AMCI ANG1
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
Asyn model 3 driver support for the AMCI ANG1 stepper motor
|
|
controller/driver.
|
|
|
|
Modbus/TCP communication, using Mark Rivers' modbus module
|
|
|
|
Currently some basic parameters, such as IP address, motor current,
|
|
etc., will need to be set up on the controller using AMCI's PC/Win software.
|
|
Limits and Home also need to be configured with this software: *
|
|
+ Limit -> ANG1 Input 1
|
|
- Limit -> ANG1 Input 2
|
|
Home -> ANG1 Input 3
|
|
|
|
ANG1 configuration software is available from AMCI's website:
|
|
|
|
www.amci.com/product-software.asp
|
|
|
|
Eventually I would like to implement the "Configuration Mode" options
|
|
down in the driver, making the AMCI PC software necessary only for
|
|
initial comms (IP) setup.
|
|
|
|
The ANG1 controller/driver is available with or without an ethernet
|
|
port. A group of controller/drivers can contain up to 6 modules, one of
|
|
which needs to have the ethernet option. A single-channel
|
|
implementation would need the module with ethernet. This software is
|
|
intended to support configurations of multiple groups of 1 to 6 modules.
|
|
Again, each group will need 1 ethernet enabled module (ANG1-E).

ANG1Driver.cpp

ANG1Driver.h

ANG1Support.dbd

|
|
* Note: 1.) At some point I would like to add the capability to set these
|
|
parameters at boot-time, using the ANG1 "configuration mode".
|
|
|
|
2.) VBAS can only be set in configuration mode (which is not
|
|
currently supported) or by using the PC configuration software.
|
|
To use VBAS, set the desired value for the axis using the AMCI
|
|
PC configuration interface, then set the VBAS field in the
|
|
motor record accordingly. That way this value will be used by
|
|
the record to correctly calculate acceleration.
