Description
Manufacturer
Advanced Micro Systems, Inc.
Datasheet
OVERVIEW
The MAX-410 (single axis) and MAX-
420 (dual axis) are full function mi-
crostep positioning systems with integral
driver (4 amps) and power supply
(40Vdc). Standard features include 2k
bytes of non-volatile memory for
program storage, extended user I/O
facilities, programmable motor current
and independent acceleration/decelera-
tion ramping.
Programming is through high-speed RS-
422 serial interface with simple mne-
monic commands for plug-and-play
operation. Optional encoder circuitry
provides stall detection and position
feedback for closed-loop operation.
The MAX systems incorporate AMS’
proprietary “Variable Resolution
Microstep Control” (VRMC
technology for accurate and repeatable
positioning at any shaft speed. Step
resolution ranges from 400 to over
50,000 steps per revolution.
Short circuit, over temperature and under
voltage protection, combined with
special “Watchdog” software, ensure
trouble-free operation in any environ-
ment. For export, CE certified models
are also available.

SERIAL INTERFACE
The MAX systems feature full duplex
serial communications. A “Party Line”
interface implements a differential
transmission and receiver pair that
provides reliable communication in
industrial environments. This protocol
permits simultaneous communication
(up to 32 axis) with minimum command
processing latency.
PROGRAMMABLE CURRENT
The MAX has a programmable current
feature that controls motor winding
current to within 1% resolution. Indepen-
dent settings for “RUN” and “HOLD”
currents permit full motor torque when
stepping. Automatic power down to the
hold current value minimizes motor
power dissipation when the system is in
an idle mode of operation.
PROGRAMMING
Programs can be stored in non-volatile
memory by using a host computer or
dumb terminal. For stand-alone use there
is a “GO” switch input. Additional input
ports can test and branch to multiple
motion subroutines. Two programmable
outputs are available to drive solid state
relays and other devices. A separate
“TRIP” function provides automatic
program branching when a specified
motion is passed. Additional control
inputs include soft stop, dual speed jog
and step by step monitoring of travel
limits.
ENCODER FEEDBACK
All MAX systems are easily upgraded to
include encoder feedback for “closed
loop” applications that require positional
feedback data and stall detection. A
built-in “line count” multiplier extends
normal encoder resolution by a factor of
four, providing greater accuracy at less
cost.
