AMC102 Datasheet, PDF (4/7 Pages) List of Unclassifed Manufacturers – Two-axis precision servo controller module

Manual movements
When a new position is requested by the host, the controller independently calculates the
optimum movement profile for each axis based on a maximum acceleration rate, maximum
speed and maximum deceleration rate defined for each axis. For large position changes, the
axis speed will ramp up to maximum speed, stay at this speed and then decelerate at
maximum rate to end at the desired position. New position requests can be issued by the
host at any time even when the controller is midway through the above process for a
previous request. If a new requested position is in the opposite direction of travel, the
controller will decelerate at maximum rate, change direction and accelerate at maximum rate
toward the target position as before. For short position change requests an axis may never
reach maximum speed before having to decelerate to the final requested position.
Temperature & humidity monitoring
The AMC102 incorporates separate sensors for measuring temperature and humidity; these
can be useful for monitoring the operating environment of the system enclosure. The
temperature sensor may be used, for example, to control system heaters at low ambient
temperatures, or perhaps to provide a high temperature warning. The temperature sensor
range is 0C to +85C.
The Humidity sensor can be useful in sealed systems, providing a means of monitoring the
seal integrity, and/or an early warning of when a desiccator requires replacement. The
humidity sensor output is 0% to 100% RH.
