Accessory 14M

INTRODUCTION

The ACC-14M can be used with a TURBO PMAC2 Ultralite or UMAC MACRO for either general
purpose digital I/O, direct connection to Opto22 style boards, or as high speed latched inputs for servo
loop position or velocity feedback. The ACC-14M can also run a Delta Tau PLCC program that allows
the user to process their IO in real time using its on-board processor without adding overhead to the Ring
Master controller.

The ACC-14M can be used as follows:

INPUTS OUTPUTS MI14 Comments

24 24 0 Default. J4 is Input Port and J5

is Output Port. Uses one IO
Node

0 48 1 Uses two IO nodes

48 0 2 Uses two IO nodes

24 24 3 J4 is Output Port and J5 is

Input Port. Uses one IO node

Whatever your intent, this manual is equipped with the necessary examples and descriptions to allow for a
rapid setup. While setup of the Acc-14M is easy for all its’ purposes it is a bit easier to setup the board
for the purpose of machine I/O than it is for the purpose of servo control. This is because configuring the
board for closed loop servo data requires a few more jumper settings, the setup of various I-variables in
the encoder conversion table, and if used for power on position the setup of certain power-on position
variables.

The encoder conversion table is setup on the controller side using variables I8000 through I8191.
Encoder conversion types are $2 and $3 for the ACC-14M and are described in the Turbo PMAC
Software Reference Manual.

If option 1 is ordered a set of analog inputs, analog outputs, and relay contacts are installed. These can be
used to control, for example, one or two inverter drives through the MACRO link.

This accessory works only with a Turbo PMAC2 controller, either in Ultralite or UMAC format.

Features:

• Two 24-bit IO ports configured as Inputs or Outputs. OPTO 22 compatible

• One 24-bit Gray Code to Binary Conversion for J4 port only

• Latching inputs

• Output Clock for Binary or Gray code encoder synchronization

Connectors and Indicators

Inputs and Outputs LED Indicators

Each of the 24 input and 24 INPUT/OUTPUT lines has an associated LED that displays its state, either
active or inactive, in the front panel of the unit.

Status LED Indicators

+24V: When lit, this LED indicates that 24V is applied to the unit.

PWR: When lit, this LED indicates that proper power is applied to the logic circuits

WD: When lit, this LED indicates that the watchdog safety circuit is activated, indicating a

failure condition.

7-Segment LED Indicator

This indicator reports the status of the unit with respect to the MACRO link. These are the possible status
codes:

0: Ring Active with no errors
1-9: NA
a: NA
b: Ring-break fault
c: Configuration change fault
d: Ring data-error fault
e: NA
f: Momentary ring fault

USB Connector

This connector is used to perform some software diagnostic procedures, or to download the operational
firmware. This connector is used in conjunction with the PEWIN32-Pro or equivalent software package.

24V Input Connector

Power is applied to the unit through this connector. The power requirement for logic is 300mA @
24VDC. The power requirement for the outputs is 50mA per each, 2.4A if all 48 are used.

MACRO Link Connectors

The unit can be ordered to use either RJ45 connectors with twisted pair copper wires or a fiber optic
connection. In either case, there will be an input and an output connector, and both are used to connect to
the MACRO link. The input connector is tied to the MACRO output connector of the previous device on
the link. The output connector connects to the input MACRO connector of the next device on the link.

DB-15 Option-1 Connector

When OPT-1 is ordered this connector provides the lines for two relay contact outputs, two 16-bit DAC
outputs with 0-10 V voltage range and two 16-bit ADC inputs with 0-10 V voltage range.

Relay Status LED Indictors

RLY1: When lit, this indicates that the first amplifier enable relay is activated.

4 ACC-14M MACRO Station I/O Transfer

Accessory 14M

RLY2: When lit, this indicates that the second amplifier enable relay is activated.

Inputs and Outputs Terminal Blocks (J4 and J5)

Allows for the 48 bit Inputs/Outputs connections, their clocking, and errors. Each connector is a 50-pin
IDE header that allows for direct connection to Opto22 style boards.

E-Point Jumper Description

Refer to the layout diagram of ACC-14M for the location of the jumpers on the board.

Table 1: E-Point Jumper configuration and settings

JP7 1-2 Re-initialization ON for re-initialization to factory defaults at power up

The E7, E8, E9, and E10 jumpers are pulled up to 5V if not using ICLK or ERR inputs from the encoder. If you are
NOT using the ICLK or ERR inputs to the ACC-14M, then you will need to jumper E7 and E8 when using J4
connector port for inputs and/or E9 and E10 when using the J5 connector port for inputs.

ON passes the ICLK1 0V input from J4 to latch Inputs 0-23
OFF passes the ICLK1 5V input from J4 to latch Inputs 0-23
ON allows a low ERR1/ input to latch Inputs 0-23
OFF allows a high ERR1/ input to latch Inputs 0-23
ON passes the ICLK2 0Vinput from J5 to latch Inputs 24-47
OFF passes the ICLK2 5Vinput from to latch Inputs 24-47
ON allows a low ERR2/ input to latch the Inputs 24-47

SOFTWARE SETUP

Typically, the MACRO Slave Device and MACRO Master IC (Ultralite) can support up to eight AXIS
nodes (0, 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, and 13) and up to six I/O transfer nodes (2, 3, 6, 7, 10, and 11). This data
exchange goes through a MACRO IC at both points (master and slave) on the MACRO Ring. There are
three types of I/O transfers allowed that send information between the Turbo Ultralite and a MACRO
Device. These are, 48-bit I/O background data transfer, 72-bit phase rate I/O node transfer, and 48-bit
ASCII transfer.

The 48-bit I/O transfer occurs on node 15 of the MACRO ring and the 48-bit ASCII transfer occurs on
node 14 using the broadcast feature of MACRO. The 72-bit node transfer is used to exchange all
hardware I/O on the card, the 48-bit I/O transfer for MI variables and the 48-bit ASCII for Ring Order
setup of the Station. (The ACC-14M does not have switches that bind it to a certain Master and Node so
it uses Ring Order for initial binding to a Master and Node.) The Turbo PMAC2 Ultralite and the
MACRO Station enable transfer of 72 bits per I/O node with the I6841 and MI996 type variables.

Once the first node number has been established the Turbo Ultralite can control the Acc-14M through a
single I/O node, two consecutive I/O nodes, or an AXIS node depending on the type of control desired.
The data exchange format is described in the following table:

To use this card the user will have to establish communications using the ring order method to activate the
nodes at MACRO Slave Device (ACC-14M). The user must also activate the nodes at the MACRO
Master Device (typically an Ultralite) to allow communications from the Master to the Slave. Once
communications is working properly the user can then setup the inputs and outputs or feedback devices.

The following sections will show the user how to setup:

• Ring Order Method of Communications

• General Purpose Inputs and outputs on ACC-14M

• Setting up Feedback Devices on ACC-14M

ASCII Ring Order Initial Binding of the ACC-14M Station

To initially bind the ACC-14M to a MACRO Master, the Ring Order method is used. When this is used
the Ring Controller sends a command out on the Ring in the ASCII communication protocol. It is asking
to talk to the first MACRO Station that does not have a Station Number (MI11=0 or STN=0). When this
communication state is entered, the Ring Controller is now talking to the MACRO Station in an ASCII
data exchange mode. That Station can be either another Turbo PMAC MACRO Station or Slave Station
like the ACC-14M. Once communication is established, the developer at the Ring Controller binds the
Station to a Master and Node (It sets the Slave Station’s MI996). It is now setup for the normal 72-bit
and 48-bit I/O exchange between the Master and Slave Station (the ACC-14M). To come back and
communicate with this Station in the ASCII data exchange, its station number (STN) is set normally to its
order on the Ring. Once this is done, the Ring Order attempts to find the next station on the Ring that has
not been setup for Ring Order (STN=0). Control T is entered. It terminates the ASCII communication
transfer between the Ring Controller and the Station and returns to normal communication with the Ring
Controller.

At a minimum, the user must set the following I-variables to enable MACRO ASCII mode
communications.

I6840=$4030 ;to enable MACRO IC0 as sync-master and node 14 for auxiliary communications
I6841=$0FCxxx ;to enable node 15 and 14. If activating nodes 0,1,4,5 we would set I6841=$0FC033
I79=32 ;Timeout value for Node 14 Auxiliary communications

If the customer is using more than one MACRO IC, then they will setup I6890, I6891, I6940, I6941, I6990,
and I6991 appropriately. Once the communication variables are modified, they must be saved to the memory
of the controller with the save command and then reset the controller with either a “$$$” command or power
cycle the controller.

Note:

The PMAC Controller will be able to communicate to the MACRO Device in
MACRO ASCII communication mode after the unit has been reset with the
changes saved to its memory. This can be done by cycling power or by ussuing
the following commands:

mssav2 ;save settings to Macro station which has node 2 activated

ms$$$2 ;reset Macro station which has node 2 activated

Establishing Communications with the ACC-14M Station

After hooking up the Ring and 24VDC power, the user can try to read and write to the IO Device.

1. Ring Order (at the Ring Controller), enter MACSTA255. Now you can assign it a Station number by
entering STN=n where n is the Station number. If a Macro I/O error is received, make sure I6840,
I6841 and I79 are set correctly. Also make sure that the Unit has not been already assigned a Station
number.

If the Station has already been assigned a Station number, there are two options:

a) Find out the station number n and enter MACSTA<n>, where n is the station number, to initiate

MACRO ASCII communication with the Station.

b) Reset the station number of all the stations by entering MACSTA0 and then enter STN=
