DESCRIPTION The MAXp is a full length PCI bus motion controller that conforms to the PCI Local Bus specification, rev 2.2. The MAXp is capable of up to 8-axis of control of which each axis can be configured as an open loop stepper, a closed loop stepper, or a servo axis. The MAXp is powered by a PowerPC processor. This high performance processor provides a 64-bit Floating Point processor and is clocked at 266MHz. This provides the MAX with the pure processing power to update every signal of the controller, i.e. I/O bits, direction, limits, etc., at rates of 122gs. The MAXp supports 16...

• Auxiliary output on the X axis is turned on, which could turn on the cutting torch or laser starting the cut at the center of the circle. • A half circle is cut from the center to the outside of the hole positioning the cutting tool at the start of the hole. • The hole is then cut, the torch turned off, the stage stopped and the contour definition completed. • The stage is then positioned and the contour definition executed. The following would be input from the host...
