The Power PMAC shatters the barriers that have traditionally surrounded motion control and general-purpose computing. The “Dual Personality” Power PMAC combines in a single processor:

• Delta Tau’s 7th generation motion and machine-control processing platform, the culmination of 25 years experience producing state-of-the-art controllers.
• Power PC general-purpose computing engine with Real Time Linux - a true real-time multi-tasking operating system.

Delta Tau’s PMAC and Turbo PMAC families of controllers justly have the reputation as being the most powerful and flexible in the world. Many people do not realize that PMAC controllers have many features that make them among the easiest to use as well. These features aid in the ease of use for both basic and more advanced applications.

Power PMAC - a Real Time Linux Motion Computer

The Power PMAC is based on the latest generation of embedded Power PC processors, which are renowned for high speed and low power consumption. The embedded Real Time Linux operating system provides for a robust and deterministic operating environment. To complete the ‘computer package’ the Power PMAC supports typical computer peripherals such as hard disk drive, display unit (CRT), keyboard, and mouse/pointing device.

The Integrated Development Environment (IDE) provides for seamless C/C++ application development. Syntax colorization and data structure index is provided via the Intellisense database. Public domain GNU C/C++ cross-compiler is included.
