INTRODUCTION
Overview
The Advantage 900 Remote Operator Pendant is a compact and highly functional handheld
machine control device. The unit is supplied with the Advantage 900 Basic Package or can be
purchased separately for custom machine control applications. The unit interfaces to PMAC
and/or UMAC controls via a special driver embedded in the Pcommserver Software device
driver. The Advantage 900 Remote Operator Pendant is optionally available in a wireless
Bluetooth version.
The Advantage 900 Remote Operator Pendant includes a secondary relay interface board. This
board provides a convenient way to interface a latching power-on circuit for machines, includes
provisions for interfacing Emergency Stop circuitry, and also serves to accommodate the
transceiver hardware when the optional Bluetooth hardware is present.
The Advantage 900 Relay Board requires a 24VDC always-on circuit if the latching power-on
features are to be utilized. This 24VDC power-supply is intended to be always on unless the
machine is disconnected from the main power disconnect. The current requirements of the
24VDC power supply depend on the user’s circuit design. Utilizing the always-on circuitry of the
relay board is optional and does not affect the functionality of the remote handheld pendant.

Advantage 900 Remote Operator Pendant
Communication Interface
The Advantage 900 Remote Operator Pendant communicates to the PMAC/UMAC through the
Pcommserver device driver. The Pcommserver device driver is initialized when any Delta Tau
Pro2 based software is started. During the initialization sequence the device driver will
automatically detect when the Advantage 900 Remote Operator Pendant is present and begin
transferring data to the PMAC/UMAC via Dual Ported Ram memory addresses (see the Software
Setup section of this manual for more information).
The Advantage 900 Remote Operator Pendant connects directly to a PC via either a USB2.0 port
or RS232 Serial Port (when using the wireless option). The Pcommserver transfers the
information to the PMAC via the device driver. The Advantage 900 Remote Operator Pendant
does not connect directly to the PMAC.
When the optional wireless version is used, the connection to the PC is via the RS232 port located
on the Advantage 900 Relay Board, not directly from the handheld unit.

Connections
Advantage 900 Remote Operator Pendant
The Advantage 900 Remote Operator Pendant requires very few connections. The USB2.0 cabled
version simply needs to be plugged into a PC’s back panel USB2.0 port and earth grounded for
safety (a grounding wire is included with the cable assembly). An Emergency Stop Loop is
included to interface with the machines safety circuitry. This loop passes through a normally
closed set of contacts in the Emergency Stop switch housed in the handheld unit. The Advantage
900 Relay board provides a convenient method to interface this circuitry.
The wireless version includes a charging cable which connects directly to a standard PC disk
drive connector. The Emergency Stop circuitry is not present on the wireless unit and is replaced
by a Stop circuit which is electronically sensed and distributed at the Advantage 900 Relay
Board.
HARDWARE SETUP

Advantage 900 Remote Operator Pendant
No other connections are required for the handheld portion of the device.
Advantage 900 Relay Board
The Advantage 900 Relay Board provides a convenient way to interface a latching power-on
circuit for machines, includes various hooks for interfacing Emergency Stop circuitry, and also
serves to accommodate the transceiver hardware when the optional Bluetooth hardware is
present.
The Advantage 900 Relay Board requires a 24VDC always-on circuit if the latching power-on
features are to be utilized. This 24VDC power-supply is intended to be always on unless the
machine is disconnected from the main power disconnect. The current requirements of the
24VDC power supply depend on the user’s circuit design.
The following is a description of the connections when using the Advantage 900 Relay Board.
See the Connector Description section for complete details of these connectors.
J4 – PC Power Connector
J4 connects to a standard PC floppy drive power connector. The +12VDC controls the state of the
PC-Power relay for both versions. The +5VDC is used by the Bluetooth circuitry in the wireless
version.
J5 – Wireless Antennae Connector (Wireless Version Only)
J5 connects to the antennae for the wireless Bluetooth version only.
J7 – RS-232 Port (Wireless Version Only)
J7 connects to an RS-232 port on the PC. This is only required for wireless Bluetooth versions
only.
J8 – Machine Power On Button
J8 connects to a momentary switch which controls the latching power-on circuitry built into the
Advantage 900 Relay board. This is connected to the green power button on the front of the
Advantage 900 console units when complete systems are purchased.
J9 – Estop Switch
J9 usually connects to the Emergency Stop switch located on the front of Advantage 900 console
units. Pins 1-2 are part of the Estop Loop and must be connected to complete the circuit between
pins 5-6 on terminal block J13. Pins 3-4 are part of the Estop Status Loop and must be connected
to complete the circuit between pins 7-8 on terminal block J13.
See the wiring diagrams in Appendix B for example of how these circuits can be used.
J13 – Machine Interface Terminal Block 1
Pins 1-2: Latching Power-On circuit actuated via a momentary contact switch attached to
connector J8 (the Green button on Advantage 900 Console units). Once this circuit is energized it
latches the relay contacts through pins 3-4 of the same connector.
Pins 3-4: Power-On relay contacts. Use this circuit to enable or turn on anything you wish after
the power-on latch is activated. Usually this is used to turn on a larger magnetic contactor inside
the main electrical cabinet. Through this circuit you can control the entire machine power on/off
