, keeping the circuits isolated from each other (provided separate isolated supplies are used).
PMAC-PCI Hardware Reference Clock Configuration Jumpers E3-E6: Servo Clock Frequency Control – The jumpers E3 – E6 determine the servo-clock frequency by controlling how many times it is divided down from the phase-frequency. The default setting of E3 and E4 OFF, E5 and E6 ON divides the phase-clock frequency by 4, creating a 2.25 kHz servo-clock frequency.
With the default ULN2803A sinking driver used by the PMAC PCI on U37, this is the fail-safe option, allowing the circuit to fail in the disable state. With this jumper ON, the amplifier-enable line is high true so the enable state is not conducting current, and the disable state is low-voltage output and sinking current.
PMAC-PCI Hardware Reference E28: Following-Error/Watchdog-Timer Signal Control – With this jumper connecting pins 2 and 3 (default), the FEFCO/ output on pin 57 of the J8 JMACH1 servo connector outputs the watchdog timer signal. With this jumper connecting pins 1 and 2, this pin outputs the warning following error status line for the selected coordinate system.
PMAC-PCI Hardware Reference Power-Up State Jumpers Jumper E4 on the Non-Turbo CPU board must be OFF, jumper E5 must be ON, and jumper E6 must be ON, in order for the CPU to copy the firmware from flash memory into active RAM on power-up/reset. This is necessary for normal operation of the card.

PMAC-PCI Hardware Reference E3 - E6: Servo Clock Frequency Control The servo clock (which determines how often the servo loop is closed) is derived from the phase clock (see E98, E29 - E33) through a divide-by-N counter. Jumpers E3 through E6 control this dividing function.

PMAC-PCI Hardware Reference E44 - E47: Serial Port Baud Rate Jumpers E44 - E47 control what baud rate to use for serial communications. Any character received over the bus causes PMAC to use the bus for its standard communications. The serial port is disabled if E44- E47 are all on.

PCI bus: To mount in the PCI bus, simply insert the P1 card-edge connector into PCI socket. If there is a standard PC-style housing, a bracket at the end of the PMAC PCI board can be used to screw into the housing to hold the board down firmly.
Resistor Pack Configuration: Flag and Digital Inputs Voltage Selection The PMAC PCI is provided with 6-pin sockets for SIP resistor packs for the input flag sets. Each PMAC PCI is shipped with no resistor packs installed. If the flag or digital inputs circuits are in the 12V to 24V range, no resistor pack should be installed in these sockets.
As shipped, there are no resistor packs in these sockets. If these signals are brought long distances into the PMAC PCI board and ringing at signal transitions is a problem, SIP resistor packs may be mounted in these sockets to reduce or eliminate the ringing.
PMAC-PCI Hardware Reference If Pin 1 of the resistor pack, marked by a dot on the pack, matches Pin 1 of the socket, marked by a wide white line on the front side of the board, and a square solder pin on the back side of the board, then the pack is configured as a bank of pull-down resistors.
PMAC-PCI Hardware Reference This magnitude-and-direction mode is suited for driving servo amplifiers that expect this type of input, and for driving voltage-to-frequency (V/F) converters, such as PMAC’s Acc-8D Option 2 board, for running stepper motor drivers. If you are using PMAC to commutate the motor, you will use two analog output channels for the motor. Each output may be single-ended or differential, just as for the DC motor.
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. Characteristics of the JOPTO port on the PMAC PCI: 16 I/O points. 100 mA per channel, up to 24V ...
PMAC-PCI Hardware Reference Do not connect these outputs directly to the supply voltage, or damage to the PMAC will result from excessive current draw. The user can provide a high-side voltage (+5 to +24V) into Pin 33 of the JOPTO connector, and allow this to pull up the outputs by connecting pins 1 and 2 of Jumper E1.
Optional Voltage to Frequency Converter The WIPER analog input (0 to +10V on PMAC PCI referenced to digital ground) provides an input to a voltage-to-frequency converter (V/F) with a gain of 25 kHz/Volt, providing a range of 0-250 kHz. The output of the V/F can be connected to the Encoder 4 counter using jumpers E72 and E73.
PMAC-PCI Hardware Reference Thumbwheel Multiplexer Port (JTHW Port) The Thumbwheel Multiplexer Port, or Multiplexer Port, on the JTHW (J3) connector has eight input lines and eight output lines. 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.
PMAC-PCI Hardware Reference The input is selected and the conversion is started by writing to this same word address Y:$FFC8. A value of 0 to 7 written into the low 12 bits selects the analog input channel of that number (ANAI00- ANAI07) to be converted in unipolar mode (0V to +5V).

PMAC-PCI Hardware Reference A value of 0-7 in CONFIG_W2 tells PMAC1 PCI to read channel ANAI08-15, respectively, as a 0 to+5V input. A value of 8-15 in CONFIG_W1 tells PMAC1 PCI to read ANAI08-15, respectively, as a -2.5 to +2.5V input.

For serial communications, use a serial cable to connect your PC’s COM port to the PMAC’s J4 serial port connector. Delta Tau provides the Acc-3D cable that connects the PMAC PCI to a DB-25 connector. Standard DB-9-to-DB-25 or DB-25-to-DB-9 adapters may be needed for a particular setup. Jumper E110 selects between RS-232 and RS422 signals type for the J4 connector.

Ref. to digital GND. This terminal block may be used as an alternative power supply connector if PMAC PCI is not installed in a PC- bus. The +5V powers the digital electronics. The +12V and -12V, if jumpers E85, E87, and E88 are installed, power the analog output stage (this defeats the optical isolation on PMAC).

PMAC-PCI Hardware Reference On a Flex CPU board configured for Option 5CF with 80 MHz maximum frequency, I46 should be set to 7 to operate the CPU at its maximum rated frequency. On a Flex CPU board configured for Option 5EF with 160 MHz maximum frequency, I46 should be set to 15 to operate the CPU at its maximum rated frequency.
Page 68
PMAC-PCI Hardware Reference If the saved value of I46 is 0, so the CPU’s operational frequency is determined by jumper settings, then the serial baud rate is determined by a combination of the setting of jumpers E44- E47 and the CPU frequency on a PMAC(1) board, as shown in the following table. These settings maintain backward compatibility.
