Product Overview This manual describes the installation and operation of the CPP-A12V80A-SA-USB digital servo-amplifier manufactured by ElectroCraft Inc. Key Features Features of CPP-A12V80A-SA-USB drive: • +12 to +80 VDC power supply input. • 12 Amps Continuous, 30 Amps Peak (2 seconds).
Encoder Only IxR Estimator Identification Labels Identification label with ElectroCraft serial number Figure 6: Drive with identifying label Status Indicator Lights In normal operation, the drive is either in an “Enabled” state or in a “Disabled” state. When power is first applied, the green LED will be On indicating that power has been applied.
The drive does not have any temperature or output PWM frequency derating in the ambient temperature range of 0 to 40°C when mounted according to ElectroCraft recommendations as specified in section 4.1. Operating the drive outside ElectroCraft recommendations or in a closed box and stagnant air may limit maximum performance.
A motor over-temperature protection function is provided by the drive. The drive is designed to be compatible with standard Electrocraft motors equipped with a thermistor temperature sensor. However the drive is capable of interfacing with any resistance based temperature sensor that meets the following criteria.
First Time Operation To get started, proceed as follows: 1. Install ElectroCraft CompletePower Plus Universal Drive Configuration Tool onto user PC and open the software window. 2. Connect I/O, motor phase and feedback wires to the drive. Make sure the Enable switch is in the OFF position.
For properly sizing the resistor, a complex calculation requiring detailed information about the application and load is needed. This data is often not known or difficult to obtain, so ElectroCraft has provided the following guideline as a starting point which has proven sufficient in the majority of applications. If further support is needed or this recommendation does not provide the required performance please contact ElectroCraft.
On voltage (set in the configuration software). ElectroCraft recommends connecting a capacitor of 100 μF per each ampere deceleration current across J1 pin 1 and pin 2 as shown in section 12.5. For example, the application given in section 12.3.2 has a deceleration current of 12 A, so it will need a 1200 μF capacitor.
