Delta Tau: Power PMAC EtherLite

The Power PMAC EtherLite The Power PMAC EtherLite is a compact and cost-effective product designed for control through industrial networks and fieldbuses. The network interface can be configured with Delta Tau’s MACRO fiber optic or electrical network and/or EtherCAT electrical network, as well as with one of various fieldbus options.

The Power PMAC EtherLite is a dedicated controller for driving real-time motion (servo) and I/O networks. The controller communicates to a host PC via Ethernet, or operates standalone, while providing a single wire connection to any MACRO and/or EtherCAT drives, I/O or other peripheral devices.

The Power PMAC EtherLite utilizes the intelligence and capabilities of Delta Tau’s 7th and latest generation controller, the Power PMAC, a general-purpose embedded computer running under a hard real-time Linux OS with a sophisticated motion and machine control application built in. The software PLCs, programmable in C and/or PMAC script, and built-in motion programs allow for complete machine logic control.

Capable of controlling up to 128 axes and thousands of I/O points, the Power PMAC EtherLite employs the motion and software features of the Power PMAC Family in systems with highly distributed network hardware from vendors of your choosing, resulting in a “Motion Solution” with unparalleled performance capabilities.
