Features:
- A Single Differential 16-bit DAC Output
- Amplifier Enable Output
- One Quadrature Incremental Encoder Input
- Four Dedicated Flag Inputs
The Universal PMAC-Lite board, member of the PMAC family, is a 4-axis motion controller. The term Lite stands to indicate a maximum of four on-board axes of motion control. The term "Universal" indicates that this motion controller can have different types of on-board backup memory, either battery based type or flash type.
Each axis is controlled by an independent channel circuitry which in turn is composed of the following features:
• A single differential 16-bits DAC output
• Amplifier enable output
• One quadrature incremental encoder input
• Four dedicated flag inputs: two end-of-travel limits, one home input and one amplifier fault input
The Universal PMAC-Lite can be programmed to control the motion of up to four motors in any coordinated fashion, either independently of each other or coordinated with, for example, linear or circular interpolation.
The Universal PMAC-Lite is not only a sophisticated motion controller but it is also a PLC device (Programmable Logic Controller). PLC programs in PMAC run independently of each other and of motion programs and can be tightly synchronized to the motion sequence.
The Universal PMAC-Lite can be installed inside a computer on an ISA bus type and can be programmed through bus communications. Alternatively, it can be installed in a stand-alone configuration outside the computer and programmed using serial communications. Either RS-232 or RS-422 serial
communications are supported.
The Universal PMAC-Lite OMRON Programmable Multi-Axis Controller may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
