Power PMAC sets another motion standard

The new Power PMAC from Delta Tau is a seventh generation motion controller that combines unprecedented speed and accuracy with ultra high bandwidth for sub-nanoscale motion precision.

It is now possible to control up to 256 axes from a single card with a unique 64-bit hardware floating point processor that delivers breathtaking processing speeds – in fact, speed is orders of magnitude better than other motion controllers. In one custom servo program test, processing time was slashed from 588μs to just 1.6 μs. There is also the capability to control up to 32 co-ordinated axes.

High speed integrated communications aids precision machine implementation and control. Again, a custom test showed an improvement from 4.0s to 220ms.

New memory configurations enable extremely fast access rates and the Power PMAC boasts not only error checking, but importantly now has error correction – a vital new feature for complex motion algorithms.

Other standard features include powerful PLC functionality; a web server interface as standard; USB and SD card interfaces; and USB2 built in Ethernet with 1GB transmission. Software for Power PMAC is written resourcefully and the development environment integrates with MS Visual Studio.
