E3 - E6: Servo Clock Frequency Control
The servo clock (which determines how often the servo loop is closed) is derived from the phase clock
(see E29 - E33) through a "divide-by-N" counter. Jumpers E3 through E6 control this dividing function.

ON ON ON ON N = divided by 1

The setting of I-variable I10 should be adjusted to match the servo interrupt cycle time set by E98, E3 -- E6,
E29 -- E33, and the crystal clock frequency. I10 holds the length of a servo interrupt cycle, scaled so that
8,388,608 equals one millisecond. Since I10 has a maximum value of 8,388,607, the servo interrupt cycle
time should always be less than a millisecond (unless you want to make your basic unit of time on PMAC
something other than a millisecond). To have a servo sample time greater than one millisecond, the sampling
may be slowed in software with variable Ix60.
Frequency can be checked on J4 pins 21 and 22. It can also be checke d fr o m software by typing
RX:0 in the PMAC terminal at 10-second intervals and dividing the difference of successive responses by
10000. The resulting number is the approximate servo clock frequency in kHz.
If E40-E43 are set up so that the card has a software address other than @0, the servo clock signal must be
received over the serial port from card @0, so these jumpers have no effect.
All versions of the PMAC except Option 5 (30MHz), have a 19.6608MHz ("20MHz) clock crystal, even the
40 and 60 MHz CPU versions.

It may be possible to operate a board with 40 MHz components (Option 5A) at 60 MHz under some
conditions by changing the setting of jumper E48. However, this operates the components outside of their
specified operating range, and proper execution of PMAC under these conditions is not guaranteed. PMAC
software failure is possible, even probable, under these conditions, and this can lead to very dangerous
machine failure. Operation in this mode is done completely at the user’s own risk; Delta Tau can accept no
responsibility for the operation of PMAC or the machine under these conditions.
