UMAC Motion Controller
The UMAC (Universal Motion and Automation Controller) is a modular Turbo PMAC2 system built with a set of 3U-format Eurocards. The configuration of any UMAC system begins with the selection of the PMAC CPU for stand-alone operation or MACRO CPU with fiber optic interface in a high speed MACRO optical ring. Itcontinues with the addition of the necessary axes boards, which can be either direct PWM output or the classic +/- 10V, I/O boards,field bus boards, communication interfaces (USB2, Ethernet, etc.) and any other interface boards selected from the rich variety of available accessories. Accessory boards allow, for example, to connect with virtuall UMAC type boards are mounted inside 3U racks and the system is completed with a selection of power supplies and optional 3U servo amplifiers. UMAC 3U racks are available in many different sizes, providing a CE compliant, rugged and integrated system, packaging the electronics, built-in breakout connectors, and power supply in an enclosed system. Individual boards can slide in and out of the rack, making configuration and troubleshooting a snap.
y any kind of feedback sensor or to implement almost any kind of communication method with the host computer or external devices. In addition, a PC/104 computer can be installed inside the UMAC system yielding an incredibly powerful system inside a compact industrial package.
Delta Tau provides a rich selection of accessories for axes boards, digital I/O boards, analog inputs boards, communication interfaces, feedback interfaces and many others. However, because UMAC is based on the UBUS (Universal BUS), if a particular feature for the UMAC system is desired but not yet supported, Delta Tau provides all the necessary information for its development. Some examples of custom-designed UMAC boards include vision inputs cards, temperature control cards, etc. Each UMAC system is expandable and scalable by connecting multiple racks together via the MACRO fiber optic link. A 3U rack mounted family as well as other amplifiers are available to complement the UMAC.
