The 3U MACRO-CPU board is the processor and MACRO interface board that is used in a 3U MACRO Station
(in either UMAC MACRO or MACRO Stack configuration).
Note
There are 3 documents that describe the operation of Delta Tau Data Systems Inc. 3U MACRO
Station products:
•
UMAC System Manual (General Product Overview)
•
3U MACRO Station User’s Manual
•
3U MACRO Station Software Reference
This manual describes the interfaces and physical hardware that is used on the
3U MACRO CPU.
The UMAC MACRO and the MACRO Stack provide a remote interface for encoders, flags, direct-PWM digital
drives, analog drives, stepper drives, analog I/O, and digital I/O for Delta Tau Data's PMAC products that have a
MACRO interface.
The UMAC MACRO and MACRO Stack configurations communicate with PMAC2 Ultralites or Turbo PMAC2
Ultralites solely through the MACRO ring, interfacing to standard drives, encoders, flags, and I/O through onboard connectors. This MACRO Station integrated packaging and connectivity strategy provides revolutionary
flexibility and ease of use.
A 3U MACRO Station consists of a set of “3U” format Euro-cards (100 x 160 mm) that can be assembled in a
variety of configurations. When used in the rack configuration, connected through a backplane bus, the backplane
is UBUS format, designed by Delta Tau Data Systems Inc. for motion control and I/O interfaces.
When using the fiber optic MACRO interface, the 3U MACRO Station can be up to 3 kilometers (2 miles) away
from the PMAC2 controller or any other station on the ring. When using the RJ-45 copper electrical interface, it
can be up to 100 meters (~330 feet) away.
The 3U MACRO Station allows PMAC2 MACRO controllers to control servo axes and I/O just as if they were
directly connected to the PMAC2, even though they may be a great distance away. The only interface needed
from the PMAC2 is the electrically isolated MACRO ring.
Typically, a PMAC2 “Ultralite” board, one without any of its own servo interface circuitry, is used with the
MACRO Station to provide the most cost-effective solution.

The 3U MACRO Station can be configured in either of two fundamental assemblies – “UMAC MACRO” and
“MACRO Stack”:
•
UMAC MACRO – In this configuration (once called
"Pack") the 3U-format boards are put together to
communicate through a backplane bus called the UBUS.
All boards are installed in a Euro-card rack. In this
configuration, all 3U-format boards or modules can be
installed or withdrawn from the pack individually,
providing ease of installation, debugging, and repair.
The photo at the upper right shows a UMAC rack with power
supply and I/O boards that are connected through a backplane.
This system allows for an easier integration of the 3U
MACRO-CPU for larger (up to 8 axes) applications.
•
MACRO Stack – In the Stack configuration the 3U-format
boards are put together as a stack of piggyback boards,
(right, below). This configuration is ideal for compact,
cost-sensitive embedded applications.

4 Axis Stack Configuration
Note:
The Stack boards and related breakout boards can be installed in a Euro-card rack,
creating a hybrid “stack/pack” configuration. This requires a special backplane
configuration that makes removing stack boards difficult.
This hybrid configuration is now recommended for existing “legacy” systems only.

MACRO-CPU Hardware Reference
Assemblies of 3U-format boards can be made with either of two CPU processor boards – a 3U MACRO-CPU
board, or a 3U Turbo PMAC2 CPU board. Most other 3U-format boards, labeled “Accessory” boards, can be
used with either CPU board.
•
When the 3U MACRO-CPU board is used, the resulting assemblies are called “UMAC MACRO” or "3U
MACRO Stack."
•
When the 3U Turbo PMAC2 CPU board is used, the resulting assemblies are called “UMAC Turbo” or
"Turbo Stack."
Refer to the "UMAC & 3U Stack Products Selection Guide" for more detailed descriptions of how the rack and
stack products are integrated.
UMAC and 3U-Stack Products
UMAC Products Stack Products
UMAC Turbo UMAC MACRO Turbo Stack MACRO Stack
The UMAC Turbo is composed of
a 3U-format Turbo PMAC2 CPU
board and a set of accessory boards
in 3U-format, all plugged in a
common UBUS backplane and
installed inside a 3U format rack. A
PC/104 computer and several
optional communication
accessories (including all of the
major FieldBuses, MACRO and
Ethernet) can be inst alled inside the
UMAC system providing
convenient flexibility and virtually
unlimited expandability.
The UMAC MACRO is composed
of a MACRO Interface/CPU board
and a set of accessory boards in 3Uformat, all plugged in a common
UBUS backplane and installed
inside a 3U fo rmat rack. The UMAC
MACRO must receive commands
from an external MACRO
compatible device like a PMAC2
Ultralite or a UMAC Turbo system.
The UMAC MACRO does not
support a PC/104 or communication
accessories and it is preferred for
distributed control over a MACRO
ring connection.
The Turbo stack is composed of a
3U-format Turbo PMAC2 CPU
board and a set of ac cessory boards
in 3U-format plugged to it in a stack
configuration. The Turbo stack
configuration is less expensive than
the UMAC Turbo system but it is
limited to eight axes of motion
control versus 32 axes on a UMAC
Turbo system. The Turbo Stack is
selected over a UMAC Turbo
system because is more compact,
allowing its installation inside
already existing cabinets with some
space limitations.
The MACRO stack is composed of
a MACRO Interface/CPU board
and a set of accessory boards in
3U-format plugged to it in a stack
configuration. The UMAC
MACRO must receive commands
from an external MACRO
compatible device like a PMAC2
Ultralite or a UMAC Turbo
system. The MACRO Stack is
selected ove r a UMAC MACRO
sys te m because it is more compact,

3U MACRO-CPU CONFIGURATION
The purchase of the 3U MACRO CPU board provides a 3U-format (100mm x 160mm) board with a DSP
processor, MACRO ring circuitry, “piggyback” connectors onto which “stack” accessory boards can be mounted,
and a backplane connector through which other 3U-format boards can be connected by means of a “UBUS”
passive-backplane board.
The MACRO CPU board went through an extensive redesign in the –105 revision, because key components on
the –104 and older revisions became obsolete. Both the older and the newer versions are described in this
manual. The only system change required is a slight change in the DIP-switch addressing of ACC-24E2x and
ACC-51E backplane axis boards when using the new MACRO CPU boards.
Note
It is recommended that only the new MACRO CPU boards, which have stronger backplane bus
drivers, be used in “UMAC” pack configurations.)
The 3U MACRO-CPU can be purchased in two physical configurations, distinguished by part number prefix:
• 300-602804-10x provides the 3U MACRO-CPU board without a front plate. This configuration is
recommended for “stack” assemblies.
• 3R0-602804-10x provides the 3U MACRO-CPU board with a front plate. This configuration is
recommended for “UMAC” rack assemblies. The top and bottom plates are provided with the ACC-Px
rack.
There are a few options available for the MACRO CPU board.
One of the Options A or C must be present on a MACRO CPU board to provide the actual MACRO ring interface
circuitry; both may be present:
Option A provides an SC-style fiber-optic transceiver to connect into the MACRO ring. Its main component is
the U73 transceiver.
Option C provides RJ-45 electrical input and output connectors for the MACRO ring. Its main components are
J14 and J17.
Option 10 permits a specified revision of the MACRO Station firmware to be installed in the flash memory in the
card. Without this option, the latest released revision is installed. A label on the flash memory IC indicates the
firmware revision installed at the factory (but not necessarily which revision is presently installed in the IC). The
presently installed revision can be ascertained by using the MSVER{node #} command.

3U MACRO CPU BOARD HARDWARE SETUP
The hardware setup of the 3U MACRO CPU Board consists of the setting of 2 rotary switches, the setting of
several E-point jumpers on each board, followed by power supply and signal connections.
Note
E-Point Jumper numbers are shown in white ink on the legend of each board. Pin numbers for
each number can be determined either from the legend on the component side on the board, or by
looking at the solder side of the board, where pin 1 has a square solder pad.
3U MACRO CPU Board Jumper & Switch Setup
The MACRO Station has two 16-way rotary switches on the MACRO CPU board that establish the station’s basic
configuration on the MACRO ring.
SW1 Rotary Switch Setting: SW1 establishes how many servo nodes, and which servo nodes, will be used on
the MACRO station. It also establishes the mapping of MACRO node numbers to MACRO Station channel
numbers. This mapping information will be important in establishing the software setup.
The following table shows possible MACRO Station axis configurations and the appropriate settings of SW1:
