Hi all, I will close this thread out. I was able to get the manuals through BK. Apparently what you have to do (I won't get a chance to try it until Monday) is hold two buttons on controller boot, which will put it into program mode.
Eric Just a shot in the dark to see if anyone has run into one of these controllers. I am in the process of re-controlling several machines using AMC controllers (from Burny Kalikburn, not Advanced Motion Control), starting with one using the AMC3C controller. Unfortunately, another machine uses the AMC-B controller (see: http://www.burny.com/amc-b.shtml) and has stopped working. It will be a couple of months before we can get to this one. As best I can tell, it looks like it has lost its configuration, because all of the hardware (encoders, motors, wiring, etc.) checks out, and does in some fashion work, just not properly. PID values are way off, it does not home in the correct direction, etc. Thus it seems like the controller needs to have the configuration "flashed". I have the doc on how to do this on the 3C controller, which is a pedestal controller and has a switch to put it into program mode for flashing. I do not see an analogous switch on the AMC-B controller. I have found the flash program, the required "ini" and "hex" files", have a serial connection, etc. but it will not flash. There seems to be one guy in the world who still supports this controller and he does not seem to answer his phone or email. Any chance anyone here has ever run into one of these and knows the secret sauce to flashing it, or better yet, know where I can find a manual for it? I have not as yet been successful with Burny Kaliburn in getting a manual. I saw a post on CNC Zone about someone else having a similar problem, but with a different controller.
