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. The optional
communications board provides extra I/O ports and either the USB or Ethernet interface for faster
communications.
Board Configuration
Base Version
The base version of the PMAC2A PC/104 ordered with no options provides a 90mm x 95mm board with:
• 40 MHz DSP563xx CPU (80 MHz 560xx equivalent)
• 128k x 24 internal zero-wait-state SRAM
• 512k x 8 flash memory for user backup and firmware
• Latest released firmware version
• RS-232 serial interface
• Four channels axis interface circuitry, each including:
Option 6 provides an Extended (Pole-Placement) Servo Algorithm firmware instead of the regular servo
algorithm firmware. This is required only in difficult-to-control systems (resonances, backlash, friction,
disturbances, changing dynamics).
Option 6L: Multi-block Lookahead Firmware
Option 6L provides a special lookahead firmware for sophisticated acceleration and cornering profiles
execution. With the lookahead firmware PMAC controls the speed along the path automatically (but
without changing the path) to ensure that axis limits are not violated.
Option 10: Firmware Version Specification
Normally the PMAC PCI Lite is provided with the newest released firmware version. A label on the
memory IC shows the firmware version loaded at the factory. Option 10 provides for a user-specified
firmware version.
Introduction 1
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:
Option 1 provides the following ports on the Acc-1P axes
expansion board for digital I/O connections.
•
Multiplexer Port: This connector provides eight input lines and eight output lines at TTL levels.
When using the PMAC Acc-34x type boards these lines allow multiplexing large numbers of inputs
and outputs on the port. Up to 32 of the multiplexed I/O boards may be daisy-chained on the port, in
any combination.
• I/O Port: This port provides eight general-purpose digital inputs and eight general-purpose digital
outputs at 5 to 24Vdc levels. This 34-pin connector was designed for easy interface to OPTO-22 or
equivalent optically isolated I/O modules when different voltage levels or opto-isolation to the
PMAC2A PC/104 is necessary.
• Handwheel port: this port provides two extra channels, each jumper selectable between encoder input
or pulse output.

2 Introduction
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.

Acc-2P Option 2: DPRAM Circuitry
Option 2 provides an 8K x 16 dual-ported RAM for USB, Ethernet or PC/104 ports on board of the Acc2P communications board. If using for USB or Ethernet communications, Acc-2P-Opt-1A or Acc-2POpt-1B must be ordered. If used for PC/104-bus communications, PMAC2A PC/104 Option-2A must be
ordered. The key component installed with this option is U17.
Acc-2P Option 3: I/O Ports
Option 3 provides the following ports on the Acc-2P communications board for digital I/O connections.
• Multiplexer Port: this connector provides eight input lines and eight output lines at TTL levels. When
using the PMAC Acc-34x type boards these lines allow multiplexing large numbers of inputs and
outputs on the port. Up to 32 of the multiplexed I/O boards may be daisy-chained on the port, in any
combination.
• I/O Port: this port provides 16 general-purpose digital I/O lines at TTL levels and these can be
configured as all inputs, all outputs or eight inputs and eight outputs.
• Handwheel port: this port provides two extra channels, each jumper selectable between encoder input
or pulse output.
Acc-8TS Connections Board
Acc-8TS is a stack interface board to for the connection of either one or two Acc-28B A/D converter
boards. When a digital amplifier with current feedback is used, the analog inputs provided by the Acc28B cannot be used.
Acc-8ES Four-Channel Dual-DAC Analog Stack Board
Acc-8ES provides four channels of 18-bit dual-DAC with four DB-9 connectors. This accessory is
stacked to the PMAC2A PC/104 board and it is mostly used with amplifiers that require two ±10 V
command signals for sinusoidal commutation.
Acc-8FS Four-Channel Direct PWM Stack Breakout Board
Acc-8FS it is a 4-channel direct PWM stack breakout board for PMAC2A PC/104. This is used for
controlling digital amplifiers that require direct PWM control signals. When a digital amplifier with
current feedback is used, the analog inputs provided by the Option 12 of the PMAC2A PC/104 (the
Option 2 of the Acc-1P or the Acc-28B) could not be used.

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 Wpoints. 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. The
following is an overview of the several jumpers grouped in appropriate categories. For a complete
description of the jumper setup configuration, refer to the E-Point Descriptions section.
Clock Configuration Jumpers
E1: Servo and Phase Clock Direction Control – Jumper E1 should be OFF if the board is to use its
own internally generated phase and servo clock signals. In this case, these signals are output on spare
pins on the J8 RS-232 serial-port connector, where they can be used by other PMAC controllers set up to
take external phase and servo clock signals.
Jumper E1 should be ON if the board is to use externally generated phase and servo clock signals brought
in on the J8 RS-232 serial port connector. In this case, typically the clock signals are generated by
another PMAC controller and output on its serial port connector.
If E1 is ON for external phase and clock signals, and these clock signals are not brought in on the serial
port connector, the watchdog timer will trip almost immediately and shut down the board.
E2 and E4: CPU Frequency Control Jumpers – When the PMAC I46 I- variable is set to zero jumpers
E2 and E4 on the base PMAC2A PC/104 board control the frequency at which the CPU will operate (or
attempt to operate). Generally, this will be the highest frequency at which the CPU is rated to operate.
Note that it is always possible to operate a CPU at a frequency lower than its maximum rating. While it
may be possible to operate an individual processor at a frequency higher than its maximum rating,
particularly at low ambient temperatures, performance cannot be guaranteed at such a setting, and this
operation is done completely at the user’s own risk.
• If jumpers E2 and E4 are both OFF, the CPU will operate at a 40 MHz frequency.
• If E2 is ON and E4 is OFF, the CPU will operate at a 60 MHz frequency.
• If E2 is OFF and E4 is ON, the CPU will operate at an 80 MHz frequency.
If I46 is set to a value greater than 0, the operational frequency is set to 10MHz * (I46 + 1), regardless of
the jumper setting. See the Software Setup section for details on this.
E8: Phase Clock Lines Output Enable – Jump pin 1 to 2 to enable the Phase clock line on the J8
connector. Remove jumper to disconnect the Phase clock line on the J8 connector.
E9: Servo Clock Lines Output Enable – Jump pin 1 to 2 to enable the Servo clock line on the J8
connector. Remove jumper to disconnect the Servo clock line on the J8 connector.
Board Reset Jumpers
E0: Forced Reset Control – Remove E0 for normal operation. Installing E0 forces PMAC to a reset
state, and this configuration is for factory use only; the board will not operate with E0 installed.
E3: Re-Initialization on Reset Control – If E3 is OFF (default), PMAC executes a normal reset,
loading active memory from the last saved configuration in non-volatile flash memory. If E3 is ON,
PMAC re-initializes on reset, loading active memory with the factory default values.
E13: Firmware Load Jumper – If jumper E13 is ON during power-up/reset, the board comes up in
bootstrap mode which permits the loading of new firmware into the flash-memory IC on the board. When
the PMAC Executive program tries to establish communications with a board in this mode, it will detect
automatically that the board is in bootstrap mode and ask what file to download as the new firmware.
Jumper E13 must be OFF during power-up/reset for the board to come up in normal operational mode.
Baseboard Hardware Setup 5
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. The eight combinations of settings for jumpers E15A, E15B, and E15C
select which bank of the flash memory is used. In the factory production process, firmware is loaded only
into Bank 0, which is selected by having all of these jumpers OFF.
E10-E12: Power-Up State Jumpers – Jumper E10 must be OFF, jumper E11 must be ON, and jumper
E12 must be ON, in order for the CPU to copy the firmware from flash memory into active RAM on powerup/reset. This is necessary for normal operation of the card. (Other settings are for factory use only.)
E14: Watchdog Timer Jumper – Jumper E14 must be OFF for the watchdog timer to operate. This is a
very important safety feature, so it is vital that this jumper be OFF in normal operation. E14 should only
be put ON to debug problems with the watchdog timer circuit.
W1: Flash chip select – Jumper W1 in position 1-2 selects a 28F320J3A part for the U10 flash chip.
Jumper W1 in position 2-3 selects a 28F320J5A part for the U10 flash chip. This jumper is installed in
the factory and must not be changed from its default state.
Communication Jumpers
E18-E19: PC/104 Bus Base Address Control – Jumpers E18 and E19 on the PMAC2A PC/104
baseboard determine the base address of the card in the I/O space of the host PC’s bus. Together, they
specify four consecutive addresses on the bus where the card can be found. The jumpers form the base
address in the following fashion:
E18 E19 Address (hex) Address (dec)
OFF OFF $200 512
OFF ON $210 528
ON OFF $220 544
ON ON $230 560
The default base address is 528 ($210) formed with jumper E18 removed and E19 installed. This
configuration is necessary for using the USB or Ethernet ports of the Acc-2P communications board.
I/O Configuration Jumpers
E16: ADC Enable Jumper – Install E16 to enable the analog-to-digital converter circuitry ordered
through Option-12. Remove this jumper to disable this option, which might be necessary to control
motor 1 through a digital amplifier with current feedback.
Resistor Packs Configuration
Differential or Single-Ended Encoder Selection
The 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.
The ‘+’ inputs of each differential pair each have a hard-wired 1 kΩ pull-up resistor to +5V. This cannot
be changed.
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.
If this socketed resistor is configured as a pull-down resistor (the default configuration), the combination
of pull-up and pull-down resistors on this line acts as a voltage divider, holding the line at +2.5V in the
absence of an external signal. This configuration is required for single-ended inputs using the ‘+’ lines
alone; it is desirable for unconnected inputs to prevent the pick-up of spurious noise; it is permissible for
differential line-driver inputs.
6 Baseboard Hardware Setup
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. This configuration is required if complementary open-collector drivers are used; it
is permissible for differential line-driver inputs.
If Pin 1 of the resistor pack, marked by a dot on the pack, matches Pin 1 of the socket, labeled by a white
square, then the pack is configured as a bank of pull-down resistors. If the pack is reversed in the socket,
it is configured as a bank of pull-up resistors.
The following table lists the pull-up/pull-down resistor pack for each input device:
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 Acc1P for a given application and must be setup appropriately. The following is an overview of the several
jumpers grouped in appropriate categories. For a complete description of the jumper setup configuration,
refer to the Acc-1P E-Point Description section.
I/O Configuration Jumpers
E1-E2: Machine Output Supply Configure – With the default sinking output driver IC (ULN2803A or
equivalent) in U7 for the J7 JOPT port outputs, these jumpers must connect pins 1 and 2 to supply the IC
correctly. If this IC is replaced with a sourcing output driver IC (UDN2981A or equivalent), these
jumpers must be changed to connect pins 2 and 3 to supply the new IC correctly. A wrong setting of
these jumpers will damage the associated output IC.
E3-E4: JHW, PD Function Select – When jumper E3 connects pins 2 and 3, a set of pulse and direction
signals can be output on channel 1 (pins 2 to 5) of the JHW, PD port. If E3 connects pins 1 and 2, then
channel 1 is configured as a handwheel encoder input. When jumper E4 connects pins 2 and 3, a set of
pulse and direction signals can be output on channel 2 (pins 6 to 9) of the JHW, PD port. If E4 connects
pins 1 and 2, then channel 2 is configured as a handwheel encoder input.
E5: Servo Gate address select – If jumper E5 connects pins 1 and 2 (default) the servo channels on the
Acc-1P will be accessed at the regular addresses for motors 5 to 8. When E5 connects pins 2 and 3 the
servo channels on the Acc-1P board will be accessed at the regular addresses for motors 5 to 8 plus $40,
and this is useful only when two Acc-1Ps are used with the same PMAC2A PC/104 baseboard.
E6: I/O Gate address select – If jumper E6 connects pins 1 and 2 (default) the I/O features on the Acc1P will be accessed at the regular addresses and the JTHW port can be used as a multiplexer port. When
E6 connects pins 2 and 3 the I/O features on the Acc-1P board will be accessed at the regular addresses
plus $40, and this is useful only when two Acc-1P are used with the same PMAC2A PC/104 baseboard.
E7: Machine Input Source/Sink Control – With this jumper connecting pins 1 and 2 (default) the
machine input lines on the J7 JOPT port are pulled up to +5V or the externally provided supply voltage
for the port. This configuration is suitable for sinking drivers. If the jumper is changes to connect pins 2
and 3, these lines are pulled down to GND – this configuration is suitable for sourcing drivers.
E16: ADC Enable Jumper – Install E16 to enable the analog-to-digital converter circuitry ordered
through Option-2. Remove this jumper to disable this option, which might be necessary to control motor
5 through a digital amplifier with current feedback.

it is configured as a bank of pull-up resistors. The following table lists the pull-up/pull-down resistor
pack for each input device:
The PMAC provides a socket for termination resistors on the handwheel encoder differential input pairs
coming into the board. As shipped, there is no resistor pack in the RP56 socket. If these signals are
brought long distances into the PMAC board and ringing at signal transitions is a problem, a SIP resistor
pack may be mounted on the RP56 socket to reduce or eliminate the ringing. The 6-pin termination
resistor pack is the type that has independent resistors (no common connection) with each resistor using 2
adjacent pins.

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. The following is an overview of the several jumpers

I/O Configuration Jumpers
E3-E4: JHW, PD Function Select – When jumper E3 connects pins 2 and 3, a set of pulse and direction
signals can be output on channel 1 (pins 2 to 5) of the JHW, PD port. If E3 connects pins 1 and 2, then
channel 1 is configured as a handwheel encoder input. When jumper E4 connects pins 2 and 3, a set of
pulse and direction signals can be output on channel 2 (pins 6 to 9) of the JHW, PD port. If E4 connects
pins 1 and 2, then channel 2 is configured as a handwheel encoder input.
E5: I/O Gate address select – If jumper E5 connects pins 1 and 2 the I/O features on the Acc-2P will be
accessed at the regular addresses and the JTHW port can be used as a multiplexer port. When E5
connects pins 2 and 3 the I/O features on the Acc-2P board will be accessed at the regular addresses plus
$40, and this is necessary only when both Acc-2P and Acc-1P are used with the same PMAC2A PC/104
baseboard.
E7-E10: Ports Direction Control – These jumpers select the I/O lines direction of the JTHW and the
JOPT connectors. This allows configuring these ports as all inputs, all outputs or half inputs and half
outputs according to the following tables:
JTHW Connector
E7 E8
OFF OFF Output Output OFF OFF Output Output
OFF ON Output Input OFF ON Output Input
ON OFF Input Output ON OFF Input Output
ON ON Input Input ON ON Input Input
If E7 is removed or E8 is installed then the multiplexing feature if the JTHW port cannot be used.

Communication Jumpers
E1: USB/Ethernet Micro Controller Firmware reload enable – This jumper was added on revision –
103 and above of the Acc-2P. Factory default position is ON, and it should remain ON. If the firmware
was corrupted due to a previous firmware download, the card firmware may be reloaded by powering on
the card with the jumper off, installing the jumper without powering off, then downloading firmware with
out powering off. Under normal circumstances, this jumper should be on even when upgrading firmware.
E6: Communications Port Selection – When jumper E6 connects pins 1 and 2 the PC/104
communications port is enabled. If E6 connects pins 2 and 3 the Ethernet or USB ports are enabled. Only
one port can be used at a time. If either the Ethernet or USB ports are used then jumper E19 on the base
board must be installed and jumper E18 on the base board must be removed. In order to communicate
through the RS-232 serial port jumper E6 must be installed, either in position 1-2 or 2-3.

If this socketed resistor is configured as a pull-down resistor (the default configuration), the combination
of pull-up and pull-down resistors on this line acts as a voltage divider, holding the line at +2.5V in the
absence of an external signal. This configuration is required for single-ended inputs using the ‘+’ lines
alone; it is desirable for unconnected inputs to prevent the pick-up of spurious noise; it is permissible for
differential line-driver inputs.
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. This configuration is required if complementary open-collector drivers are used; it
is permissible for differential line-driver inputs.
If Pin 1 of the resistor pack, marked by a dot on the pack, matches Pin 1 of the socket, labeled by a white
square, then the pack is configured as a bank of pull-down resistors. If the pack is reversed in the socket,
it is configured as a bank of pull-up resistors.
RP22 is the 6-pin pull-up/pull-down resistor pack for the handwheel encoder input.
Handwheel Encoder Termination Resistors
The PMAC provides a socket for termination resistors on the handwheel encoder differential input pairs
coming into the board. As shipped, there is no resistor pack in the RP23 socket. If these signals are
brought long distances into the PMAC board and ringing at signal transitions is a problem, a SIP resistor
pack may be mounted on the RP23 socket to reduce or eliminate the ringing. The 6-pin termination
resistor pack is the type that has independent resistors (no common connection) with each resistor using
two adjacent pins.

MACHINE CONNECTIONS
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
• 50-Pin IDC header to terminal block breakouts (Phoenix part number 2281089) Delta Tau part
number 100-FLKM50-000
Mounting
The PMAC2A PC/104 is always installed either using standoffs, when it is
stacked to a PC/104 computer or used as a stand-alone controller. At each of
the four corners of the PMAC2A PC/104 board, there are mounting holes that
can be used to mount the board on standoffs.
The PMAC2A PC/104 baseboard is placed always at the bottom of the stack.
The order of the Acc-1P or Acc-2P with respect to the baseboard does not
matter.
Power Supplies
Baseboard mounted at
the bottom of the stack
Digital Power Supply
3A @ +5V (±5%) (15 W)
(Eight-channel configuration, with a typical load of encoders)
The PMAC2A PC/104, the Acc-1P and the Acc-2P each require a 1A @ 5VDC power supply for
operation. Therefore, a 3A @ 5VDC power supply is recommended for a PMAC2A PC/104 board stack
with Acc-1P and Acc-2P boards.
• The host computer provides the 5 Volts power supply in the case PMAC is installed in the PC/104
bus. With the board stack into the bus, it will automatically pull +5V power from the bus and it
cannot be disconnected. In this case, there must be no external +5V supply, or the two supplies will
"fight" each other, possibly causing damage. This voltage could be measured on the TB1 terminal
block or the JMACH1 connector.
• In a stand-alone configuration, when PMAC is not plugged in a computer bus, it will need an external
5V supply to power its digital circuits. The 5V power supply can be brought in either from the TB1
terminal block or from the JMACH1 connector.
DAC Outputs Power Supply
0.3A @ +12 to +15V (4.5W)
0.25A @ -12 to -15V (3.8W)
(Eight-channel configuration)
• The host computer provides the ±12 Volts power supply in the case PMAC is installed in the PC/104
bus. With the board stack into the bus, it will pull ±12V power from the bus automatically and it
cannot be disconnected. In this case, there must be no external ±12V supply, or the two supplies will
fight each other, possibly causing damage. This voltage could be measured on the TB1 terminal
block.
• In a stand-alone configuration, when PMAC is not plugged in a computer bus, it will need an external
±12V supply only when the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) outputs are used. The ±12V lines
from the supply, including the ground reference, can be brought in either from the TB1 terminal block
or from the JMACH1 connector.

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.
Overtravel Limits and Home Switches
When assigned for the dedicated uses, these signals provide important safety and accuracy functions.
PLIMn and MLIMn are direction-sensitive over-travel limits that must conduct current to permit motion
in that direction. If no over-travel switches will be connected to a particular motor, this feature must be
disabled in the software setup through the PMAC Ix25 variable.
Types of Overtravel Limits
PMAC expects a closed-to-ground connection for the limits to not be considered on fault. This
arrangement provides a failsafe condition. Usually, a passive normally close switch is used. If a
proximity switch is needed instead, use a 5 to 24V normally closed to ground NPN sinking type sensor.
Home Switches
While normally closed-to-ground switches are required for the overtravel limits inputs, the home switches
could be either normally close or normally open types. The polarity is determined by the home sequence
setup, through the I-variables I9n2. However, for the following reasons, the same type of switches used
for over-travel limits are recommended:
• Normally closed switches are proven to have greater electrical noise rejection than normally open types.
• Using the same type of switches for every input flag simplifies maintenance stock and replacements.
Motor Signals Connections
Incremental Encoder Connection
Each JMACH1 connector provides two +5V outputs and two logic grounds for powering encoders and
other devices. The +5V outputs are on pins 1 and 2; the grounds are on pins 3 and 4. The encoder signal
pins are grouped by number: all those numbered 1 (CHA1+, CHA1-, CHB1+, CHC1+, etc.) belong to
encoder #1. The encoder number does not have to match the motor number, but usually does. Connect
the A and B (quadrature) encoder channels to the appropriate terminal block pins. For encoder 1, the
CHA1+ is pin 5 and CHB1+ is pin 9. If there is a single-ended signal, leave the complementary signal
pins floating – do not ground them. However, if single-ended encoders are used, check the settings of the
resistor packs (see the Hardware Setup section for details). For a differential encoder, connect the
complementary signal lines – CHA1- is pin 7, and CHB1- is pin 11. The third channel (index pulse) is
optional; for encoder 1, CHC1+ is pin 13, and CHC1- is pin 15.
Example: differential quadrature encoder connected to channel #1:

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. For a single-ended command using PMAC channel 1, connect DAC1+ (pin
29) to the command input on the amplifier. Connect the amplifier’s command signal return line to
PMAC’s GND line (pin 48). In this setup, leave the DAC1- pin floating; do not ground it.
For a differential command using PMAC channel 1, connect DAC1 (pin 29) to the plus-command input
on the amplifier. Connect DAC1- (pin 31) to the minus-command input on the amplifier. PMAC’s GND
should still be connected to the amplifier common.
To limit the range of each signal to ±5V, use parameter Ix69. Any analog output not used for dedicated
servo purposes may be utilized as a general-purpose analog output. Usually this is done by defining an
M-variable to the digital-to-analog-converter register (suggested M-variable definitions M102, M202,
etc.), then writing values to the M-variable. The analog outputs are intended to drive high-impedance
inputs with no significant current draw. The 220Ω output resistors will keep the current draw lower than
50 mA in all cases and prevent damage to the output circuitry, but any current draw above 10 mA can
result in noticeable signal distortion.
Example:
Pulse and Direction (Stepper) Drivers
The channels provided by the PMAC2A PC/104 board or the Acc-1P board can output pulse and
direction signals for controlling stepper drivers or hybrid amplifiers. These signals are at TTL levels.
Amplifier Enable Signal (AENAx/DIRn)
Most amplifiers have an enable/disable input that permits complete shutdown of the amplifier regardless
of the voltage of the command signal. PMAC’s AENA line is meant for this purpose. AENA1- is pin 33.
This signal is an open-collector output and an external 3.3 kΩ pull-up resistor can be used if necessary.
Machine Connections 15
PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual
Amplifier Fault Signal (FAULT-)
This input can take a signal from the amplifier so PMAC knows when the amplifier is having problems,
and can shut down action. The polarity is programmable with I-variable Ix25 (I125 for motor 1) and the
return signal is ground (GND). FAULT1- is pin 35. With the default setup, this signal must actively be
pulled low for a fault condition. In this setup, if nothing is wired into this input, PMAC will consider the
motor not to be in a fault condition.
Acc-1P General-Purpose Digital Inputs and Outputs (J7 Port)
Acc-1P J7 connector provides eight general-purpose digital inputs and eight general-purpose digital
outputs. Each input and each output has its own corresponding ground pin in the opposite row. The 34pin 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:
• 16 I/O points. 100 mA per channel, up to 24V
• Hardware selectable between sinking and sourcing in groups of 8; default is all sinking (inputs can be
changed simply by moving a jumper; sourcing outputs must be special-ordered or field-configured)
• Eight inputs, and eight outputs only; no changes. Parallel (fast) communications to PMAC CPU
• Not opto-isolated; easily connected to Opto-22 (PB16) or similar modules through Acc-21F cable
Jumper E7 on the Acc-1P board controls the configuration of the eight inputs. If it connects pins 1 and 2
(the default setting), the inputs are biased to +5V for the OFF state, and they must be pulled low for the
ON state. If E7 connects pins 2 and 3, the inputs are biased to ground for the OFF state, and must be
pulled high for the ON state. In either case, a high voltage is interpreted as a 0 by the PMAC software,
and a low voltage is interpreted as a 1.
PMAC is shipped standard with a ULN2803A sinking (open-collector) output IC for the eight outputs.
These outputs can sink up to 100 mA and have an internal 3.3 kΩ pull-up resistor to go high (RP18). Do
not connect these outputs directly to the supply voltage, or damage to the PMAC will result from
excessive current draw. The user can provide a high-side voltage (+5 to +24V) into Pin 33 of the J7
connector, and allow this to pull up the outputs by connecting pins 1 and 2 of Jumper E1. Jumper E2
must also connect pins 1 and 2 for a ULN2803A sinking output.
It is possible for these outputs to be sourcing drivers by substituting a UDN2981A IC for the ULN2803A.
This U7 IC is socketed, and so may easily be replaced. Usually the U7 IC is offset by two pins on its
socket, and so pins 1 and 2 usually remain open.
WARNING
Having Jumpers E1 and E2 set wrong can damage the IC. The +V output on this
connector has a 2A fuse, F1, for excessive current protection.
Machine Connections
16
PMAC2A PC104 Hardware Reference Manual
For this driver, the internal resistor packs pull-down instead. With a UDN2981A driver IC, Jumper E1
must connect pins 2 and 3, and Jumper E2 must connect pins 2 and 3.
Example: Standard configuration using the ULN2803A sinking (open-collector) output IC.
Further software settings are required to configure this port. See the Software Setup section for details.
Acc-2P General-Purpose Digital Inputs and Outputs (JOPT Port)
Acc-2P JOPT connector provides sixteen lines of general-purpose I/O. In contrast with the Acc-1P J7
connector, the lines on the Acc-2P JOPT connector are limited to TTL levels and are usually used with
external I/O modules. Each I/O line has its own corresponding ground pin in the opposite row. The 34pin 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.
Jumpers E9 and E10 on the Acc-2P board select the I/O lines direction of the JOPT connector. This
allows configuring this port as all inputs, all outputs or half inputs and half outputs. Further software
settings are required to configure this port. See the Software Setup section for details on this.
Acc-1P Thumbwheel Multiplexer Port (J2 Port)
The Thumbwheel Multiplexer Port, or Multiplexer Port, on the J2 connector has eight input lines and
eight output lines. The output 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. Either the Acc-1P or the Acc-2P boards, but not both, can use this connector as a
multiplexing port. This is selected by jumper E6 on the Acc-1P board and jumper E5 on the Acc-2P
board.
Alternatively, the inputs and outputs on this port may be used as discrete, non-multiplexed I/O. In this
case, these I/O lines can be accessed through M-variables. See the Software Setup section for details on
this.
Acc-2P Thumbwheel Multiplexer Port (JTHW Port)
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. Either the
Acc-1P or the Acc-2P boards, but not both, can use this connector as a multiplexing port. This is selected
by jumper E6 on the Acc-1P board and jumper E5 on the Acc-2P board.
Alternatively, the inputs and outputs on this port may be used as discrete, non-multiplexed I/O. In this
case, these I/O lines can be accessed through M-variables. See the Software Setup section for details on
this.
Machine Connections 17
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. If E7 is removed or E8 is installed then the multiplexing feature if the JTHW port cannot be
used.
Acc-1P or Acc-2P Handwheel Port (JHW / PD Port)
This port provides an extra encoder input or a set of pulse and direction outputs. Jumpers E3 and E4 on
either the Acc-1P or Acc-2P boards select the function of this connector between encoder input or pulse
and direction outputs. The handwheel encoder input can be linked to a servomotor for manual
displacement or used by a motor as a secondary encoder for dual-feedback applications. There is no C
index channel input on the handwheel encoder port. The pulse and direction outputs can be used, for
example, to control an external laser device but not a stepper driver\motor, since this would require more
than eight axes of motion control.
Optional Analog Inputs
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 analog inputs with
a ±10Vdc range.
Compare Equal Outputs
The compare-equals (EQU) outputs have a dedicated use of providing a signal edge when an encoder
position reaches a pre-loaded value. This is very useful for scanning and measurement applications.
Instructions for use of these outputs are covered in detail in the PMAC2 User Manual.

Serial Port (JRS232 Port)
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. If a cable needs to be made, the easiest approach is to
use a flat cable prepared with flat-cable type connectors as indicated in the following diagram:
This connector is used for Ethernet communications from the Acc-2P to a PC, and it is provided when
Acc-2P Option 1B is ordered. The PC must have a card dedicated solely to the PMAC network. The
appropriate Category 5 10/100-Base T network cable that mates to this connector can be readily
purchased from any local computer store. The type of network cable to purchase depends on the
configuration to the host PC.
When making a direct connection to a Host communication Ethernet card in a PC a cat 5 networking
crossover cable must be used. A standard cat 5 straight through networking cable cannot be used in this
scenario. When using a connection to a network hub or switch, the standard cat 5 straight through
networking cable must be used, and not a crossover cable.
Performance can be degraded seriously by the use of a hub or switch. Network hubs or the more
intelligent network switches have processors inside them, which can add delays of at least 15msec to the
PMAC communications.
Acc-2P USB Connector (J1 Port)
This connector is to be used in conjunction with USB A-B cable, which can be purchased from any local
computer store, and it is provided when Acc-2P Option 1A is ordered. The A connector is connected to a
PC or Hub device; the B connector plugs into the Acc-2P J1 port.

SOFTWARE SETUP
Note:
The PMAC2A PC/104 requires the use of V1.17 or newer firmware. There are
few differences between the previous V1.16H firmware and the V1.17 firmware
other than the addition of internal support for the 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.
PMAC I-Variables
PMAC has a large set of Initialization parameters (I-variables) that determine the "personality" of the card
for a specific application. Many of these are used to configure a motor properly. Once set up, these
variables may be stored in non-volatile EAROM memory (using the SAVE command) so the card is
always configured properly (PMAC loads the EAROM I-variable values into RAM on power-up).
The programming features and configuration variables for the PMAC2A PC/104 are described fully in the
PMAC2 User and Software manuals.
Operational Frequency and Baud Rate Setup
Note:
Older PMAC boards required a start-up PLC for setting the operational frequency
at 80 MHz. That method is not compatible with the PMAC2A PC/104 board and
will shutdown the board when used.
The operational frequency of the CPU can be set in software by the variable I46. If this variable is set to
0, PMAC firmware looks at the jumpers E2 and E4 to set the operational frequency for 40, 60, and 80
MHz operation. If I46 is set to a value greater than 0, the operational frequency is set to 10MHz * (I46 +
1), regardless of the jumper setting. If the desired operational frequency is higher than the maximum
rated frequency for that CPU, the operational frequency will be reduced to the rated maximum. It is
always possible to operate the Flex CPU board at a frequency below its rated maximum. I46 is used only
at power-up/reset, so to change the operational frequency, set a new value of I46, issue a SAVE command
to store this value in non-volatile flash memory, then issue a $$$ command to reset the controller.
To determine the frequency at which the CPU is actually operating, issue the TYPE command to the
PMAC. The PMAC will respond with five data items, the last of which is CLK Xn, where n is the
multiplication factor from the 20 MHz crystal frequency (not 10 MHz). n should be equivalent to
(I46+1)/2 if I46 is not requesting a frequency greater than the maximum rated for that CPU board. n will
be 2 for 40 MHz operation, 4 for 80 MHz operation, and 8 for 160 MHz operation.
Software Setup 23
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:
n = channel number from 1 to 8
x = motor number from 1 to 8

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:
When using these lines as regular I/O points the appropriate setting of the Ix25
variable must be used to enable or disable the safety flags feature.
General-Purpose Digital Inputs and Outputs
If one Acc-1P is present on the PMAC2A PC/104 stack configuration then its jumpers E5 and E6 should be
set at the default position 1-2. In this case, the lines on its J7 general-purpose I/O connector will be mapped
into PMAC’s address space in register Y:$C080. Jumpers E5 and E6 should be configured on position 2-3
only when two Acc-1Ps are used. In this case, the I/O lines can be accessed at address Y:$C0C0.
If no Acc-1P is present on the PMAC2A PC/104 stack configuration, and only Acc-2P is used, then
jumper E5 on the Acc-2P board should connect pins 1 and 2. In this case the lines on its JOPT generalpurpose I/O connector will be mapped into PMAC's address space in register Y:$C080.
If both Acc-1P and Acc-2P are used, then jumper E5 on the Acc-2P board should connect pins 2 and 3
and its I/O lines can be accessed at address Y:$C0C0.
Typically, these I/O lines are accessed individually with M-variables. Following is a suggested set of Mvariable definitions to use these data lines.

in unmultiplexed form for 16 discrete I/O points, most users will utilize PMAC software and accessories to use
this port in multiplexed form to greatly multiply the number of I/O that can be accessed on this port. In
multiplexed form, some of the SELn outputs are used to select which of the multiplexed I/O are to be accessed.

This connector is used for Ethernet communications from the Acc-2P to a PC, and it is provided when Acc-2P
Option 1B is ordered. The appropriate Category 5 10/100-Base T network cable that mates to this connector can
be readily purchased from any local computer store. The type of network cable to purchase depends on the
configuration to the host PC.
When making a direct connection to a Host communication Ethernet card in a PC a cat 5 networking crossover
cable must be used. A standard cat 5 straight through networking cable cannot be used in this scenario. When
using a connection to a network hub or switch, the standard cat 5 straight through networking cable must be used,
and not a crossover cable.
