FLY-AMS Automatic Refilling System
FLY-AMS is a dual-channel automatic refilling system. Each motor channel includes two sensors for feeding and discharging, while the buffer has 4 position sensors to control feeding, stopping, retraction, and channel switching.
Product Specifications
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Current Firmware Version | V2.0.7 |
| Control Board | STM32F072C |
| Local Channels | 2 channels |
| Motor Drive | Two-step motor drive |
Configuration Tool: FLY-AMS Configuration Tool
It can read the currently saved parameters of the device and automatically refresh the status of up to 8 sensors; slave units without a local buffer display 4 motor sensors.
Key Functions
- Automatic feeding, stopping, and retraction for two consumable channels.
- Controlling feeding in the current channel through buffer position sensors.
- Automatically searching for the next available channel when the current consumables are exhausted.
- Button control for advancing, retracting, and switching modes in individual channels.
- Sensor calibration values, speed, current, and operation mode can be saved to the device.
- Protection against motor timeouts, over-distance issues, sensor abnormalities, and watchdog errors.
Sensor Overview
| Position | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Motor Channel 0 | S1 | Detects when consumables enter the channel |
| Motor Channel 0 | S2 | Detects when consumables reach the motor outlet |
| Motor Channel 1 | S1 | Detects when consumables enter the channel |
| Motor Channel 1 | S2 | Detects when consumables reach the motor outlet |
| Buffer | B1 | Checks if there are consumables in the buffer path |
| Buffer | B2 | Forward position; triggers feeding when activated |
| Buffer | B3 | Stop position; triggers stopping feeding when activated |
| Buffer | B4 | Retraction position; triggers retraction when activated |
Pre-Use Checks
Before checking the wiring, terminals, or mechanical structure, make sure the printer is completely turned off and the power supply is disconnected. Do not plug or unplug cables, organize connector wires, or touch terminals while the device is powered on.
- Ensure the consumable path is unobstructed and the feeding wheel applies appropriate pressure.
- Confirm that the wiring for motors, buffers, buttons, and indicator lights is securely connected.
- Make sure there are no fingers, tools, or loose wires around all moving parts.
- Perform sensor calibration and testing before first use or after updating the main control firmware.
