A Continuous Current 6 A single red/green LED indicates operating status. The drive is fully protected against over-voltage, under Supply Voltage 20 - 80 VDC voltage, over-current, over-heating and short-circuits across motor, ground and power leads. Furthermore, the drive can interface with digital controllers or be used stand-alone and requires only a single unregulated DC power supply.

Through-hole capacitor that can be added for more precise current loop tuning. See section C10* below on Tuning with Through-hole components for more details. Velocity Loop Integrator. Through-hole capacitor that can be added for more precise velocity loop tuning. See section C5* below on Tuning with Through-hole components for more details. Tachometer Input Scaling. Through-hole resistor that can be added to change the gain of the tachometer input. See R13* section below on Tachometer Gain for more details. Current Loop Proportional Gain. Through-hole resistor that can be added for more precise current loop tuning. See R30* section below on Tuning with Through-hole components for more details. IR Compensation Scaling. Through-hole resistor that must be added to configure the amplifier for IR Compensation R8* mode. See section below on IR Compensation Notes for more details. Tachometer Gain Some applications may require an increase in the gain of the tachometer input signal. This occurrence will be most common in designs where the tachometer input has a low voltage to RPM scaling ratio. The drive offers a through-hole location listed in the above table where a resistor can be added to increase the tachometer gain. Use the drive’s block diagram to determine an appropriate resistor value. Tuning With Through-hole Components In general, the drive will not need to be further tuned with through-hole components. However, for applications requiring more precise tuning than what is offered by the potentiometers and dipswitches, the drive can be manually modified with through-hole resistors and capacitors as denoted in the above table. By default, the through-hole locations are not populated when the drive is shipped. Before attempting to add through-hole components to the board, consult the section on loop tuning in the installation notes on the manufacturer’s website. Some general rules of thumb to follow when adding through-hole components are: Release Date: Revision: Advanced Motion Controls · 3805 Calle Tecate, Camarillo, CA, 93012 Page 5 of 9 8/5/2008 0.00 ph# 805-389-1935 · fx# 805-389-1165· www.a-m-c.com Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com Analog Servo Drive 12A8 • A larger resistor value will increase the proportional gain, and therefore create a faster response time. • A larger capacitor value will increase the integration time, and therefore create a slower response time. Proper tuning using the through-hole components will require careful observation of the loop response on a digital oscilloscope to find the optimal through-hole component values for the specific application. IR Compensation Notes For applications that will use IR Compensation mode, a resistor must be added to the location named in the table above. The combination of the added resistor and correct dipswitch settings will configure the amplifier for IR Compensation mode. While in IR Compensation mode, the amplifier will adjust the duty cycle to compensate for changes in the output current. Consult the amplifier’s functional block diagram and the manufacturer’s website for more information. † Note: Damage done to the drive while performing these modifications will void the warranty.
