Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be
free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of pur-
chase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by
persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech, or which have been
subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Advantech assumes no
liability under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of
our customers never need to use our repair service. If an Advantech product is defec-
tive, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge during the warranty period. For out-

service time and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU
speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and software used, etc.) Note
anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages you get when the problem
occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,
and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return merchandize
authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your return
more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and Replacement
Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt)
in a shippable container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date
is not eligible for warranty service.

Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.
To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis
before you work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other
cards while the PC is on.
Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush
of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive elec-
tronic components.

1.1 Introduction
The AMAX-3245 is an 4-axis EtherCAT pulse module that can connect to the upper
EtherCAT motion control card PCI/PCI-1203 and pulsed stepper and servo motors.
The open frame design makes it convenient to connect to Mitsubishi J3/J4, Yaskwa
Sigma V/7 and Panasonic A4/A5 servo motor drives via a dedicated cable through
the D-sub 26-pin interface.
In addition to high-precision motion interpolation, continuous contouring and axes
synchronization, the AMAX-3245 also offers high-speed position comparison trigger
(Compare Trigger) and latch (Latch) functions, making it ideal for a variety of automa-
tion industry applications.
1.2 Features
Max. 5 MHz pulse output
Up to 32 bit incremental encoder input. Encoder input is 2.5 MHz for CW/CCW
mode, 2.5 MHz for 4xAB mode.
Suitable for DIN-rail mounting; terminal on the module which can be directly
connected to third party servo drive
Easily visible LED indicators on board to do diagnosis
Programmable interrupt
Memory buffer (10K points) for trajectory planning
2-axis position compare triggering up to 100 KHz, and memory buffer is up to
100 K points
Position latch
Supports gantry control
