AMP-104C 2.3.4 Software Driver Installation 1. Download the AMP-104C WDM file from ADLINK and run it. Installation executes automatically. 2. Select NEXT as prompted to complete installation. 3. After installation is complete, select FINISH. 4. Ensure the Windows Device Manager lists the AMP- 104C correctly.
Leading EDGE COMPUTING 2.4 DIP Switch Settings 2.4.1 SW1 – Card ID Selection The SW1 switch is used to set the card ID. For example, if 1 is set to ON and the others are OFF, that card index is 1. The index value can be from 0 to 15.
AMP-104C 2.4.2 SW2 – End Limit Type Selection The SW2 switch is used to set the type of end limit logic, which are Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC). For example, if the switch pin is set to “OFF”, the type of end limit logic is Normally Open.
Leading EDGE COMPUTING 2.4.3 SW3 – DO Initial State Selection The SW3 switch is used to set the initial DO state group setting. For example, if the SW3 Pin1 is set to “OFF”, the initial states of “DO0 to DO3” are high. Refer to the following table for details. DO # SW3 Pin No.
AMP-104C 2.5 Jumper Setting: Pulse Output Mode Selection Jumpers J1-J8 are used to set the mode of pulse output signals. The output signal mode can either be differential line driver or sin- gle-ended output. Refer to Section 3.1 for detailed jumper set- tings.

Leading EDGE COMPUTING 3.1 Pulse Output Signals There are 4 axis pulse output signals on the AMP-104C, each supporting up to 4.9 MHz output frequency. For each axis, two pairs of OUT and DIR signals are used to transmit the pulse train and to indicate the direction.
Page 33
AMP-104C The output of the signals can be configured by jumpers as either Single-Ended or Differential Line Driver output. Users can select the output mode either by closing breaks between 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 of jumpers J1-J8 as follows:...

3.3.2.1 Origin Position Signal (ORG) The AMP-104C provides one original or home signal for each axis. This signal is used for defining the zero position of this axis. The logic of this signal must be set properly before doing home proce- dure.
Page 40
These two signals are for safety, which can pre- vent a machine crash when missing an operation. The AMP-104C provides two direction end limit signals, PEL and MEL, for each axis. PEL indicates the end limit signal is in the pos- itive direction and MEL indicates the end limit signal is in the nega- tive direction.
Page 41
Direction Ramping-down Point Detection Signal (PSD / MSD) The AMP-104C provides a slow down function through PSD or MSD signal input for each axis. PSD indicates the direction is in the positive and MEL indicates the direction is in the negative.
