Programming PMAC
37
Functions and operators can be used either in Motion Programs, PLCs, or as online commands. For
example, the following commands can be typed in a terminal window:
P1=SIN (45) P1
; Reports the sine value of a 45° angle
I130=I130/2
; Lower the proportional gain of Motor #1 by half
I125=I125|$20000
; Disable the end-of-travel limits of Motor #1
Comparators
A comparator evaluates the relationship between two values (constants or expressions). It is used to
determine the truth of a condition in a motion or PLC program. The valid comparators for PMAC are:
=
(equal to)
!=
(not equal to)
>
(greater than)
!>
(not greater than; less than or equal to)
<
(less than)
!<
(not less than; greater than or equal to)
~
(approximately equal to -- within one)
!~
(not approximately equal to -- at least one apart)
Note that
<=
and
>=
are not valid PMAC comparators. The comparators
!>
and
!<
, respectively, should
be used in their place.
User-Written Phase and User-Written Servo Algorithms
For the sophisticated user with unusual and/or difficult commutation needs, PMAC provides the hooks for
custom user-written commutation (phasing) or servo algorithms. These routines must be written in
Motorola 56000 assembly language code, usually on a PC or compatible and cross assembled for the 56000.
Memory Map
PMAC’s processor is the Motorola 56001 DSP. The 56001 has dual data buses, each 24-bits wide, so that
both operands in a calculation may be brought in simultaneously. Each bus has access to a 16-bit address
space (0000hex to FFFFhex), which provides 65,536 24-bit words. One bus and address space is called
X, and the other is called Y. Therefore, when specifying a single-word memory location, one must use X:
or Y: with the 16-bit address. PMAC’s input and output is mapped into the same address space with the
memory.
PMAC uses double-word memory for both extended fixed-point values and for floating-point values
(single words are always fixed point). The fixed-point double word locations are specified by a D:
(double), and the floating-point double word locations are specified by an L: (long). This matches the
syntax of M-Variable declarations for these registers.
PMAC addresses may be specified with either decimal or hexadecimal values; the hex values must be
preceded by a
$
to be interpreted as hex. For example,
Y:$FFC0
is the hexadecimal specification, and
Y:65472
is the decimal specification of the same word address.
M-Variables are defined by providing the word address, the offset, the width, and the format (irrelevant
for bits). Several M-Variables were defined at the factory to match to inputs and outputs. For instance,
M11 thru M18 were assigned to Machine Inputs 1 thru 8 (MI1-MI8), and M1 to M8 were assigned to
Machine Outputs 1 thru 8 (MO1-MO8).
The PMAC architecture is very open, allowing the user to examine and use many internal registers.
Usually this is done through the use of M-Variables, which point to locations in the memory-I/O space of
the PMAC processor. Once defined to point to the proper location, an M-Variable can be treated as any
other variable for reading and writing.
