PMAC2A-PC104 Hardware Manual
Introduction 1
INTRODUCTION
Overview
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 & firmware
• Latest released firmware version
• RS-232 serial interface
• 4 channels axis interface circuitry, each including:
• 12-bit ±10V analog output
• Pulse-&-direction digital outputs
• 3-channel differential/single-ended encoder input
• 4 input flags, 2 output flags
• 3 PWM top-and-bottom pairs (unbuffered)
• 50-pin IDC header for amplifier/encoder interface
• 34-pin IDC header for flag interface
• PID/notch/feedforward servo algorithms
• 1-year warranty from date of shipment
• One CD-ROM per set of 1 to 4 PMACs in shipment (Cables, mounting plates, mating connectors not
included)
Option 2A: PC/104 Bus Stack Interface
Option 2A provides the PC/104 bus interface allowing bus communications between a PC/104 type
computer and the PMAC2A-PC/104 motion controller.
Option 5xF: CPU Speed Options
• Option 5CF: 80 MHz DSP563xx CPU (160 MHz 56002 equivalent).
• Option 5EF: 160 MHz DSP563xx CPU (320 MHz 56002 equivalent).
Option 6: Extended Firmware Algorithm
Option 6 provides an Extended (Pole-Placement) Servo Algorithm firmware instead of the regular servo
algorithm firmware. This is only required in difficult-to-control systems (resonances, backlash, friction,
disturbances, changing dynamics).
