The Turbo PMAC2 UMAC CPU is intended to be used in a 3U UMAC Rack, which is a modular rack format permitting the user to configure his or her rack with whatever I/O, servo control cards, MACRO cards, communication cards or any other accessory card Delta Tau offers for the UMAC Rack format, to build a totally user-customized system. The Turbo PMAC2 UMAC CPU can control up to 32 axes, whether through direct local control, or distributed control over a MACRO fiber optic ring.
