The Power PMAC from Delta Tau is a CAT that can live alongside a great number of motor drives from many other suppliers. This means a variety of apparently disparate motor drives can be linked on a common network, and it also controls any other I/O at the same time. In fact, Power PMAC forms the EtherCAT Master removing the need for separate motion control and network controllers.
EtherCAT is increasingly a widely used open, high performance, Ethernet based fieldbus system that supports a huge range of devices with a broad range of protocols. The EtherCAT protocols supported by Power PMAC include: Coe, Foe and Eoe; Coe DS402 specification for drives; Cyclic drives in Position, Velocity and Torque modes.
The Power PMAC is a seventh generation motion controller combining speed and accuracy with ultra high bandwidth for sub-nanoscale motion precision. It is therefore possible to control up to 256 axes from a single card with a unique 64-bit hardware floating point processor that delivers high processing speeds.
Other standard features include powerful PLC functionality; a web server interface as standard; USB and SD card interfaces; and USB2 built in Ethernet with 1GB transmission.
