PMAC-Lite Hardware Reference INTRODUCTION Overview The PMAC-Lite is a member of the PMAC(1) family of boards optimized for interface to traditional servo drives with single analog inputs representing velocity or torque commands. Its software is capable of eight axes of control. It has four channels of on-board axis interface circuitry. It can also support up to 8 channels of off-board axis interface circuitry through its expansion port, connected to an ACC-24P board.
PMAC-Lite Hardware Reference Option 2: Dual Ported RAM Dual-ported RAM provides a high-speed communications path for bus communications with the host computer through a bank of shared memory. DPRAM is advised if more than about 100 data items per second are to be passed between the controller and the host computer in either direction. Option 2 provides an on-board 8k x 16 bank of dual-ported RAM.
PMAC-Lite Hardware Reference Option 14: Replacement of flag Opto-Isolators with Socketed Shunts Normally, the flag inputs on all servo channels have opto-isolator circuits that require 12 to 24V inputs to turn on. When the ACC-8D Option 8 Analog Encoder Interpolator is used on a pair of channels, it uses the flag inputs on the second (even-numbered) channel to provide “sub-count”...

PMAC-Lite Hardware Reference E29 - E33: Phase Clock Frequency Control Jumpers E29 through E33 control the speed of the phase clock, and, indirectly, the servo clock, which is divided down from the phase clock (see E3 - E6). No more than 1 of these 5 jumpers may be on at a time. PHASE Clock Frequency E98 Connects E98 Connects...
PMAC-Lite Hardware Reference E44 - E47: Serial Baud Rate Control 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 when E44-E47 are all on.
Operation in this mode is done completely at the user’s own risk; Delta Tau can accept no responsibility for the operation of the PMAC or the machine under these conditions.

PMAC-Lite Hardware Reference BUS ADDRESS JUMPER SETUP Jumpers E91, E92, E66, E67, E68, E69, E70, and E71 on the PMAC-Lite determine the base address of the card in the I/O space of the host PC’s expansion bus. Together, they form a binary number that specifies the 16 consecutive addresses on the bus where the card can be found.
