    ACSControl. 2.1.1.2 Full Waveform Generator Mode (Option) In the full waveform generator mode the TC.ACS device simulates a grid or any other kind of electrical source. I.e. it generates signal functions that resemble those being generated by the respective source.
  • Page 14: Amplifier Mode

    2.1.2 Amplifier Mode In the amplifier mode the TC.ACS device works as a triphase voltage or current (option) amplifier. I.e. it receives external signals via its analogue interfaces for each phase. These signals are amplified and then transferred to the output. Here any device, which creates electrical signals, can be used as an external signal generator.
