    NEE - AMC Control on Onsrud Router

    I am working with a company who purchased a circa 1999 Onsrud Router with an NEE AMC control. I do not work on these brand controls or machines and the company advised me they are getting poor response from the manufacturer for assistance. Does anyone have an electronic document on this control? Operators type reference. Essentially they need to know how to home the control, call over programs, edit, etc.
    Any help would be great! Email to [email protected]

    Thanks!

    I don't have any electronic documentation for the AMC but I an running a 2004 Onsrud with AMC controller.

    Homing the machine is done during startup. Pull the e-stop and the controller will fire up. Once it's gone through it's strartup procedure it should prompt the user to datam the machine. At that point the machine should datam all axis.

    Transferring NC files is done from a pc networked to the machine. I use Cimco as an editor and transfer program. Once the program is loaded into the machine it can not be edited.

    Feel free to email me if you want to talk more. jason (at) mwdsgn.com

    Thanks Jason - I was able to work with them and develop processes to home the machine, call over programs, etc. There was limited information on this control available online.

    AMC-4 Controller

    I have a Onsrud 96 C10 made in 2000 but the documentation no longer contains the controller (AMC-4) manual. I need help with the serial connection, baud rate, data bits, stop bits, and Parity:Flow Control. Does anyone have any information on this.
    Thanks!

    Hello all,

    i have a lot of documents, docs and manuals concerning AMC4. Even a software called AMCutils. All is compressed in a rar file here : AMC.rar - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
    Hope it helps

    rmtoile, I downloaded your 4share file and it was very helpful with all of the contained documents! Do you also happen to have the WinAMC software? I see the AMCUtil software in there but not the WinAMC.

    I too am interested in getting the user's manuals for the NEE AMC4. If you post them again, I can work on posting them somewhere more permanent so you won't have to be bothered anymore.

    I'd appreciate it!

    Re: NEE - AMC Control on Onsrud Router

    Hello everyone... I realize this thread is very old, but this is the only thing i have found on the entire www that is close to solving my problem. I have a 2004 Onsrud Panel Pro 5x16 with the AMC pendant and the NEE controller. I do not have the original computer that was connected to the machine, so i too need to set up a terminal and figure out how to talk to this ancient machine. Anyone with any clues as to where to find the correct terminal software and how to config the serial connection, baud rate, data bits, stop bits, and Parity: Flow Control, etc. I can’t find a copy of WinAMC anywhere. I was able to find a terminal called CoolTerm, but I still can’t figure out what all the config settings need to be to make it work. I may just need to know the serial connection settings; Baud, parity, etc, but I also need the Post Processor for the CAM software to generate the GCode specific for the machine configuration. Can someone please help?
