AMAX-3100 Hardware Manual
AMAX-3100 is designed for high speed and precise motion control with compact
size and integrates motion and I/O control. AMAX-3100 built-in ARM processor which
can support real-time control to enhance system efficiency and reliability. In terms of
software, AMAX-3100 built-in Advantech Softmotion kernel supports interpolation
and high precise trajectory, furthermore, AMAX-3100 provides ARES Developer IDE
supporting ARES script which is a G-code-like language to shorten the development
time and speed-up hands on.
AMAX-3100 controller Integrates the hardware and software to save our cost
and time, provides users a more cost-effective choice of motion control solution.

1.2 AMAX-3100 Architecture
AMAX-3100 is an ARM-based solution and provides easy-to-use IDE ARES
Developer. Users can install ARES Developer which is designed for machine makers
on IPC or notebook and edit, compile, run the programs on ARES developer,
download the developed programs to AMAX-3100 via Ethernet. In addition, AMAX-
3100 also provides Modbus TCP/RTU to connect to 3rd party devices and HMI to
achieve the User Interface.
