Host Communications

To communicate with Turbo PMAC2 Eth Ultralite from your host computer, use any of the

provided communication ports. The choice only affects the speed at which you will be talking

to the controller. You can communicate with the controller over the Serial communication or

Ethernet ports without any special software. A standard communications program such as

HyperTerminal may be used on these ports, but the PMAC Executive PRO 2 Suite is

recommended for development.

For Serial RS-232 communications, please check the J7 pin outs for proper serial

communication. For Ethernet communication, the default IP address is 192.6.94.5. You can use

any terminal program to talk to the controller over these ports.

In order to get the most out of the controller, we recommend Delta Tau’s PMAC Executive

Pro2 Suite for communication. The PMAC Executive Pro2 Suite is designed for communication

with all Delta Tau products.

Although the suite includes all types of setup software programs for different types of

controllers, you won’t be using all of them. The PEWIN32PRO2 is the main program used to

setup your system and also for your application development and troubleshooting.

You can also use the powerful functionality of the PMAC Plot Pro2 to gather information on

the controller.

Pewin32PRO2 Communication Setup

First, connect the controller to your PC. You don’t need any driver to get connected to the

controller using the Serial or Ethernet port. Once you plug in the USB port, Windows will

detect the controller and install the appropriate driver for communication with the controller. If

you install the PMAC Executive Pro2 Suite before connecting the USB connection, Windows

will detect the communication driver automatically.

Select the automatic installation of the drivers and click Next.
