Turbo PMAC2 Eth Ultralite Manual

INTRODUCTION

Introduction

Overview

The Turbo PMAC2 Eth Ultralite is a member of the Turbo PMAC family of boards optimized for

interface to the system through the MACRO ring and therefore does not contain on-board axis

interface circuitry (which is what makes it Ultralite). It can command up to 32 axes through the

MACRO ring.

The Turbo PMAC2 Eth Ultralite is a stand-alone unit which can be communicated with via RS-

232, USB or Ethernet connections. However, the dual-ported RAM can only be accessed over

USB or Ethernet for high speed communication with the controller.

This controller is also capable of Fieldbus communications when the appropriate option is

ordered. The pin out of this connection is dependent on which Fieldbus protocol is being utilized

and it supports the following protocols:

• ProfiBus Master Opt-G1

• ProfiBus Slave Opt-G2

• DeviceNet Master Opt-G3

• DeviceNet Slave Opt-G4

• CANopen Master Opt-G5

• CANopen Slave Opt-G6

• CC-Link Slave Opt-GB

The protocol is dependent upon which hardware and therefore option is selected. The hardware

cannot be programmed for an alternate protocol including master/slave.

Additional I/O points are available through a Thumbwheel port which supports multiplexed I/O

devices such as ACC-34AA or Opto-22 digital I/O modules.
