Universal Serial Operator Control Logic Board

SOCLB Software Setup 17

This high degree of application configurability is achieved because all Advantage CNC systems have a

PMAC (be it a UMAC, QMAC, Turbo PMAC, etc.) board as the servo and I/O controller. PMAC is a

true multi-tasking controller board, which means that while the PMAC is taking care of motion

calculations and execution, it also executes more than one PLC and motion program simultaneously.

PMAC has on-board storage for to 32 PLC programs and 32 PLCC (high speed, compiled PLC)

programs. PMAC’s multi-tasking personality insures the fastest possible response time from a servo

activity to I/O being controlled.

The purpose of this literary detour was to highlight that it is the PMAC and its’ ability to be programmed

via software that makes the Advantage CNC system such a powerful and flexible CNC system. This

power and flexibility does come at a price, the price of knowledge. It is the responsibility of the

integrator to fully understand the requirements of the machine tool project, and how to program the

PMAC and the Advantage CNC system to successfully achieve the desired functionality.

Advantage CNC Software Configuration

Several system-specific software files must be downloaded to the UMAC, PMAC, or QMAC controller

board in order for the SOCLB to operate properly with Delta Tau’s Advantage 8xx CNC system. These

PLC and PMC (motion program) configuration files contain the logic programs that provide the

Advantage 8xx CNC system with its application-specific functionality.

The integrator must use Delta Tau’s PMAC Executive 32 for Windows program (henceforth referred to as

Pewin32) to download the appropriate configuration files (PLCs and PMCs) to the controller board.

Pewin32 is supplied with the PMAC NC 32 for Windows installation CD-ROM, or can be found by

clicking on the Windows Start/Programs/Delta Tau/PEWIN sub-directory.

Step 1

Communications must be established between the PMAC and the host PC before any downloading can

begin. This is accomplished by running a small Windows based application called MOTION.EXE. Click

on the Windows Start/Programs/Delta Tau/PMAC NC/Motion.Exe icon as shown below. When the

Motion.exe icon is clicked, the Motion Controls window appears.

Step 2

Click on the Setup button on the Motion Controls window (if a PMAC board is not listed, simply click on

the Add button first, and type a 0 for the device number, then click on OK). When Setup is clicked, the

below displayed window appears.
