Description

Delta Tau: Turbo PMAC2 VME Ultralite

The Turbo PMAC2 VME Ultralite is a member of the Turbo PMAC family of boards optimized for interface to the system through the MACRO ring, and therefore does not contain on-board axis interface circuitry (which is what makes it Ultralite). It can command up to 32 axes through the MACRO ring. It can also support up to 32 channels of off-board axis interface circuitry through its expansion port, connected to ACC-24P or ACC-24P2 boards.

The Turbo PMAC2 VME Ultralite is a VME-bus card. This card is capable of VME bus communications, with or without the optional dual-ported RAM. Standalone operation is also possible wherein the user can communicate with the card via PC through RS-232 or RS-422.
