The Turbo PMAC PCI is a member of the Turbo PMAC family of boards optimized for interface to
traditional servo drives with single analog inputs representing velocity or torque commands. Its
software is capable of 32 axes of control. It can have up to eight channels of on-board axis interface
circuitry. It can also support up to 32 channels of off-board axis interface circuitry through its
expansion port, connected to Acc-24P or Acc-24P2 boards.
The Turbo PMAC PCI is a full-sized PCI-bus expansion card, with a small piggyback board
containing the CPU. This piggyback board occupies part of the next slot, but ½-sized boards (such as
the Option 2 Dual-Ported RAM board) are also permitted in this next slot. While the Turbo PMAC
PCI is capable of PCI bus communications, with or without the optional dual-ported RAM, it does not
need to be inserted into a PCI expansion slot. Communications can be done through an RS-232 or
RS-422 serial port. Standalone operation is possible.
Board Configuration
Base Version
The base version of the Turbo PMAC PCI provides a 1-1/2-slot board with:
• 80 MHz DSP56303 CPU (120 MHz PMAC equivalent)
• 128k x 24 SRAM compiled/assembled program memory (5C0)
• 128k x 24 SRAM user data memory (5C0)
• 1M x 8 flash memory for user backup & firmware (5C0)
• Latest released firmware version
• RS-232/422 serial interface, PCI (PC) bus interface
• 4 channels axis interface circuitry, each including:
• Option 1 provides an additional four channels of on-board axis interface circuitry, identical to the
standard first four channels.
Option 2: Dual-Ported RAM
Dual-ported RAM provides a very high-speed communications path for bus communications with the
host computer through a bank of shared memory. DPRAM is advised if more than 100 data items per
second are to be passed between the controller and the host computer in either direction.
• Option 2 provides an 8k x 16 bank of dual-ported RAM on a separate half-slot board.
Option 2B: High-Speed USB Communications Interface
Option-2B provides the high-speed USB communications interface, which is a faster method of
communication than the standard RS-232 communications port.
Introduction 1
Turbo PMAC PCI HRM
Option 4: CPU Type
The Turbo PMAC PC CPU piggyback board comes standard with a DSP56303 CPU IC as component
U1. This CPU has enough internal memory to process the servo and commutation for the first 15
motors. The algorithms for the last 17 motors must be processed from slower external memory. The
optional DSP56309 CPU has additional internal memory, so the processing of these motors is
significantly improved. The processor type in the board is reported on receipt of the CPU command.
• Option 4C: 80 MHz DSP56309 CPU IC. Recommended for control of more than 16 axes,
especially with PMAC-based commutation. Not compatible with Options 5Dx.
• Option 4D: 100 MHz DSP56309 CPU IC. Recommended for control of more than 16 axes,
especially with PMAC-based commutation. Not compatible with Options 5Cx (including the
default Option 5C0.
Option 5: CPU and Memory Configurations
The various versions of Option 5 provide different CPU speeds and main memory sizes on the
piggyback CPU board. Only one Option 5xx may be selected for the board.
The CPU is a DSP5630x IC as component U1. It is currently available only as an 80 MHz device
(with computational power equivalent to a 120 MHz non-Turbo PMAC).
The compiled/assembled-program memory SRAM ICs are located in U14, U15, and U16. These ICs
form the active memory for the firmware, compiled PLCs, and user-written phase/servo algorithms.
These can be 128k x 8 ICs (for a 128k x 24 bank), fitting in the smaller footprint, or they can be the
larger 512k x 8 ICs (for a 512k x 24 bank), fitting in the full footprint.
The user-data memory SRAM ICs are located in U11, U12, and U13. These ICs form the active
memory for user motion programs, uncompiled PLC programs, and user tables and buffers. These can
be 128k x 8 ICs (for a 128k x 24 bank), fitting in the smaller footprint, or they can be the larger 512k
x 8 ICs (for a 512k x 24 bank), fitting in the full footprint.
The flash memory IC is located in U10. This IC forms the non-volatile memory for the board’s
firmware, the user setup variables, and for user programs, tables, and buffers. It can be 1M x 8, 2M x
8, or 4M x 8 in capacity.
• Option 5C0 is the standard CPU and memory configuration. It is provided automatically if
Option 5xx is not specified. It provides an 80 MHz CPU (120 MHz PMAC equivalent), 128k
x24 of compiled/assembled program memory, 128k x 24 of user data memory; and a 1M x 8 flash
memory.
• Option 5C1 provides an 80 MHz CPU (120 MHz PMAC equivalent), 128k x 24 of
compiled/assembled program memory, an expanded 512k x 24 of user data memory, and a 2M x
8 flash memory.
• Option 5C2 provides an 80 MHz CPU (120 MHz PMAC equivalent), an expanded 512k x 24 of
compiled/assembled program memory, 128k x 24 of user data memory, and a 2M x 8 flash
memory.
• Option 5C3 provides an 80 MHz CPU (120 MHz PMAC equivalent), an expanded 512k x 24 of
compiled/assembled program memory, an expanded 512k x 24 of user data memory, and a 4M x
8 flash memory.
• Option 5D0 provides a 100 MHz CPU (150 MHz PMAC equivalent), 128k x24 of
compiled/assembled program memory, 128k x 24 of user data memory; and a 1M x 8 flash
memory.
• Option 5D1 provides a 100 MHz CPU (150 MHz PMAC equivalent), 128k x 24 of
compiled/assembled program memory, an expanded 512k x 24 of user data memory, and a 2M x
8 flash memory.
2 Introduction
Turbo PMAC PCI HRM
• Option 5D2 provides a 100 MHz CPU (150 MHz PMAC equivalent), an expanded 512k x 24 of
compiled/assembled program memory, 128k x 24 of user data memory, and a 2M x 8 flash
memory.
• Option 5D3 provides a 100 MHz CPU (150 MHz PMAC equivalent), an expanded 512k x 24 of
compiled/assembled program memory, an expanded 512k x 24 of user data memory, and a 4M x
8 flash memory.
Option 7: Plate Mounting
Option 7 provides a mounting plate connected to the PMAC with standoffs. It is used to install the
PMAC in standalone applications.
Option 8: High-Accuracy Clock Crystal
The Turbo PMAC PC has a clock crystal (component Y1) of nominal frequency 19.6608 MHz (~20
MHz). The standard crystal’s accuracy specification is +/-100 ppm.
• Option 8A provides a nominal 19.6608 MHz crystal with a +/-15 ppm accuracy specification.
Option 9T: Auxiliary Serial Port
Option 9T adds an auxiliary RS-232 port on the CPU piggyback board. The key components added
are IC U22 and connector J8 on the CPU board.
Option 10: Firmware Version Specification
Normally the Turbo PMAC PC is provided with the newest released firmware version. A label on the
U10 flash memory IC shows the firmware version loaded at the factory.
• Option 10 provides for a user-specified firmware version.
Option 12: Analog-to-Digital Converters
• Option 12 permits the installation of 8 or 16 channels of on-board multiplexed analog-to-digital
converters. One or two of these converters are read every phase interrupt. The analog inputs are
not optically isolated, and each can have a 0 – 5V input range, or a +/-2.5V input range,
individually selectable.
• Option 12 provides an 8-channel 12-bit A/D converter. The key components on the board are
U20 and connector J30.
• Option 12A provides an additional 8-channel 12-bit A/D converter. The key component on the
board is U22.
Option 15: V-to-F Converter for Analog Input
The JPAN control panel port on the Turbo PMAC PC has an optional analog input called Wiper
(because it is often tied to a potentiometer’s wiper pin). Turbo PMAC PC can digitize this signal by
passing it through an optional voltage-to-frequency converter, using E-point jumpers to feed this into
the Encoder 4 circuitry (no other use is then permitted), and executing frequency calculations using
the time base feature of the encoder conversion table.
• Option 15 provides a voltage-to-frequency converter that permits the use of the Wiper input on
the control panel port.
Option 16: Battery-Backed Parameter Memory
The contents of the standard memory are not retained through a power-down or reset unless they have
been saved to flash memory first. Option 16 provides supplemental battery-backed RAM for realtime parameter storage that is ideal for holding machine state parameters in case of an unexpected
power-down. The battery is located at component BT1.
• Option 16A provides a 32k x 24 bank of battery-backed parameter RAM in components U17,
U18, and U19, fitting in the smaller footprint for those locations.
• Option 16B provides a 128k x 24 bank of battery-backed parameter RAM in components U17,
U18, and U19, filling the full footprint for those locations.
Introduction 3
Turbo PMAC PCI HRM
Option 18: Identification Number & Real-Time Clock/Calendar Module
Option 18 provides a module at location U5 that contains an electronic identification number, and/or
a real-time clock/calendar.
• Option 18A provides an electronic identification number module.
• Option 18B provides an electronic identification number module with a real-time clock and
calendar. The year representation in the calendar is a 4-digit value.
PMAC Connectors and Indicators
J1 - Display Port (JDISP Port)
The JDISP connector allows connection of the Acc-12 or Acc-12A liquid crystal display, or of the
Acc-12C vacuum fluorescent display. Both text and variable values may be shown on these displays
through the use of the DISPLAY command, executing in either motion or PLC programs.
J2 - Control-Panel Port (JPAN Port)
The JPAN connector is a 26-pin connector with dedicated control inputs, dedicated indicator outputs,
a quadrature encoder input, and an analog input (requires PMAC Option 15). The control inputs are
low true with internal pull-up resistors. They have predefined functions unless the control-paneldisable I-variable (I2) has been set to 1. If this is the case, they may be used as general-purpose
inputs by assigning M-variable to their corresponding memory-map locations (bits of Y address
$78800).
J3 - Thumbwheel Multiplexer Port (JTHW Port)
The Thumbwheel Multiplexer Port, or Multiplexer Port, on the JTHW 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 daisychained on the port, in any combination.
J4 - Serial Port (JRS422 Port)
For serial communications, use a serial cable to connect the PC’s COM port to the PMAC’s serial
port connector. Delta Tau provides the Acc-3D cable for this purpose, which connects PMAC to a
DB-25 connector. Standard DB-9-to-DB-25 or DB-25-to-DB-9 adapters may be needed for a
particular setup.
J5 - General-Purpose Digital Inputs and Outputs (JOPTO Port)
PMAC’s JOPTO 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 34-pin 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.
J6 – Expansion Port (JXIO Port)
This port is used only when connecting to optional PMAC accessory boards.
The primary machine interface connector is JMACH1, labeled J8 on the PMAC PCI. It contains the
pins for four channels of machine I/O: analog outputs, incremental encoder inputs, and associated
input and output flags, plus power-supply connections. The next machine interface connector is
JMACH2, labeled J7 on the PMAC PCI. It is essentially identical to the JMACH1 connector for one
to four more axes. It is present only if the PMAC card has been fully populated to handle eight axes
(Option 1), because it interfaces the optional extra components.
4 Introduction
Turbo PMAC PCI HRM
J9 – Compare Equal Outputs Port (JEQU Port)
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 PMAC User Manual.
J30 – Optional Analog to Digital Inputs (JANA Port)
This optional port is used to bring in the analog signals for the optional analog to digital inputs set.
This feature provides up to 16 analog inputs in the range of 0 to 5V unipolar or ±2.5V bipolar.
J31 – Optional Universal Serial Bus Port (JUSB Port)
This optional port allows communicating with PMAC through a standard USB connection.
JS1 / JS2 – Expansion Ports (JS1 / JS2 Ports)
These ports are used only when connecting to optional PMAC accessory boards.
TB1 – Power Supply Terminal Block (JPWR Connector)
This terminal block may be used as an alternative power supply connector if PMAC PCI is not
installed in a PCI-bus.
LED Indicators
PMACs with the Option CPU have three LED indicators: red, yellow, and green. The red and green
LEDs have the same meaning as with the standard CPU: when the green LED is lit, this indicates
that power is applied to the +5V input; when the red LED is lit, this indicates that the watchdog timer
has tripped and shut down the PMAC.
The yellow LED located beside the red and green LEDs, when lit, indicates that the phase-locked
loop that multiplies the CPU clock frequency from the crystal frequency on the Option CPU is
operational and stable. This indicator is for diagnostic purposes only; it may not be present on all
boards.
The PMAC PCI has an interlock circuit that drops out the ±15V supplies to the analog outputs
through a fail-safe relay if any supply on PMAC is lost. In this case the green LED D15 will be off.
The D19 LED will be lit when 5V is applied to PMAC.
On the PMAC 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
board for a given application and must be set up appropriately. The following is an overview of the
various PMAC jumpers grouped in appropriate categories. For a complete description of the jumper
setup configuration please refer to the PMAC PCI CPU Board E-Point Descriptions chapter of this
manual.
Power-Supply Configuration Jumpers
E85, E87, E88: Analog Circuit Isolation Control – These jumpers control whether the analog
circuitry on the PMAC PCI is isolated from the digital circuitry, or electrically tied to it. In the
default configuration, these jumpers are off, keeping the circuits isolated from each other (provided
separate isolated supplies are used).
E89-E90: Input Flag Supply Control – If E90 connects pins 1 and 2 and E89 is on, the input flags
(+LIMn, -LIMn, and HMFLn) are supplied from the analog A+15V supply, which can be isolated
from the digital circuitry. If E90 connects pins 1 and 2 and E89 is off, the input flags are supplied
from a separate A+V supply brought in on pin 59 of the J7 JMACH2 connector. This supply can be
in the +12V to +24V range, and can be kept isolated from the digital circuitry. If E90 connects pins 2
and 3, the input flags are supplied from the digital +12V supply, and isolation from the digital
circuitry is defeated.
E100: AENA/EQU Supply Control – If E100 connects pins 1 and 2, the circuits related to the
AENAn, EQUn and FAULTn signals will be supplied from the analog A+15V supply, which can be
isolated from the digital circuitry. If E100 connects pins 2 and 3, the circuits will be supplied from a
separate A+V supply brought in on pin 9 of the J9 JEQU connector. This supply can be in the +12V
to +24V range and can be kept isolated from the digital circuitry.
Jumper Summary 9
Turbo PMAC PCI HRM
Clock Configuration Jumpers
E3-E6: Servo Clock Frequency Control – The jumpers E3 – E6 determine the servo-clock
frequency by controlling how many times it is divided down from the phase frequency. The default
setting of E3 and E4 off, E5 and E6 on divides the phase-clock frequency by 4, creating a 2.25 kHz
servo-clock frequency. This setting is seldom changed.
E29-E33: Phase Clock Frequency Control – Only one of the jumpers E29 – E33, which select the
phase-clock frequency, may be on in any configuration. The default setting of E31 on, which selects
a 9 kHz phase-clock frequency, is seldom changed.
E34-E38: Encoder Sample Clock – Only one of the jumpers E34 – E38, which select the encoder
sample clock frequency, may be on in any configuration. The frequency must be high enough to
accept the maximum true count rate (no more than one count in any clock period), but a lower
frequency can filter out longer noise spikes. The anti-noise digital delay filter can eliminate noise
spikes up to one sample-clock cycle wide.
E40-43: Servo and Phase Clock Direction Control – Jumpers E40-E43 control the software address
of the card for serial addressing and for sharing the servo and phase clock over the serial connector.
Card @0 sends the clocks and cards @1-@F receive the clocks. If any of these jumpers is removed,
PMAC PCI will expect to receive external servo and phase clock signals on the J4 serial port. If these
signals are not provided in this configuration, the watchdog timer will immediately trip.
E98: DAC/ADC Clock Frequency Control – Leave E98 in its default setting of 1-2, which creates a
2.45 MHz DCLK signal, unless connecting an ACC-28 A/D-converter board. In this case, move the
jumper to connect pins 2 and 3, which creates a 1.22 MHz DCLK signal.
Encoder Configuration Jumpers
Encoder Complementary Line Control – The selection of the type of encoder used, either single
ended or differential is made through the resistor packs configuration and not through a jumper
configuration.
E22-E23: Control-Panel Handwheel Enable – Putting these jumpers on ties the handwheel-encoder
inputs on the JPAN control-panel port to the Channel 2 encoder circuitry. If the handwheel inputs are
connected to Channel 2, no encoder should be connected to Channel 2 through the JMACH1
connector.
E72-E73: Control Panel Analog Input Enable – Putting these jumpers on ties the output of the
Option 10 voltage-to-frequency converter that can process the WIPER analog input on the JPAN
control panel port to the Channel 4 encoder circuitry. If the frequency signal is connected to Channel
4, no encoder should be connected to Channel 4 through the JMACH1 connector.
E74-E75: Encoder Sample Clock Output – Putting these jumpers on ties the encoder sample-clock
signal to the CHC4 and CHC4/ lines on the JMACH1 port. This permits the clock signal to be used
to synchronize external encoder-processing devices like the ACC-8D Option 8 interpolator board.
With these jumpers on, no encoder input signal should be connected to these pins.
Board Reset/Save Jumpers
E50: Flash-Save Enable/Disable Control – If E50 is on (default), the active software configuration of
the PMAC can be stored to non-volatile flash memory with the SAVE command. If the jumper on E50
is removed, this SAVE function is disabled, and the contents of the flash memory cannot be changed.
E51: Re-Initialization on Reset Control – If E51 is off (default), PMAC executes a normal reset,
loading active memory from the last saved configuration in non-volatile flash memory. If E51 is on,
PMAC re-initializes on reset, loading active memory with the factory default values.
Communication Jumpers
10 Jumper Summary
Turbo PMAC PCI HRM
PCI Bus Base Address Control – The selection of the base address of the card in the I/O space of
the host PC’s expansion bus is assigned automatically by the operating system and it is not selected
through a jumper configuration.
E49: Serial Communications Parity Control – Jump pin 1 to 2 for no serial parity; remove jumper
for ODD serial parity.
E54-E65: Interrupt Source Control – These jumpers control which signals are tied to interrupt lines
IR5, IR6 and IR7 on PMAC’s programmable interrupt controller (PIC), as shown in the interrupt
diagram. Only one signal may be tied into each of these lines.
E110: Serial Port Configure – Jump pin 1 to 2 for use of the J4 connector as RS-232. Jump pin 2 to
3 for use of the J4 connector as RS-422.
E111: Clock Lines Output Enable – Jump pin 1 to 2 to enable the Phase, Servo and Init lines on the
J4 connector. Jump pin 2 to 3 to disable the Phase, Servo and Init lines on the J4 connector. E111 on
positions one to two is necessary for daisy-chained PMACs sharing the clock lines for
synchronization.
I/O Configuration Jumpers
Caution:
A wrong setting of these jumpers will damage the associated output IC.
E1-E2: Machine Output Supply Configure – With the default sinking output driver IC
(ULN2803A or equivalent) in U13 for the J5 JOPTO 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.
E7: Machine Input Source/Sink Control – With this jumper connecting pins 1 and 2 (default), the
machine input lines on the J5 JOPTO 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 changed to
connect pins 2 and 3, these lines are pulled down to GND. This configuration is suitable for sourcing
drivers.
E17A - E17D: Motors 1-4 Amplifier-Enable Polarity Control – Jumpers E17A through E17D
control the polarity of the amplifier enable signal for the corresponding motor 1 to 4. When the
jumper is on (default), the amplifier-enable line for the corresponding motor is low true so the enable
state is low-voltage output and sinking current, and the disable state is not conducting current. With
the default ULN2803A sinking driver used by the PMAC PCI on U37, this is the fail-safe option,
allowing the circuit to fail in the disable state. With this jumper off, the amplifier-enable line is high
true so the enable state is not conducting current, and the disable state is low-voltage output and
sinking current. This setting is not generally recommended.
E17E - E17H: Motors 5-8 Amplifier-Enable Polarity Control – Jumpers E17A through E17D
control the polarity of the amplifier enable signal for the corresponding motor 5 to 8. When the
jumper is on (default), the amplifier-enable line for the corresponding motor is low true so the enable
state is low-voltage output and sinking current, and the disable state is not conducting current. With
the default ULN2803A sinking driver used by the PMAC PCI on U53, this is the fail-safe option,
allowing the circuit to fail in the disable state. With this jumper off, the amplifier-enable line is high
true so the enable state is not conducting current and the disable state is low-voltage output and
sinking current. This setting is not generally recommended.
Jumper Summary 11
Turbo PMAC PCI HRM
E28: Following-Error/Watchdog-Timer Signal Control – With this jumper connecting pins 2 and
3 (default), the FEFCO/ output on pin 57 of the J8 JMACH1 servo connector outputs the watchdog

Watchdog Timer Jumper
Jumper E1 on the Turbo CPU board 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. E1 should only be
put on to debug problems with the watchdog timer circuit.
Dual-Ported RAM Source Jumper
On Turbo CPU boards with revision suffixes – 10A and newer, Jumper E2 must connect pins 1 and 2
to access dual-ported RAM (addresses $06xxxx) from the baseboard. If using the Option 2 DPRAM
on the baseboard, jumper E2 must be in this setting.
Jumper E2 must connect pins 2 and 3 to access dual-ported RAM (addresses $06xxxx) through the
JEXP expansion port. If using DPRAM on an external accessory board, Jumper E2 must be in this
setting.
On Turbo CPU boards with revision suffixes 109 and older, there is no jumper for this purpose, and
the boards can access DPRAM from either source, but with less robust buffering.

Turbo PMAC PCI HRM
Power-Up State Jumpers
Jumper E4 on the Turbo CPU board must be off, Jumper E5 must be on, and Jumper E6 must be on,
in order for the CPU to copy the firmware from flash memory into active RAM on power-up/reset.
This is necessary for normal operation of the card. (Other settings are for factory use only.)
Firmware Load Jumper
If Jumper E7 on the CPU board 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 that the
board is in bootstrap mode automatically and ask what file to download as the new firmware.
Jumper E7 must be off during power-up/reset for the board to come up in normal operational mode.

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 E98, E29 - E33) through a divide-by-N counter. Jumpers E3 through E6 control this dividing
function.

OFF OFF OFF OFF N = Divided by 16 Note: The setting of I-variable I10 should be adjusted to match the servo interrupt cycle time set by E98,
E3 to E6, E29 to 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). If you wish a servo sample time greater than one
millisecond, the sampling may be slowed in software with variable Ix60.
Note: If E40 to E43 are not all on, the phase clock is received from an external source through the J4
serial-port connector, and the settings of E3 – E6 are not relevant.

a standard PC-style housing, a bracket at the end of the PMAC PCI board can be used to screw into the
housing to hold the board down firmly.
• Standoffs: At each of the 4 corners of the PMAC PCI board, there are mounting holes that can be used
to mount the board on standoffs.
Power Supplies
Digital Power Supply
2A @ +5V (+/-5%) (10 W)
(Eight-channel configuration, with a typical load of encoders)
• If the PMAC is installed in the internal bus, the host computer provides the 5 Volts power supply.
• With the board plugged into the bus, it will 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 can be measured between pins 1 and 3 of the terminal block.
• In a stand-alone configuration, when PMAC is not plugged in a computer bus, it will need an external
five-volt supply to power its digital circuits. The +5V line from the supply should be connected to pin 1
or 2 of the JMACH connector (usually through the terminal block), and the digital ground to pin 3 or 4.
ACC-1x provides different options for the 5 Volts power supply.
Analog Power Supply
0.3A @ +12 to +15V (4.5W)
0.25A @ -12 to -15V (3.8W)
(Eight-channel configuration)
The analog output circuitry on PMAC is optically isolated from the digital computation circuitry, and so
requires a separate power supply. This is brought in on the JMACH connector. The positive supply – +12
to +15V – should be brought in on the A+15V line on pin 59. The negative supply – -12 to -15V – should
be brought in on the A-15V line on pin 60. The analog common should be brought in on the AGND line on
pin 58.
Typically, this supply can come from the servo amplifier; many commercial amplifiers provide such a
supply. If this is not the case, an external supply may be used. ACC-2x provides different options for the ±
15V power supply. Even with an external supply, the AGND line should be tied to the amplifier common. It
is possible to get the power for the analog circuits from the bus, but doing so defeats optical isolation. In
this case, no new connections need to be made. However, be sure that jumpers E85, E87, E88, E89, and
E90 are set up for this circumstance. (The card is not shipped from the factory in this configuration.)
Machine Connections29
Turbo PMAC PCI HRM
Flags Power Supply (Optional)
Each channel of PMAC has four dedicated digital inputs on the machine connector: +LIMn, -LIMn
(overtravel limits), HMFLn (home flag), and FAULTn (amplifier fault). If the PMAC is ordered with the
Option-1 (8-axis PMAC) these inputs can be kept isolated from other circuits. A power supply from 12 to
24V connected on pin 59 of J7 could be used to power the corresponding opto-isolators. In this case, jumper
E89 must be removed and jumper E90 must connect pins 1-2.
Overtravel Limits and Home Switches
When assigned for the dedicated uses, these signals provide important safety and accuracy functions.
+LIMn and -LIMn are direction-sensitive overtravel limits that must be actively held low (sourcing current
from the pins to ground) to permit motion in their direction. The direction sense of +LIMn and -LIMn is as
follows: +LIMn should be placed at the negative end of travel, and -LIMn should be placed at the positive
end of travel.
Resistor Pack Configuration: Flag and Digital Inputs Voltage Selection
The PMAC PCI is provided with 6-pin sockets for SIP resistor packs for the input flag sets. Each PMAC
PCI is shipped with no resistor packs installed. If the flag or digital inputs circuits are in the 12V to 24V
range, no resistor pack should be installed in these sockets. For flags or digital inputs at 5V levels, quad
1kΩ SIP resistor packs (1KSIP6C) should be installed in these sockets. The following table lists the voltage
selection resistor pack sockets for each input device:
PMAC expects a closed-to-ground connection for the limits to not be considered on fault. This arrangement
provides a failsafe condition and therefore it cannot be reconfigured differently in PMAC. Usually a passive
normally closed switch is used. If a proximity switch is needed instead, use a 15V normally closed to
ground NPN sinking type sensor.
Jumper E89, E90 and E100 must be set appropriately for the type of sensor used.
Home Switches
While normally closed-to-ground switches are required for the overtravel limits inputs, the home switches
could be either normally closed or normally open types. The polarity is determined by the home sequence
setup, through the I-variables I902, I907, ... I977. However, for the following reasons, the same type of
switches used for overtravel 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.
The PMAC PCI provides sockets for termination resistors on differential input pairs coming into the board.
As shipped, there are no resistor packs in these sockets. If these signals are brought long distances into the
PMAC PCI board and ringing at signal transitions is a problem, SIP resistor packs may be mounted in these
sockets to reduce or eliminate the ringing.
All termination resistor packs are the type that have independent resistors (no common connection) with
each resistor using two adjacent pins. The following table shows which packs are used to terminate each
input device:
Resistor Pack Configuration: Differential or Single-Ended Encoder Selection
The differential input signal pairs to the PMAC PCI 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.
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 encoder-loss detection is desired; it is required if
complementary open-collector drivers are used; it is permissible for differential line-driver inputs even
without encoder loss detection.
If Pin 1 of the resistor pack (marked by a dot on the pack) matches Pin 1 of the socket (marked by a wide
white line on the front side of the board) and a square solder pin on the backside of the board, 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:
Each JMACH 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. If the PMAC is not plugged
into a bus and drawing its +5V and GND from the bus, use these pins to bring in +5V and GND from the
power supply. Connect the A and B (quadrature) encoder channels to the appropriate terminal block pins.
For encoder 1, the CHA1 is pin 25, CHB1 is pin 21. If it is a single-ended signal, leave the complementary
signal pins floating -- do not ground them. However, if single-ended encoders are used, please check the
settings of the jumpers E18 to E21 and E24 to E27. For a differential encoder, connect the complementary
signal lines -- CHA1/ is pin 27, and CHB1/ is pin 23. The third channel (index pulse) is optional; for
encoder 1, CHC1 is pin 17, and CHC1/ is pin 19.
Example: differential quadrature encoder connected to channel #1:
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 43) to the
command input on the amplifier. Connect the amplifier's command signal return line to PMAC's AGND
line (pin 58). In this setup, leave the DAC1/ pin floating; do not ground it.
For a differential command using PMAC channel 1, connect DAC1 (pin 43) to the plus command input on
the amplifier. Connect DAC1/ (pin 45) to the minus-command input on the amplifier. PMAC's AGND
should still be connected to the amplifier common. If the amplifier is expecting separate sign and magnitude
signals, connect DAC1 (pin 43) to the magnitude input. Connect AENA1/DIR1 (pin 47) to the sign
(direction input). Amplifier signal returns should be connected to AGND (pin 58). This format requires
some parameter changes on PMAC; (see Ix25. Jumper E17 controls the polarity of the direction output; this
may have to be changed during the polarity test. This magnitude-and-direction mode is suited for driving
servo amplifiers that expect this type of input, and for driving voltage-to-frequency (V/F) converters, such as
PMAC’s Acc-8D Option 2 board, for running stepper motor drivers.
If using PMAC to commutate the motor, use two analog output channels for the motor. Each output may be
single-ended or differential, just as for the DC motor. The two channels must be consecutively numbered,
with the lower-numbered channel having an odd number (e.g., use DAC1 and DAC2 for a motor, or DAC3
and DAC4, but not DAC2 and DAC3, or DAC2 and DAC4). For our motor #1 example, connect DAC1 (pin
43) and DAC2 (pin 45) to the analog inputs of the amplifier. If using the complements as well, connect
DAC1/ (pin 45) and DAC2/ (pin 46) to the minus-command inputs; otherwise leave the complementary
signal outputs floating. 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 highimpedance 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.

Turbo PMAC PCI HRM
Example:
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. If not using a direction
and magnitude amplifier or voltage-to-frequency converter, use this pin to enable and disable the amplifier
(wired to the enable line). AENA1/DIR1 is pin 47. This signal is an open-collector output with a 3.3 kΩ
pull-up resistor to +V, which is a voltage selected by jumper E100. The pull-up resistor packs are RP43 for
channels 1-4 and RP-56 for motors 5-8. For early tests, this amplifier signal should be under manual control.
This signal could be either sinking or sourcing as determined by chips U37 and U53 (see jumpers E100E102 and E114-E115). For 24V, operation E100 must connect pins 2-3 and a separate power supply must
be brought on pins 9-7 of the J9 JEQU connector. The polarity of the signal is controlled by jumpers E17A
to E17H. The default is low-true (conducting) enable. The amplifier enable signal could also be manually
controlled setting Ix00=0 and using the suggested definition of the Mx14 variable.
Amplifier Fault Signal (FAULTn)
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 analog ground (AGND). FAULT1 is pin 49. 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. The amplifier fault signal can be monitored using the properly defined
Mx23 variable.
Machine Connections33
Turbo PMAC PCI HRM
Some amplifiers share the amplifier fault output with the amplifier enable\disable status output. In this case
a special PLC code must be written with the following sequence: disable the amplifier fault input (see Ix25),
enable the motor (J/ command), wait for the amplifier fault input to be false (monitor Mx23), re-enable the
amplifier fault input (see Ix25).
General-Purpose Digital Inputs and Outputs (JOPTO Port)
PMAC’s J5 or JOPTO 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
34-pin connector was designed for easy interface to OPTO-22 or equivalent optically isolated I/O modules.
Acc-21F is a six-foot cable for this purpose. Characteristics of the JOPTO port on the PMAC PCI:
• 16 I/O points. 100 mA per channel, up to 24V
• Hardware selectable between sinking and sourcing in groups of eight; default is all sinking (inputs can
be changed simply by moving a jumper; sourcing outputs must be special-ordered or field-configured)
• Eight inputs, 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 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.
Caution:
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.
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. A high-side voltage (+5 to +24V) can be provided into Pin 33 of the JOPTO connector, and
this can be allowed 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 U13 IC is socketed, and so may be replaced easily. 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.
The outputs can be configured individually to a different output voltage by removing the internal pull-up
resistor pack RP18 and connecting to each output a separate external pull-up resistor to the desired voltage
level.
Example: Standard configuration using the ULN2803A sinking (open-collector) output IC
Control-Panel Port I/O (JPAN Port)
34 Machine Connections
Turbo PMAC PCI HRM
The J2 (JPAN) connector is a 26-pin connector with dedicated control inputs, dedicated indicator outputs, a
quadrature encoder input, and an analog input. The control inputs are low true with internal pull-up
resistors. They have predefined functions unless the control-panel-disable I-variable (I2) has been set to 1.
If this is the case, they may be used as general-purpose inputs by assigning M-variable to their
corresponding memory-map locations (bits of Y address $78800).
Command Inputs
JOG-/, JOG+/, PREJ/ (return to pre-jog position), and HOME/ affect the motor selected by the FDPn/ lines
(see below). The ones that affect a coordinate system are STRT/ (run), STEP/, STOP/ (abort), and HOLD/
(feed hold) affect the coordinate system selected by the FDPn/ lines.
Selector Inputs
The four low-true BCD-coded input lines FDP0/ (LSBit), FDP1/, FDP2/, and FDP3/ (MSBit) form a lowtrue BCD-coded nibble that selects the active motor and coordinate system (simultaneously). Usually, these
are controlled from a single 4-bit motor/coordinate-system selector switch. The motor selected with these
input lines will respond to the motor-specific inputs. It will also have its position following function turned
on (Ix06 is set to 1 automatically); the motor just de-selected has its position following function turned off
(Ix06 is set to 0 automatically).
It is not a good idea to change the selector inputs while holding one of the jog inputs low. Releasing the jog
input then will not stop the previously selected motor. This can lead to a dangerous situation.
Alternate Use
The discrete inputs can be used for parallel-data servo feedback or master position if I2 has been set to 1.
The Acc-39 Handwheel Encoder Interface board provides 8-bit parallel counter data from a quadrature
encoder to these inputs. Refer to the Parallel Position Feedback Conversion section in the Acc-39 User
manual for more details on processing this data.
Reset Input
Input INIT/ (reset) affects the entire card. It has the same effect as cycling power or a host $$$ command.
It is hard-wired, so it retains its function even if I2 is set to 1.
Handwheel Inputs
The handwheel inputs HWCA and HWCB can be connected to the second encoder counter on PMAC with
jumpers E22 and E23. If these jumpers are on, nothing else should be connected to the Encoder 2 inputs.
The signal can be interpreted either as quadrature or as pulse (HWCA) and direction (HWCB), depending on
the value of I905. I905 also controls the direction sense of this input. Make sure that the Encoder 2 jumper
E26 is set for single ended signals, connecting pins 1 and 2.
Optional Voltage to Frequency Converter
The WIPER analog input (0 to +10V on PMAC PCI referenced to digital ground) provides an input to a
voltage-to-frequency converter (V/F) with a gain of 25 kHz/Volt, providing a range of 0-250 kHz. The
output of the V/F can be connected to the Encoder 4 counter using jumpers E72 and E73. If these jumpers
are on, nothing else should be connected to the Encoder 4 inputs. Make sure that the Encoder 4 jumper E24
is set for single-ended signals, connecting pins 1 and 2. This feature requires Option-15.
Frequency Decode
When used in this fashion, Encoder 4 must be set up for pulse-and-direction decode by setting I915 to 0 or
4. Usually, a value of 4 is used because with CHB4 (direction) unconnected, a positive voltage causes the
counter to count up. The encoder conversion table can then take the difference in the counter each servo
cycle and scale it, providing a value proportional to frequency, and therefore to the input voltage. Usually
this is used for feedrate override (time base control), but the resulting value can be used for any purpose.
The resulting value in the default setup can be found at X:$729,24
Power Supply
Machine Connections35
Turbo PMAC PCI HRM
For the V/F converter to work, PMAC must have +/-12V supply referenced to digital ground. If PMAC is in
a bus configuration, this usually comes through the bus connector from the bus power supply. In a
standalone configuration, this supply must still be brought through the bus connector (or the supply terminal
block), or it must be jumpered over from the analog side with E85, E87, and E88, defeating the optical
isolation on the board.
Thumbwheel Multiplexer Port (JTHW Port)
The Thumbwheel Multiplexer Port, or Multiplexer Port, on the JTHW (J3) 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.
The ACC-18 Thumbwheel Multiplexer board provides up to 16 BCD thumbwheel digits or 64 discrete TTL
inputs per board. The TWD and TWB forms of M-variables are used for this board. The Acc-34x family
Serial I/O Multiplexer boards provides 64 I/O points per board, optically isolated from PMAC. The TWS
form of M-variables is used for these boards. The Acc-8D Option 7 Resolver-to-Digital Converter board
provides up to 4 resolver channels whose absolute positions can be read through the thumbwheel port. The
TWR form of M-variables is used for this board. The Acc-8D Option 9 Yaskawa
Interface board can connect to up to 4 of these encoders. The absolute position is read serially through the
multiplexer port on power up.
TM
Absolute Encoder
If none of these accessory boards is used, the inputs and outputs on this port may be used as discrete, nonmultiplexed I/O. They map into PMAC’s processor space at Y address $78801. The suggested M-variable
definitions for this use are M40 to M47 for the 8 outputs, and M50 to M57 for the eight inputs. The Acc-27
Optically Isolated I/O board buffers the I/O in this non-multiplexed form, with each point rated to 24V and
100 mA.
Optional Analog Inputs (JANA Port)
The JANA port is present only if Option 12 is ordered for the PMAC PCI. Option 12 provides eight 12-bit
analog inputs (ANAI00-ANAI07). Option 12A provides eight additional 12-bit analog inputs (ANA08ANAI15) for a total of 16 inputs. The analog inputs can be used as unipolar inputs in the 0V to +5V range,
or bi-polar inputs in the -2.5V to +2.5V range.
The analog-to-digital converters on PMAC require +5V and -12V supplies. These supplies are not isolated
from digital +5V circuitry on PMAC. If the PMAC is plugged into the PCI bus, these supplies are taken
from the bus power supply. In a standalone application, these supplies must be brought in on terminal block
TB1. The -12V and matching +12V supply voltages are available on the J30 connector to supply the analog
circuitry providing the signals.
36 Machine Connections
Turbo PMAC PCI HRM
Only one pair of analog-to-digital converter registers is available to the PMAC processor at any given time.
The data appears to the processor at address Y:$78808. The data from the selected analog input 0 to 7
(ANAI00-ANAI07) appears in the low 12-bits; the data from the selected analog input 8 to 15 (ANAI08ANAI15) appears in the high 12-bits (this data is present only if Option 12A has been ordered). The input is
selected and the conversion is started by writing to this same word address Y:$78808. A value of 0 to 7
written into the low 12-bits selects the analog input channel of that number (ANAI00-ANAI07) to be
converted in unipolar mode (0V to +5V). A value of 0 to 7 written into the high 12-bits selects the analog
input channel numbered eight greater (ANAI08-ANAI15) in unipolar mode. If the value written into either
the low 12-bits or the high 12-bits is eight higher (8 to 15), the same input channel is selected, but the
conversion is in bipolar mode (-2.5V to +2.5V).
Turbo PMAC variables I5060 to 5096 allow an automatic conversion of the analog inputs. The data can be
read from registers Y:$3400 to Y:$341F by setting variables I5061 to I5076 to 8. See the Turbo PMAC
Software Reference manual for further details.
Compare Equal Outputs Port (JEQU Port)
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 useful for scanning and measurement applications. Instructions
for use of these outputs are in the PMAC User Manual.
Outputs can be configured sinking or sourcing by replacing the chips U37 or U53 and configuring the
jumpers E101-102 or E114-E115. The voltage levels can be configured individually by removing resistor
packs RP43 or RP56 and connecting an external pull-up resistor in each output to the desired voltage level.
Serial Port (JRS422 Port)
For serial communications, use a serial cable to connect the PC’s COM port to the PMAC’s J4 serial port
connector. Delta Tau provides the Acc-3D cable that connects the PMAC PCI to a DB-25 connector for this
purpose. Standard DB-9-to-DB-25 or DB-25-to-DB-9 adapters may be needed for a particular setup.
Jumper E110 selects between RS-232 or RS422 signals type for the J4 connector. If a cable must be made,
the easiest approach is to use a flat cable prepared with flat-cable type connectors as indicated in the
following diagram:

The JTHW multiplexer port provides eight inputs and eight outputs at TTL levels. While these I/O can be used
in un-multiplexed form for 16 discrete I/O points, most 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.

The JRS422 connector provides the PMAC with the ability to communicate both in RS422 and RS232.
In addition, this connector is used to daisy chain interconnect multiple PMACs for synchronized
operation.
Jumper E110 selects between RS-232 or RS-422 signal types.
Jumper E110 enables or disables the use of the Phase, Servo and Init lines
* Note: Required for communications to an RS-422 host port
** Note: Required for communications to an RS-422 or RS-232 host port
*** Note: Output on card @0; input on other cards. These pins are for synchronizing multiple PMACs
together by sharing their phasing and servo clocks. The PMAC designated as card 0 (@0) by its jumpers
E40-E43 outputs its clock signals. Other PMACs designated as cards 1-15 (@1-@F) by their jumpers
E40-E43 take these signals as inputs. If synchronization is desired, these lines should be connected even
if serial communications is not used.

The J7 connector is used to connect the PMAC to the second four channels (Channels 5, 6, 7, and 8) of
servo amps, flags, and encoders.
Note 1: In standalone applications, these lines can be used as +5V power supply inputs to power
PMAC’s digital circuitry. However, if a terminal block is available on your version of PMAC, it is
preferable to bring the +5V power in through the terminal block.

This terminal block may be used as an alternative power supply connector if PMAC PCI is not installed in
a PC bus. The +5V powers the digital electronics. The +12V and -12V, if jumpers E85, E87, and E88
are installed, power the analog output stage (this defeats the optical isolation on PMAC).
To keep the optical isolation between the digital and analog circuits on PMAC, provide analog power (+/12V to +/-15V and AGND) through the JMACH connector, instead of the bus connector or this terminal

SOFTWARE SETUP
Communications
Delta Tau provides communication tools that take advantage of the PCI bus Plug & Play feature of
32-bits Windows
included in PEWIN32 version 2.32 and newer, a PMAC2 PCI board plugged in a PCI bus slot will be
recognized by the operating system when the computer is booted up. The available PCI address,
dual-ported RAM address and Interrupt lines are set automatically by the operating system and can be
checked (but not modified) in the MOTIONEXE.EXE application or the resources page of the device
manager.
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. 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 easiest way to program, set up and troubleshoot PMAC is by using the PMAC Executive
Program PEWIN and its related add-on packages Turbo Setup and PMAC Plot. These software
packages are available from Delta Tau, ordered through the Acc-9WN accessory.
The programming features and configuration variables for the PMAC PCI are discussed in the Turbo
PMAC User and Software manuals.
