PMAC Set-up Software
The PMAC setup software provides a very simple method for the selection of motor
parameters and overall check of the machine connections in a step-by-step sequence of
setup screens. Several versions of the setup program are available for the different types
of the PMAC motion controller.
PMAC Executive, Professional Suite
The PMAC Executive program is a host program environment for the PMAC controller,
and it is intended as a development tool in creating PMAC applications. It provides a
terminal communications screen, text editor for writing and editing PMAC motion and PLC
programs, screen to jog motors, extensive tuning utilities, plotting capabilities, and various
special screens for viewing all PMAC variables and status registers. The program consists
of pull-down menus with descriptive but simple choices for performing different functions.
Features:
• Several methods of communication supported with multiple PMACs.
• Automatic configuration for communication with plug & play PMAC devices including
PCI and USB type PMACs
• Enhanced text editor with colored functions and built-in debugger feature for PLC
programs
• Rich set of tuning tools including auto-tuning, notch and low-pass filters setup and
extended algorithm tuning
• Project management for grouping sets of motion programs, PLC programs and text files
in a single project
• Extensive plot capabilities for displaying any PMAC parameter or register in either time
or frequency domain
• Watch, position and status windows for real-time monitoring of any important PMAC
register or parameter
• Resource manager providing extensive help in the management of free and used
PMAC variables in a given project
• Operating Systems Supported: Windows
®
XP, 2000 and 98.
Software
EZ PMAC
An easy to use set-up program for specific hardware packaging, the EZ PMAC is
designed to take the user from out of the box to tuning and running servos with clear,
graphical instructions. EZ-PMAC comes in three forms, including 4-axis PMAC Lite, 4-axis
packaged QMAC system and 4-axis PC/104. This product includes motion controller,
required accessories, and documentation along with the EZ-PMAC setup program.
PMAC Ladder
The PMAC Ladder IEC-1131 is an embedded programming development environment for
the Turbo PMAC using the IEC-1131 standard American Ladder Logic with Function Block
Diagram (FBD) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC) languages. Any code that can be
implemented with the PMAC PLC programming method, including I/O control and motors
jogging, can now be developed with the simplicity of the ladder logic environment.
PMAC Laser Calibration
PMAC Laser Calibration Software enables automatic laser calibration and compensation,
ensuring positioning accuracy. Designed for use with quadrature feedback from laser
calibration systems, the program automatically executes motion along the defined axis
travel, measuring and recording precise distance for comparison to the encoder value on
the fly. In seconds, a bi-directional compensation table is automatically generated from
the measurements. This eliminates potential manual calculation errors and reduces
calibration time.
PMAC HMI
PMAC HMI is a robust world-class operator interface design tool for the PMAC motion
controller. With the PMAC HMI’s comprehensive suite of ActiveX graphical control objects,
including buttons, indicators, strip charts, bar graphs, gauges and sliders, etc., creating
a custom operator interface display is much easier. The operator interface can be
customized for any level of sophistication using a fully-integrated Visual Basic for
applications development and runtime environment. Communications with the PMAC
motion controller are based on the PCOMM32 set of communication libraries, which
provide a reliable interface with one or more PMACs through any available communica-
tion port. In addition, multiple PMAC HMI interfaces can be linked over a network so that
they will transparently work together as one.
Communication Libraries
Our communication libraries interface to the PMAC motion controller from most high-level
languages, including C++, Visual Basic and LabView. A simple call to the implemented
routines allows retrieval of PMAC register values, downloading or uploading programs,
data collection, monitoring status and other processes requiring PMAC communication.
