Universal Serial Operator Control Logic Board Axis Select Switch The Axis Select rotary switch is a grayscale type switch, which is used for selecting an axis that is to be moved. The Advantage 8xx CNC system supports up to nine (9) valid axis names, these are X, Y, Z, A, B, C, U, V, W. Typically, the X, Y, Z, U, V, W axes will be linear axis and the A, B, C axis will be the rotary axes.
Universal Serial Operator Control Logic Board direction, and location of each axis home position are machine dependent. See the machine tool builder’s manual for more details regarding the actual home position of each axis on the machine. Manual Pulse Generator (Handwheel) The manual pulse generator is a 100-pulses-per-revolution incremental-distance jog generator, which provides a simplified method of incremental feed.
Universal Serial Operator Control Logic Board Single Block Pushbutton When the Advantage 8xx CNC system is executing a G-code program in either MDI or Auto mode, and the Single Block pushbutton is pressed, it commands the Advantage 8xx CNC system to stop executing the G-code program after executing the current line of G code.

Universal Serial Operator Control Logic Board SOCLB SOFTWARE SETUP Overview The Advantage 8xx SOCLB is a true USB (Universal Serial Bus) plug and play I/O device. If purchasing an Advantage 8xx CNC system, all the required software drivers and PLC programs will be installed for proper operation. Delta Tau has qualified the SOCLB for operation under the Windows 98, Windows 98 SE (Second Edition), Windows ME (Millennium Edition), and Windows 2000 operating systems. The SOCLB will not operate with Windows 3.
Universal Serial Operator Control Logic Board Installing Advantage 8xx Software Files A Brief CNC History Lesson A highly misunderstood facet of machine tool control integration is the interaction between the machine servo’s (axis motors) and the I/O (inputs and outputs, machine tool front panel and real world I/O). G, M, and PLC (or Programmable Logic Controller) programs are what make a machine tool operate as a machine tool.
Universal Serial Operator Control Logic Board 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.
Universal Serial Operator Control Logic Board Step 3 Make sure the In PC Bus button is selected (as shown above). PMAC NC 32 for Windows supports only the In PC Bus option. Click on the OK button and the below displayed dialog box appears. The PMAC board is recognized on the PC bus and can communicate with the PMAC now. To start communicating with the PMAC board, start the Pewin32 program. Click on Pewin32 from the Windows Start Programs/Delta Tau/Pewin 32 icon.
Universal Serial Operator Control Logic Board Delta Tau has the ADV810.CFG file to help remember the files needed. The ADV810.CFG file is an ASCII text-based file that acts as a master download file to the PMAC. There are two basic ADV810.CFG files, one for mills (ADV810M.CFG) and the other for lathes (ADV810L.CFG). The configuration file shown below is for a basic milling application. As additional functionality is added to the Advantage 810 milling machine, additional PLC programs will be required.
Universal Serial Operator Control Logic Board File Name File Type File Purpose ADV810.CFG ADV810.H ADV810M.PLC or ADV810L.PLC ADV810User.H Configuration File Header File PMAC PLC File, PLC #1 Master download file for Advantage 810.

Header File ADDRESS.H OEM.H Header File Header File HANDLE.PLC OVRD.PLC PMAC PLC File, PLC #4 PMAC PLC File, PLC #2 MILL.G or LATHE.
Universal Serial Operator Control Logic Board These files are ASCII text based files (that can be opened in either Notepad or WordPad) containing the actual code that was downloaded to the PMAC board and can be helpful for troubleshooting any PLC or PMC coding problems encountered during the download. After the Download Options have been set, press the OK button to begin the actual download process.
Universal Serial Operator Control Logic Board In many cases, Delta Tau has already written an example PLC for the specific required functionality. Typically, these example programs require only minor modification, versus having to write a new PLC from scratch. These example PLC programs can be found in the Program Files/Delta Tau/NC 3.xx/Examples subdirectory. Some of the PLCs that can be found in the Examples sub-directory are listed below. PLC or PMC Name Brake.plc Coolant.plc Collet.plc Error.plc Estop.
Universal Serial Operator Control Logic Board Starting the SOCLB810.EXE Program The SOCLB810.exe program is a Visual Basic program that has been qualified with Windows 98, Windows ‘98SE, Windows ME, and Windows 2000 operating systems. The SOCLB810 program consists of three files: SOCLB810.exe, SOCLB32.dll, and MSVBVM60.dll. When you install the PMAC-NC32 for Windows program, the SOCLB810.EXE program will be installed automatically. To start the SOCLB810.exe program, double click on the SOCLB810.

Universal Serial Operator Control Logic Board APPENDIX ADV810.H File The following table details the M-Variable assignments and memory addresses for the Adv810.h file. Many of the macros in the Adv810.H file are constant definitions. These constant definitions issue commands directly between the PMAC and the PMAC NC 32 for Windows program, so they do not have a variable assignment or address.
