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.
