Turbo PMAC2 Realtime Express Controller

Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Overview

The Turbo PMAC2 Realtime Express Controller is a member of the Turbo PMAC family of

boards optimized for interface to the system through Panasonic’s Realtime Express Network. It

can command up to 32 axes through Realtime Express Network. This controller is also capable of

communicating and control of MACRO drives and IO modules if ordered with the MACRO

option.

The Turbo PMAC2 Realtime Express Controller is a stand-alone unit which can be

communicated with via RS-232, USB or Ethernet connections, with or without the optional dual-

ported RAM.

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

ordered. The form factor of this connection is dependent on which Fieldbus protocol is being

utilized and it supports the following protocols:

 ProfiBus Master Opt-1

 ProfiBus Slave Opt-2

 DeviceNet Master Opt-3

 DeviceNet Slave Opt-4

 CANopen Master Opt-5

 CANopen Slave Opt-6

 CC-Link Slave Opt-11

The protocol is dependent upon which hardware and option are selected. The hardware cannot be

programmed for an alternate protocol including master/slave.

Compatibility

This controller can be used to control Panasonic A4N/A5N Drives over the Realtime Express

network. This network utilizes the Ethernet type CAT-5 cable as the communication medium, but

should not be connected to any other Ethernet network.

Note

Currently, the controller only supports single block slave nodes.

If ordered with the MACRO option, this controller can control MACRO drives and I/O devices

over either the fiber optic MACRO ring or copper MACRO ring.
