2.4.3AML Management Unit (AMU)

The AMU is the control processor for the AML system. In the normal mode the host computer sends the commands to the AMU for controlling the system. The AMU is located next to further power supply compo- nents in the control cabinet Figure 2-2: on page 2-3.

It is possible to connect a second AMU PC in parallel to back up against failures due to failures of the PC hardware. This redundant version is called Dual-AMU, and a few cables have to be reconnected for the change.
