PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual INTRODUCTION The PMAC2A PC/104 motion controller is a compact, cost-effective version of the Delta Tau’s PMAC2 family of controllers. The PMAC2A PC/104 can be composed of three boards in a stack configuration. The baseboard provides four channels of either DAC ±10V or pulse and direction command outputs. The optional axis expansion board provides a set of four additional servo channels and I/O ports.
PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual Option 12: Analog-to-Digital Converters Option 12 permits the installation of two channels of on-board analog-to-digital converters with ±10V input range and 12-bits resolution. The key component installed with this option is U20. Acc-1P: Axis Expansion Piggyback Board Acc-1P provides four additional channels axis interface circuitry for a total of eight servo channels, each including: •...
PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual Acc-2P: Communications Board Without any options, the PMAC2A PC/104 communicates through the RS-232 serial interface using the optional Acc-3L flat cable. Only one method of communication is allowed at a time. Acc-2P Option 1A: USB Interface Option 1A it provides a 12 Mbit/sec USB interface allowing USB communications with the PMAC2A PC/104 motion controller.
PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual BASE BOARD HARDWARE SETUP On the PMAC2 PC/104 baseboard, there are many jumpers (pairs of metal prongs) called E-points or W- points. Some have been shorted together; others have been left open. These jumpers customize the hardware features of the baseboard for a given application and must be setup appropriately.
PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual CPU Jumper Configuration E15A-E15C: Flash Memory Bank Select Jumpers – The flash-memory IC in location U10 on the PMAC2A PC/104 base board has the capacity for eight separate banks of firmware, only one of which can be used at any given time.

PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual If this socketed resistor is configured as a pull-up resistor (by reversing the SIP pack in the socket), the two parallel 2.2 kΩ resistors act as a single 1.1 kΩ pull-up resistor, holding the line at +5V in the absence of an external signal.
PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual ACC-1P HARDWARE SETUP On the Acc-1P, you will see many jumpers (pairs of metal prongs), called E-points. Some have been shorted together; others have been left open. These jumpers customize the hardware features of the Acc- 1P for a given application and must be setup appropriately.
PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual The ‘-‘ inputs of each differential pair each have a hard-wired 2.2 kΩ resistor to +5V; each also has another 2.2 kΩ resistor as part of a socketed resistor pack that can be configured as a pull-up resistor to +5V, or a pull-down resistor to GND.
PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual ACC-2P HARDWARE SETUP On the Acc-2P, there are many jumpers (pairs of metal prongs), called E-points. Some have been shorted together; others have been left open. These jumpers customize the hardware features of the Acc-2P for a given application and must be setup appropriately.
PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual Resistor Packs Configuration Differential or Single-Ended Handwheel Encoder Selection The handwheel encoder differential input signal pairs to the PMAC have user-configurable pull-up/pull- down resistor networks to permit the acceptance of either single-ended or differential signals in one setting, or the detection of lost differential signals in another setting.
Typically, the user connections are actually made to terminal blocks that are attached to the JMACH connectors by a flat cable. The following are the terminal blocks recommended for connections: • 34-Pin IDC header to terminal block breakouts (Phoenix part number 2281063) Delta Tau part number 100-FLKM34-000 •...
PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual Flags Power Supply Each channel of PMAC has five dedicated digital inputs on the machine connector: PLIMn, MLIMn (overtravel limits), HOMEn (home flag), FAULTn (amplifier fault), and USERn. A power supply from 5 to 24V must be used to power the circuits related to these inputs. This power supply can be the same used to power PMAC and can be connected from the TB1 terminal block or the JMACH1 connector.
PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual DAC Output Signals If PMAC is not performing the commutation for the motor, only one analog output channel is required to command the motor. This output channel can be either single-ended or differential, depending on what the amplifier is expecting.
Each input and each output has its own corresponding ground pin in the opposite row. 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: •...
The Thumbwheel Multiplexer Port, or Multiplexer Port, on the JTHW connector has sixteen lines. These 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. Up to 32 of the multiplexed I/O boards may be daisy-chained on the port, in any combination.
PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual When used as non-multiplexed I/O, jumpers E7 and E8 on the Acc-2P board select the I/O lines direction of the JTHW connector. This allows configuring this port as all inputs, all outputs or half inputs and half outputs.
For serial communications, use a serial cable to connect your PC's COM port to the J8 serial port connector present on the PMAC2A PC/104 baseboard. Delta Tau provides the Acc-3L cable for this purpose that connects the PMAC to a DB-9 connector. Standard DB-9-to-DB-25 or DB-25-to-DB-9 adapters may be needed for your particular setup.
Flex CPU design. Communications Delta Tau provides software tools that allow communicating with of the PMAC2A PC/104 board by either its standard RS-232 port or the optional USB or Ethernet ports. PEWIN is the most important in the series of software accessories, and it allows configuring and programming the PMAC for any particular application.
PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual If the CPU’s operational frequency has been determined by (a non-zero setting of) I46, the serial communications baud rate is determined at power-up/reset by variable I54 alone according to the following table: Baud Rate Baud Rate 9600 14,400 1200...
PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual Using Flag I/O as General-Purpose I/O Either the user flags or other not assigned axes flag on the base board can be used as general-purpose I/O for up to 20 inputs and 4 outputs at 5-24Vdc levels. The indicated suggested M-variables definitions, which are defined in the PMAC2 Software reference, allows accessing each particular line according to the following table: Channel Number...

PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual Thumbwheel Port Digital Inputs and Outputs The inputs and outputs on the thumbwheel multiplexer port of either the Acc-1P or the Acc-2P boards may be used as discrete, non-multiplexed I/O. In this case, these I/O lines can be accessed through M- variables that are defined according to the setup of the address selection jumpers.
PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual Analog Inputs Setup The optional analog-to-digital converter inputs are ordered either through Option-12 on the baseboard or Option-2 on the axes expansion board. Each option provides two 12-bit analog inputs with a ±10Vdc range. The M-variables associated with these inputs provided a range of values between +2048 and –2048 for the respective ±10Vdc input range.
