ADVANCED Motion Controls Product
Member Since 2011
ADVANCED Motion Controls® (AMC) designs, manufactures and supplies the highest performance servo drives and servo amplifiers available. From complete PWM servo control to custom servo solutions, AMC provides brushed and brushless motor drives with the latest in digital servo technology and analog servo expertise. AC servo and DC servo motor controllers are available for general servo automation or specific robot control. Our newest DigiFlex® Performance™ digital motion control servos includes positioning drive features as a more complete servo motor drive for AC and DC brushless servo motors, DC brush type servo motor, linear and rotary servo motors, closed loop vector motors, voice coils, inductive loads and actuators for precise motion control. Network connections for either centralized or distributed servo systems include: EtherCAT, Ethernet PowerLink, CANopen, RS232, RS485, Ethernet UDP/IP, Modbus TCP, and many other custom interfaces.

Click&Move is a complete and customizable motion control and automation system with both a software and hardware component.
Whether it’s completing simple, single-axis movement with minimal I/O or complex multi-axis movements in real time, Click&Move combines sophistication with simplicity to assist OEMs and Systems Integrators. This makes Click&Move perfect for machinery and factory automation, responsive robotics, or coordinated visual displays.
Click&Move has support for CANopen, EtherCAT, and Ethernet POWERLINK network protocols and can be operated by multiple platforms, including PC (Win OS and Linux), a stand-alone controller, or even directly by AMC’s servo drives.
The Software Side
Click&Move leverages its own IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that allows operators to code for their own wide range of applications. This includes everything from PLC machine commands to CNC specific apps for greater control.
Click&Move users can create their own user-defined function blocks and pull from a library of hundreds of premade function blocks to build their simple or complex logical block diagrams. This interface not only makes it easy to set up logic, but also provide readouts that can be referenced in the user’s HMI (Human Machine Interface).
Our IDE allows developers to design their own HMI screens for real time computational commands and readouts. The HMI builder is easy to use and can be configured however the user wants. Users can even create a graphical representation of their motion system that displays onscreen and responds in real time.
The Hardware Side
Once the logic programming and motion commands are complete, Click&Move can be integrated into a motion control system. While the possibilities are limitless, most Click&Move systems fall into one of three architectures.

PC-Based
In the PC-based solution, the C&M development software is used to create motion code, PLC logic, and user interface screens (HMI). The code is compiled for the targeted PC platform and then downloaded. Servo drives and I/O are connected to the PC platform via the network.
Motion Automation Control Card
Motion Automation Control CardThe Motion Automation Control Card (MACC) is a general purpose motion/automation controller with embedded Click&Move® capability. In this scenario, the code is compiled for the MACC platform and then downloaded. The servo drives and I/O are connected to the MACC platform via the network. Optionally, a separate HMI screen can be incorporated via the HDMI connector onboard.
Servo Drive-Embedded
ADVANCED Motion Controls offers digital drives that are designed to store and run an embedded C&M program. The C&M development software is used to create motion code and PLC logic. The code is compiled for the targeted drive platform and then downloaded. I/O is local to the drive(s). This is a simple, powerful solution for small applications.
