Delta Tau 3-2932A-00-2100-B0000 Power PMAC 1040 Motion Control Unit

Module Feature

3-2932A-00-2100-B0000 is Delta Tau Power PMAC 1040 series multi-axis motion controller, the upgraded generation of classic Turbo PMAC controller. It adopts PowerPC processor and customized Linux real-time operating system, providing powerful computing performance for complex motion tasks.

It supports G-code CNC program, PMAC motion script, internal PLC logic and electronic cam function. It can cooperate with ACC-24E2S, ACC-24E3 and other expansion cards to realize analog servo control, encoder acquisition and digital I/O signal processing. It is widely used in precision machine tools, laser processing equipment, semiconductor test platforms and multi-axis synchronous automation machines.

Working principle

The controller receives motion commands from upper host computer, resolves NC program and generates position instructions for each servo axis.

It reads encoder feedback signals through expansion interface cards, executes closed-loop position and speed control, and outputs servo drive commands. The built-in PLC scans I/O signals and executes safety interlock logic. Operation status and fault information are uploaded to host via Ethernet bus.

Onboard components

PowerPC main processor, flash memory and RAM chipset, backplane expansion bus circuit, Ethernet communication circuit, serial debug interface, power management circuit, front status indicator array.

LED indicators

Front panel LEDs indicate power ready, system running, bus communication and hardware fault status.

Hardware self‑diagnosis

Self-check covers backplane power anomaly, expansion card communication failure, memory error, bus timeout and internal hardware exception. Fault codes and operation logs can be read by Power PMAC IDE.

Programming software

Power PMAC IDE for G-code programming, motion parameter tuning, PLC configuration, fault log viewing and firmware upgrade.
