AC Servo Controllers
AMC10, AMC11
and AMC12
AMC10, 11 and 12 are a series
of AC Servo Controllers which
can be used to control both AC
and step motors rated up to
1kW.
The Controllers are based on a
16-bit microprocessor and 32-
bit signal processor, and are
characterised by great flexibility
for a wide range of control
applications.
The Controllers can be control-
led directly via the built-in
RS232/RS485 interface, or
indirectly via 6 digital inputs. In
addition, models can be sup-
plied with a built-in Fieldbus
interface. The Controllers can be
directly connected to PLCs
equipped with controller mod-
ules.
Up to 255 units can be con-
nected to the same RS232 bus,
and thus a PC or PLC can

function as controller for a
multi-axis system.
Using JVLs programming
software, MotoWare, motor-
power, velocity, torque etc., can
be monitored graphically and
comparisons made with previ-
ously recorded curves. This
facility greatly assists control
and troubleshooting.

The diagram above shows schematically
the internal structure of the AMC AC
Servo Controllers. All inputs and outputs
are available via a multi-connector
(DIN41612 ver. C) on the rear panel. A
connector board CON13 enables connector on the Controller's front
connection via screw terminals panel. The front panel is also equipped
(Phoenix plug). The RS232/485 with LEDs that indicate Controller
interface is available via a 9-pole SUB-9 status.
