PMAC VME Hardware Reference Manual
PMAC Basic Specifications 39
OPT-8: The analog encoder interpolator board provides 128 or 256 pulses per cycle of an analog
encoder. Each Option 8 allows connection of one analog encoder to PMAC and requires
two encoder channels on the PMAC. Up to eight Option 8s can be connected to one 16-
channel PMAC (PMAC with Option 1 and Acc-24 with Option 1). Comes with three 10-
pin 40-cm (16") cables, two to Acc-8D and one to PMAC’s JxIO connector.
OPT-A: DIN rail mount for OPT-8
OPT-9: Provides connection for four Sigma series type S and W Yaskawa absolute encoders.
Comes with four 10-pin 40-cm (16") cables to Acc-8D and one 26-pin 60-cm (24") cable
to PMAC’s multiplexer port.
OPT-B: DIN rail mount for OPT-9.
Accessory 9: IBM PC Software
The software for the IBM-PC and compatibles includes development tools used in setting up the PMAC
controller and developing a host computer interface for a PMAC application. Acc-9 is a once-per-
customer purchase. OEMs wishing to re-sell the program to their customers must purchase one copy for
each customer. Such OEMs should contact the factory for volume purchase agreements.
Acc-9C: COMLIB (COMmunications LIBrary) written in C provides a set of basic (low level)
communications drivers callable from DOS or Windows  based programs. This
software is recommended for any user who intends on developing MMI (Man Machine
Interface) for PMAC. Comes on one 3.5" diskette and is purchased as a Site License.
OPT-1: Executable code upgrade and Site License.
Acc-9L: LIPS (Library Interface for PMAC Systems) Provides a set of high level communication
functions (functions such as Set Up Master Slave and Why Is My Motor Not Moving)
callable from DOS or Windows  (DLL) based programs. This software requires Acc-
9C. Comes on one 3.5" diskette and is purchased as a Site License.
OPT-1: Executable code upgrade and Site License.
The PMAC Executive Program for the IBM PC and compatibles is a DOS/Windows 
based host computer program for the PMAC controller that is intended as a development
tool in starting a PMAC application. It provides a terminal emulator, PMAC program
editor with disk file functions, and special screens for viewing PMAC variables, status,
and tuning. The program was written in the "C" programming language. The program is
not copy-protected and comes on a 3.5" diskette.
Acc-9DA: PMAC Executive PC Program for DOS on 3.5" diskette
OPT-1: PMAC Executive Program upgrade, site license
Acc-9W: PMAC Executive PC Program for Windows  on 3.5" diskette
OPT-1: Executable code upgrade, site license
Acc-9P: PCOMM (PMAC COMmunications) written in C/C++ provides a set of basic (low level)
communications drivers linkable from DOS or Windows  (DLL) based programs. This
software is recommended for any user who intends on developing custom MMI (Man
Machine Interface) for PMAC. Comes on one 3.5" diskette and is purchased as a Site
License.
OPT-1: Executable code upgrade, site license
Acc-9DG: PLC Program for GE Fanuc 90/70 interface to PMAC VME.
Accessory 12: Liquid Crystal/Vacuum Fluorescent Display
Acc-12 provides display capability for the PMAC independent of the host interface. It connects to the J1
(JDISP) connector on PMAC. The user can program (through the DISPLAY command) what is needed
to show on the display. The vacuum fluorescent (VF) display is larger and brighter than the liquid crystal
(LCD) display.
Acc-12: 2x24 character alphanumeric LCD display.
