General Specifications
The AMC300 is a multi-functional piezo controller designed for closed loop positioners. It supports up to 3 axes for table top versions and up to 6 axes for rack versions. The connection to the product is facilitated through 3 x D-Sub HD 26-Pin connectors.

Modes of Operation
The controller supports both open loop and closed loop positioning. Open loop positioning includes stepping and fine positioning modes for AN* series positioners, while closed loop control is available for AN*/RES positioners. Remote operation is possible via USB 2.0, Ethernet port, and remote control (DS4). Multiple devices can be controlled via one PC using Daisy chaining (/PRO - Feature).

Size and Dimensions
The chassis dimensions are 22 x 22 x 8.8 cm³ for the table top version and 19", 2 rack units for rack versions. The weight is approximately 2 kg for the table top version and approximately 2.5 kg/4.5 kg for single/double rack versions.

Controller Hardware
The power supply options include 100/115/230V, 50-60 Hz, with an IEC inlet connector. Each axis requires a connection cable (ELE - POS) of 2m length.

Software Drivers
Drivers are available through a JSON-based REST API with wrappers for Python, LabVIEW, Matlab, and C-Library (Windows/Linux).

Output Signals
The output voltage range for stepping is 0..65 V and for fine positioning is ± 65 VDC. The frequency range for stepping is 0..5 kHz for one axis and 0..2 kHz for three axes simultaneously. The maximum output current for stepping is > 16 A peak, with a maximum capacitance load of 2 µF. The setpoint bandwidth is 20 Hz, and output noise is < 5 mVpp for stepping and < 1.3 mVpp for fine positioning (both at 500 kHz bandwidth). The resolution of signal generation is 680 µV (16 bit).

Trigger Signals
Trigger level definitions include LVDS and LVTTL, with one input trigger per axis. The trigger interface is a GPIO port.

Remote Controller
The DS4 Dualshock controller is used for remote control, supporting single steps and continuous movement via stick. It has a wireless range of 10 meters in free space and can connect via Bluetooth or cable.

Features and Upgrades
The dual-channel upgrade activates the second axis connector for positioners, while the tri-channel upgrade activates the second and third axis connectors. The /PRO feature, always included, enhances functionalities and control for closed loop operation. The /IO feature, also always included, allows real-time interfacing with external signals through the GPIO port.
