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
8
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
HARDWARE SETUP

circuitry.
Pins 5-6: Estop Circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams in Appendix B for various ways to
configure this Emergency Stop circuit.
Pins 7-8: Estop Status Circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams in Appendix B for various ways to
configure this Emergency Stop circuit.
Pins 9-10: Power-Off input. Applying 24VDC across this circuit will open the latched power-on
circuit. Use an external signal such as a PMAC or other output to power down the entire system.
J14 – Machine Interface Terminal Block 2
Pins 1-2: Remote Estop Enable. Applying 24VDC across this circuit from an external output or
safety PLC will actuate an Estop condition in both Estop circuits on J13 (Pins 5-6 and 7-8).
Pins 3-4: A convenient place to wire additional Estop devices. If your system includes a cabled
remote pendant it will be connected here. This circuit can also be used independently to monitor
the status of Bluetooth communication integrity in wireless versions. Refer to the wiring diagrams
in Appendix B for various ways to configure this circuit.
Pins 5-6: A dry relay contact for monitoring the PC power supply status. This can be used to
monitor the PC from the PMAC and initiate a complete system shutdown via pins 9-10 of J13
when a power-down is desired.
Field-Wiring Connections
There are two different relay boards, depending on which Pendant is being connected. For the
wired Pendant, configure the jumpers in the appropriate manner and follow the diagram
below.
HARDWARE SETUP
10
Advantage 900 Remote Operator Pendant
Wired diagram
For the wireless Pendant, there are two configurations. In Wireless version 1, a loss of Bluetooth

APPENDIX A - BLUETOOTH COMMANDER –
PROGRAMMING WIRELESS UNITS
Bluetooth-enabled Remote Operator Pendants and associated relay boards are programmed at the
factory to operate as a unique pair. A particular handheld unit will communicate to a particular
relay board only if it has been programmed to do so in advance.
In some rare instances, it is necessary to field program these devices. The following instructions
describe how to do so.
Please note that a special cable is necessary to program the unit. This cable is available through
Delta Tau or can be sourced from a third-party vendor. This cable connects to J2 (USB2.0) on the
Remote Handheld unit.
Bluetooth Re-Programming Procedure
Step 1
Be sure the Advantage 900 Relay Board is connected to the PC via an unused serial port. Make
note of the port number.
Step 2
Launch the Simply Blue Commander utility which is included with all Advantage 900 systems.
The application will be located in the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\Advantage 900 User\My Documents\Adv900 Comm Software\Util
If you do not have this application, contact Delta Tau technical support to have it emailed to you.
Step 3
Select the Local Bluetooth Settings Folder and expand it by double-clicking (see the screenshot
on the following page).
Step 4
Double-click the Read Local Device Address and record the value as shown in the screenshot on
the following page. Confirm that the Simply Blue Commander is in “Interpret Mode” by rightclicking in the Transport Layer Log screen and verifying that Interpret Traffic mode has been
checkmarked as shown below.

Step 5
Convert the values from hexadecimal to decimal using a scientific calculator such as that included
with Microsoft Windows (see screenshots below). Record these values for future use.
Example: 0E 02 2D 17 00 08 Converts to: 14 2 45 23 0 8
Step 6
Connect the Advantage 900 Remote Handheld unit to the PC using the special USB2.0 cable (J2
on the Advantage 900 Pendant Board). You must open the remote handheld unit by removing the
six faceplate attaching screws to do this.
