AMT SyncSys Ax (motion controller) and AMT SyncSys IO (I/O controller) — same footprint and connections.
| AMT SyncSys Ax | AMT SyncSys IO | |
| Description | Ethernet motion and I/O controller | Ethernet I/O controller, no motion |
|---|---|---|
| Driver type | Controller only — STEP, DIR, ENABLE to external stepper or servo drives with step / direction input | — |
| Axes | 3 (1- and 2-axis versions as OEM specials) | None |
| Control mode | Host command (ASCII over Ethernet) | Host command (ASCII over Ethernet) |
| Supply voltage | 15–30 Vdc, 24 Vdc nominal | Same |
|---|---|---|
| Idle supply current | 80 mA | Same |
| Reverse-polarity protection | Yes | Yes |
| Optional output | +12 Vdc on main power connector pin 3 | Same |
| Step / pulse rate | 16 to 500,000 steps/s per axis | Fast channels F1–F3: 16 Hz to 500 kHz, clock or exact burst* |
|---|---|---|
| Axis modes | Positioning, Feeder-Index, Spindle | — |
| Motion profile | Trapezoidal (linear ramp) | — |
| Acceleration / deceleration | 1 to 10,000 ms, per axis | — |
| Position counter | Signed 32-bit | — |
| Homing | Fast search, release, slow approach, clearance move | — |
| Jog / continuous | Jog; continuous run in Spindle mode with speed change | — |
| Motion type | Coordinated motion — not CNC interpolated motion. A multi-axis move line starts its axes together; no linear or circular interpolation | — |
| Sync / position-compare outputs | 1 per axis (DO1 X, DO2 Y, DO3 Z) | — |
| Non-volatile parameters | Yes | Yes |
| Limit / home inputs | LIM+ and LIM− per axis; LIM+ also HOME (normally closed, fail-safe) | — |
|---|---|---|
| Digital inputs | 4 | 10 |
| Digital outputs | 4 (DO1–DO3 also position-synchronized) | 13 |
| Isolation | Digital inputs, outputs and E-Stop opto-isolated | Same |
| Input voltage | 5–24 Vdc | Same |
| Output ratings | User outputs: open collector, 48 V / 150 mA max. High-speed outputs: 5 V / 40 mA | Same circuits |
| E-Stop | Normally closed; gates every step output in hardware | Normally closed; stops the fast channels, holds the other outputs |
| Analog inputs | 2, 0–5 Vdc, 12-bit | 2, 0–5 Vdc, 12-bit |
| Interface | Ethernet 10/100 | Same |
|---|---|---|
| Protocol | Plain ASCII command set over TCP | Same, without the axis commands |
| Address | IP address, factory default 192.168.1.222; field configurable | Same |
| Firmware update | Over Ethernet | Over Ethernet |
| Software | AMT Script Engine | AMT Script Engine |
| Over-current / short-circuit | Yes (on-board DC-DC power supply) | Same |
|---|---|---|
| Over-voltage | Yes, on the 5 Vdc driver-output supply | Same |
| Under-voltage | Brown-out reset and low-voltage detection | Same |
| Communications watchdog | Yes | Yes |
| Status reporting | Status and fault words, event messages over Ethernet | Status, E-Stop state and event messages |
| Indicators | Status LED | Status LED |
| Operating temperature | 0 to 70 °C | Same |
|---|---|---|
| Storage temperature | −40 to 85 °C | Same |
| Humidity | 5 to 95%, non-condensing | Same |
| Cooling | Natural convection | Same |
| Dimensions | 8.0 × 5.2 × 1.5 in (203 × 132 × 38 mm), without mating plugs | Same |
| Connectors | Pluggable PTSM terminals: main power 6-position keyed; axis, user I/O and analog 6-position; limit inputs 3-position; supply inputs 2-position; Ethernet RJ45 | Same |
| Included | Mating PTSM plug connectors | Same |
* Fast pulse channels are provided in a coming firmware release. Specifications are subject to change.
Describe the sequence, the axes and the I/O. We'll confirm the configuration and provide a quotation.
