Demand for a low-cost PMAC controller has prompted Delta Tau Data Systems to develop the PMAC2 Ultralite.
The PBrain32 module effects connectivity between the OPTO22 rack and the JTHW port on PMAC.
Each PBrain32 module supports 32 inputs and 32 outputs.
Up to 32 PBrain32 modules can be daisy chained together to give 1024 inputs and 1024 outputs per system.
Where system requirements are less demanding, there is also a MiniPBrain1 that gives users of Delta Tau's PMAC1 motion controllers up to 16 inputs and16 outputs with connection via the PMAC1 card's JOPT and JTHW ports.
The third PBrain option is the MiniPBrain2 that gives users of PMAC2, 16 inputs and 16outputs and connects via the JIO port on the card.
Also offered by Delta Tau for I/O expansion and interconnectivity is the PMAC Gate-Way that affords connection between the company's PMAC PC and Profibus.
Indeed, Delta Tau points out that connecting to any devices supporting Profibus has never been easier.
Operating at 12MBaud and supporting 8192 I/O points, the PMAC Gate-Way board occupies a single ISA slot.
