Delta Tau Power PMAC EPICS Device Support Manual

8 February 2013

1 Scope

This document describes the installation and use of EPICS device support code for the

Delta Tau Power PMAC motion controller. The Power PMAC UMAC CPU is the

most powerful and most flexible controller that Delta Tau presently offers. It is

intended to be used in a 3U UMAC Rack, which is a modular rack format permitting

the user to configure his or her rack with whatever I/O, servo control cards, MACRO

cards, or any other accessory card Delta Tau offers for the UMAC Rack format, to

build a totally user-customized system. The Power PMAC UMAC CPU can control

up to 256 axes, whether through direct local control, or distributed control over a

MACRO fiber optic ring, or over an EtherCat network. It can be controlled through

an Ethernet interface by opening an SSH connection and this document describes the

EPICS device support software written to monitor and control the unit over SSH.
