Just how simple is PMAC to program?
Many motion controllers work with assembly-language style short acronyms for their commands, making the programs and command sequences unreadable to anyone not completely immersed in the programming. PMAC controllers use high-level English-based commands (IF, WHILE, DWELL, CALL, etc.) whose meaning can easily be followed by casual observers. Furthermore, the macro substitution capability in Delta Tau’s PC-based editors permits the generation of PMAC programs that read like a natural language.
