Annex: Principle of Function of the iTNC 530 Control
1.1
Introduction
This chapter gives you block diagrams and brief explanations of the principle of function of the
iTNC 520 control.
Fundamental knowledge about controls, encoders, drives, electronics and mechanics simplifies
error diagnosis and is often indispensible for successful servicing.
Ask your machine manufacturer for detailed or special explanations (e.g., machine functions,
circuit diagram of the machine)!
1.2
The Control Loop
The iTNC 530 can also control analog axes / spindles.
The control loop for
analog axes/
The position controller is located in the control, speed and current controller in the analog servo

amplifier.
The analog servo amplifiers are supplied with voltage values of - 10 V and + 10 V (speed
command interface).
