PMAC 2 Software Reference 
PMAC I-Variable Specification  117 
When the digital current loop is used for drives connected to the PMAC2 through a 
MACRO station, the typical values for Ix82 are: 
Node/Register Ix82 Node/Register Ix82 
Node 0/Reg 1 & 2  $C0A2  Node 8/Reg 1 & 2  $C0B2 
Node 1/Reg 1 & 2  $C0A6  Node 9/Reg 1 & 2  $C0B6 
Node 4/Reg 1 & 2  $C0AA  Node 12/Reg 1 & 2  $C0BA 
Node 5/Reg 1 & 2  $C0AE  Node 13/Reg 1 & 2  $C0BE 
If Ix82>0, the following variables must be set properly for correct operation of the digital 
current loop: 
Ix61: Current-Loop Integral Gain 
Ix62: Current-Loop Forward-Path Proportional Gain 
Ix66: PWM Scale Factor 
Ix72: Commutation Phase Angle 
Ix76: Current-Loop Back-Path Proportional Gain 
Ix84: Current-Loop Feedback Mask Word

Remarks 
For a motor commutated by PMAC2, this parameter tells PMAC2 where to read its 
commutation (phasing) position information for Motor x every commutation cycle. This 
can be a different address from that used for power-on/reset phasing position, which is 
determined by Ix81. 
Bits 0 to 15 of Ix83 contain the 16-bit address of the register to be read. Bit 19 of Ix83 
tells whether the register has a X address or a Y address; a 0 value specifies X, and a 1 
value (which makes the hexadecimal digit have an 8 value) specifies Y. 
For PMAC(1) and PMAC2 boards with on-board encoder circuitry, Ix83 typically contains 
the address of the phase position encoder register for encoder x; this is the default. Since 
these registers have X addresses, bit 19 is 0. 
On PMAC(1) boards, because two channels are required for commutation output, usually 
only the odd-numbered channels are used for commutation feedback. This is reflected in 
the defaults.
