The UMAC MACRO and the MACRO Stack provide a remote interface for encoders, flags, direct-PWM digital
drives, analog drives, stepper drives, analog I/O, and digital I/O for Delta Tau Data's PMAC products that have a
MACRO interface.

MACRO interface.
The UMAC MACRO and MACRO Stack configurations communicate with PMAC2 Ultralites or Turbo PMAC2
Ultralites solely through the MACRO ring, interfacing to standard drives, encoders, flags, and I/O through on-
board connectors. This MACRO Station integrated packaging and connectivity strategy provides revolutionary
flexibility and ease of use.

A 3U MACRO Station consists of a set of “3U” format Euro-cards (100 x 160 mm) that can be assembled in a
variety of configurations. When used in the rack configuration, connected through a backplane bus, the backplane
is UBUS format, designed by Delta Tau Data Systems Inc. for motion control and I/O interfaces.

When using the fiber optic MACRO interface, the 3U MACRO Station can be up to 3 kilometers (2 miles) away
from the PMAC2 controller or any other station on the ring. When using the RJ-45 copper electrical interface, it
can be up to 100 meters (~330 feet) away.

The 3U MACRO Station allows PMAC2 MACRO controllers to control servo axes and I/O just as if they were
directly connected to the PMAC2, even though they may be a great distance away. The only interface needed
from the PMAC2 is the electrically isolated MACRO ring.

Typically, a PMAC2 “Ultralite” board, one without any of its own servo interface circuitry, is used with the
MACRO Station to provide the most cost-effective solution.
