Key Features and Benefits

A-B 100-C16ED200IEC 16 A Contactor, Reliable Industrial Control Solution

  1. Ultra-High-Speed Processing
    The PMAC2A-ETH leverages a 32-bit RISC processor to execute motion commands in real time, ensuring smooth, vibration-free operation even at maximum speeds. Its multi-tasking architecture allows simultaneous execution of motion control, PLC logic, and data logging, reducing latency and improving overall system efficiency.
  2. Precision Multi-Axis Synchronization
    With support for up to 32 axes, the controller enables gantry control, electronic gearing, and camming for complex machining operations. For example, in CNC grinding machines, the PMAC2A-ETH synchronizes  and workpiece rotation with micron-level accuracy, as demonstrated in industrial applications like thread grinding.
  3. Advanced Diagnostic and Safety Features
    Built-in real-time monitoring tracks motor currents, encoder feedback, and temperature thresholds, alerting operators to potential issues before they escalate. The controller also integrates with safety modules for STO (Safe Torque Off) and emergency stop systems, complying with international safety standards.
  4. Scalable and Flexible Design
    The PMAC2A-ETH supports modular expansion via Delta Tau’s UMAC system, allowing users to add I/O modules, fieldbus interfaces, or additional processing power as needed. This scalability makes it suitable for both small-scale retrofits and large-scale automation projects.
  5. Ethernet-Driven Connectivity
    The PMAC2A-ETH’s native Ethernet ports enable seamless integration with Industry 4.0 platforms, facilitating remote diagnostics, firmware updates, and data analytics. Its open architecture also supports custom software development, empowering engineers to tailor the controller to unique application requirements.
