AMP-204C / AMP-208C
1 Introduction
The AMP-204C / AMP-208C, is a fully in-house developed
DSP-based advanced motion control card from ADLINK. It
supports 4/8 axis pulse type signal commands, provides
open-loop circuit control options, and supports position commands
for several different servo drives.
AMP-204C / AMP-208C exchanges data with operating system
through high speed PCI bus including motion control command,
feedback data, parameter, etc. Used with the ADLINK exclusive
Softmove kernel, it offers scores of move control functions
including T/S speed profile planning, point-to-point movement,
multi-dimension interpolation, and master/slave motion.
The AMP-204C / 208C, see Figure 1 below for its system functions,
uses one digital signal processor (DSP) from Texas Instrument (TI)
as its main computing unit and integrates high speed large volume
Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to provide high speed
encoder output, 2/4 high speed position compare and trigger output,
move & general purposed I/O and logic control. It separates
isolation circuit into exclusive terminal board DIN-825-GP4 to
prevent the burning out of AMP-204C/208C from incorrect wiring.
Thanks to full range of flexing resistant wires from ADLINK, it
connects with market avaialble popular servo dirves easily.
