Introduction 1
INTRODUCTION
PMAC’s Accessory 27 (Acc-27) the Opto-Isolated I/O board provides eight discrete optically isolated
input and eight discrete optically isolated output interfaces to the PMAC controller. This accessory may
be used in addition to the standard discrete I/O provided on the PMAC through its JOPT (J5) connector
and those provided with the main I/O expansion board (Acc-14). Acc-27’s Option 2 allows direct
interface to the PMAC through its JTHW (J3) connector. The external (isolated) voltage supply to this
board for the eight inputs and outputs can range from 12 to 24V.
Note:
No other PMAC accessory which communicates to PMAC through its
Thumbwheel Port (JTHW) may be used in conjunction with this accessory.
Accessory 27 Option 2
(Option 1 no longer exists)
Option 2 uses a 26-pin Header for direct interface to the PMAC's JTHW connector.
Option 2A has a 25-pin DB connector for interfacing to the external I/O. Option 2B uses the 18-pin
terminal block instead.
Option 2B is the factory default option for Acc-27 which orders a 26-pin header for the PMAC
interface and the 18-pin terminal block for the I/O connections.
Connectors
Refer to the pin out description of the connectors at the end of this manual.
P1 (JiSBX) iSBX connector used for Option 1 which no longer exists.
P2 (JTHW) (Option 2 only) is a 26-pin Header that allows the Acc-27 to be an interface with a PMAC
through its JTHW connector.
Note:
Only one Acc-27 may be connected to a PMAC through this connector.
P3 (25-pin DB) (Option 2A only) provides the I/O connections and the external (isolated) power supply
connections.
TB1 (18-pin Terminal Block) (Option 2B only) provides the I/O connections and the external (isolated)
power supply connections.

2 Introduction
Power Supply and Opto-Isolation
The power supply for the external (Machine) side of the opto-isolation circuitry should be wired into the
Acc-27 either through the terminal block (TB1) or P3 connector (DB25). This voltage supply (ranging
from a minimum of 12 volts to a maximum of 24 volts) is used for the optically isolated logic circuits on
Acc-27. In addition, through the position of the jumpers E3, E4, and E5, the I/O lines are connected to
this supply by either pull-up or pull-down resistors (3.3K each). Refer to the enclosed schematic and the
E-point descriptions for more details. The power supply (+5V) for the internal (PMAC) side of the opto-
isolation circuitry is brought in directly from the PMAC board through either P1 (JiSBX) connector or P2
(JTHW) connector.
PMAC to Acc-27 I/O Communication through JTHW
Typically, the Acc-27 I/O is used in PMAC programs (motion and PLC) using M-variables. M-variables,
which point to places in PMAC’s memory and I/O address space, are defined ahead of time to the desired
location and size. They are then used in programs just as any other variable. Usually for discrete I/O, the
M-variables are defined to individual bits, but this is not required.
The M-variable definition carries no information about whether the location is input or output; it is the
user’s responsibility to keep the difference straight. In addition, the standard form of Acc-27 Option 2
provides non-inverting outputs and either inverting or non-inverting inputs depending on the position of
the E5 jumper (see the E-point description table).
A typical set of definitions for a single Acc-27 connected to PMAC's JTHW connector would be (the
address Y:$FFC1’s least significant 16 bits are mapped to the thumbwheel port) :
M200->Y:$FFC1,0,1 ;Thumbwheel Port Input Bit 0
M201->Y:$FFC1,1,1 ;Thumbwheel Port Input Bit 1
...
M207->Y:$FFC1,7,1 ;Thumbwheel Port Input Bit 7
M208->Y:$FFC1,8,1 ;Thumbwheel Port Output Bit 0
M209->Y:$FFC1,9,1 ;Thumbwheel Port Output Bit 2
...
M215->Y:$FFC1,15,1 ;Thumbwheel Port Output Bit 7
A typical use of an output bit in a program would be:
X1000 Y1000
DWELL500
M208=1 ;set bit 0 of the output (see above definitions)
A typical use of an input bit in a program would be:
IF (M203=1) ; If bit 3 of input set
X1000 Y1000
ELSE
X-1000 Y-1000

* The Data Input Bits are the inputs to the PMAC from external sources when passed through the opto-
isolation circuitry. These can be of either non-inverting or inverting type depending on the position of the
jumper E5. With E5’s pin 1 connected to its pin 2, the inputs are not inverted. With E5’s pin 3 connected
to pin 2, the inputs are inverted (see also the enclosed Schematic).
** The Data Output Bits are the outputs from the PMAC to the opto-isolation circuitry which are then
passed to the external devices. These are always non-inverting.
P2 (JTHW) (Option 2 only) is a 26-pin Header that allows the Acc-27 to be interface with a PMAC through
its JTHW connector.
