Precision motion and
machine control
03
For more than a quarter of a century Delta Tau has consistently
and continually set the global benchmarks for precision motion and
machine control. Over a million axes of motion installed worldwide
in control equipment as diverse as machine tools and medical
device manufacturing, robots and the Hubble telescope, packaging
machines and Hollywood movie sets. There are few lives untouched
by products made using Delta Tau motion controls.
Delta Tau in the UK has forged specialised
services to the high technology and
scientific communities. Many Synchrotron
and high energy laser and neutron facilities
depend on Delta Tau technology
to control their complex multi axes
equipment –
Diamond Light Source is the UK’s national
synchrotron science facility, located at the
Harwell Science and Innovation Campus
in Oxfordshire and uses Delta Tau motion
Controllers on many of the beamlines
there. By accelerating electrons to near
light-speed, Diamond generates brilliant
beams of light from infra-red to X-rays
which are used for academic and industrial
research and development across a
range of scientific disciplines including
structural biology, physics, chemistry,
materials science, engineering, earth and
environmental sciences.
Despite its scientific pedigree, Delta Tau
also offers the most versatile and flexible
multiple axis motor controllers for general
purpose machine control and automation
tasks. The ability of the PMAC range of
products to control different motor types
and technologies from a single motion card
offers machine builders many practical
advantages. Moreover, all the Delta Tau
products are backed by expert technical
support right here in the UK .

Sophisticated Firmware Features
Five built-in control algorithms:
The New Power Brick LV-IMS
Motion Computer
Power Brick LV IMS
The Power PMAC is a Motion Controller and
Linux computer rolled into one.
Running an open source public domain
operating system with a Xenomai real time
kernel The PMAC has come of age.
Now with EPICS and TANGO compatibility
running onboard or remotely, the new
Power Brick LV-IMS offers the scientific
communities around the world a powerful
integrated package.
Using fully programmable four-quadrant
four-phase technology in the eight axis
amplifier stage, the power PMAC-LV-IMS is
capable of running any mix of stepper, AC
servo or DC servo motors. Having unique
software control of the current in each axis
allows the user to fully customise each
application. Each block of four axes comes
in three different current ratings of: 0.25A
continuous 0.75A peak; 1.0A continuous
3.0A peak; and 5.0A continuous 15A peak.
All current ranges operate between 12 and
48VDC.
As well as standard quadrature encoder
inputs, both versions come complete with
a range of serial encoder interfaces. These
include Endat 2.2, Hiperface, SSI, Yaskawa
Sigma II, and Tamagawa. For more
recent and future protocols, not included in
the DSPgate3, provision has been made to
fit a mezzanine board to facilitate the use
of these and analogue sin/cos and resolver
feedback devices.
The Delta Tau MACRO (Machine And
Control Ring Optical) interface now comes
as standard, enabling the controller to
control 32 axes. It also allows any Delta
Tau MACRO product such as I/O, analogue
interfaces or amplifiers to be added to the
systems.

Turbo PMAC LV-IMS
Motion Controller
Geo Brick LV IMS-II
Delta Tau sets the global benchmarks for
precision motion control, The Turbo PMAC
based multiple axis low voltage motion
controller/data acquisition system with
integral amplifiers is designed specifically
for the high energy physics market.
Controlling up to 8 axes of mixed servo and
stepping motor types, the new Geo Brick LV
IMS-II family of products is also a fraction
of the size and cost of most conventionally
built 8-axis systems.
The Geo Brick LV concept was designed
to control the combination of motor
technologies typically encountered in
synchrotron applications. Given the
complexity of such systems, this new
design has significantly reduced cabling,
simplifying installation and reducing costs.
the amplifiers, the LV controllers offer the
unique power of the Delta Tau position
control systems. This concept provides
great savings in both panel space and
installation costs and whilst the design is
optimised for operation using a 48VDC bus
- a level that eliminates many regulatory
concerns – the amplifiers each have a 250W
or 5A capacity.
By simply adding the MACRO (Machine And
Control Ring Optical) option, the controller
can be expanded to 32 axes, also enabling
any Delta Tau Macro product such as I/O,
analogue interfaces or amplifiers to
be added to the system. It is also possible
using MACRO to create master/slave
configurations linking two Geo Bricks.
The Geo Brick LV IMS-II expands the
range of Delta Tau’s widely used Geo Brick
integrated multi-axis controller/amplifier
family of products. As well as integrating

Quad PSU 1.6kVA
NEW Digital Brick Controller IMS-II
Delta Tau has two new compact switch
mode power supplies, called the Quad
PSU, that not only reduces cabling for the
new Geo Brick LV IMS-II, but also provides
reliable power for up to four separate
controller crates in a single rack mounted
device.
The power supply unit is a low profile 1U
configuration with three power supplies
plus a Regen unit. It has a universal Input
(85 - 265VAC) with built in power factor
correction.
Brick Controller IMS-II and the
Power Brick Controller IMS
The PMAC “Brick Controller IMS” now
comes in two distinct types. The original
Turbo PMAC based Brick Controller IMS and
now the NEW Power Brick Controller IMS.
Not only has Delta Tau upgraded to the
NEW Power PMAC we have created a whole
new digital version of both systems. These
units do not come with integrated drive
amplifiers.
To augment the original system concept
with analogue outputs Delta Tau now
offers a wholly digital version. Designed
with stepper motors in mind, the output
from this unit is a digital PWM signal that
can be configured to be either step and
direction to interface with existing external
stepper drives or it can be configured to
output a PWM signal compatible with Delta
Tau’s larger AC servo drives.
Quad PSU 500VA
Because of the highly efficient nature of the
switch mode power supplies used, it runs
at a cool 10 degrees above ambient at full
load.
As well as standard quadrature encoder
inputs both versions come complete with
a range of serial encoder interfaces. These
include Endat 2.2, Hiperface, SSI, Yaskawa
Sigma II, and Tamagawa.
Both the Quad PSU 1.6kVA and 500VA
offer a 48Vdc or 24Vdc motor PSU and two
150W 24Vdc supplies for logic and I/O
providing the power to up to four motion
controllers.
For more recent and future protocols, not
included in the DSPgate3, provision has
been made to fit a mezzanine board to
facilitate the use of these and analogue
sin/cos and resolver feedback devices.
The Delta Tau MACRO (Machine And

TANGO
Software
EPICS
Technology
The addition of TANGO software for the
Power PMAC provides another option for
synchrotron motion control community.
Observatory Sciences has worked with
Delta Tau to integrate its GeoBrick LV
controller and the Brick Controller IMS with
EPICS to provide the Diamond Light Source
synchrotron with its next generation motor
controller solution.
TANGO (TAco Next Generation Object) is a
distributed control system, based on object
oriented and service oriented approaches
to software architecture. It is being actively
developed by the collaborative effort of a
group of European scientific institutes,
including Alba, Desy, Elettra, ESRF, FRM II,
Solaris and Soleil.
The first user of Observatory Sciences
TANGO software library for the Power
PMAC will be the Soleil synchrotron –
the French national synchrotron which
provides a multi-disciplinary instrument
and research laboratory. The synchrotron
is currently home to a number of high
profile research projects, including
looking into the production of graphene
semiconductor nano-ribbons. This twodimensional crystal composed of a single
layer of carbon atoms has very promising
properties that could drive major advances
in microelectronics.
More recently, Observatory Sciences is
continuing its work with Brookhaven
National Laboratory’s Synchrotron Light
Source II (NSLS-II) with the latest project for
Power PMAC EPICS support.
The ability to use the Power PMAC with
both EPICS and now TANGO will enable
adoption of these systems at large
scientific facilities such as synchrotrons.
Observatory Sciences is a recognised
leader in EPICS, developing control systems
and delivering EPICS training. The EPICS
toolkit has been used on many high energy
physics facilities as well as on large
astronomical telescopes around the world,
and EPICS software now provides the
core control system for many synchrotron
facilities.

The Motion Machine PC is an industrial PC
with the new Soft Power PMAC, a kernel
with all the intelligence and capabilities
of Delta Tau’s 7th and latest generation
controller, the Power PMAC. Software
PLCs, programmable in PMAC script or C,
and built-in motion programs provide for
complete machine logic control through a
network of EtherCAT and/or MACRO drives,
I/O and peripherals.
Software projects migrate seamlessly from
any of the Power PMAC controllers.
Significant cost savings are achieved
because a personal computer (already
