The Quanser AMPAQ-PWM, pictured in Figure 1.1, is a pulse width modulated (PWM) current amplifier designed to power Quanser experiments. The AMPAQ-PWM is a single channel amplifier, meaning it can power a single load. The AMPAQ-PWM replaces the UPM line of power amplifiers with additional benefits, including a generic data acquisition board (DAQ) interface for increased flexibility, current sensing capability, and an auxiliary E-Stop connector to allow a single E-Stop button to stop multiple devices. -

AMPAQ-PWM should have a minimum inductance of 0.1 mH. Caution: Do not use the cables provided with the AMPAQ-PWM to wire it to experiments that use a different amplifier module. The AMPAQ-PWM can be used with such experiments only if plant specific cables are available. - Page 9 6. Install the fuse holders back into the amplifier. Push the fuse holder into the panel and twist the knob clockwise until secure. 7. Connect the power cable to the back of the amplifier. DRAFT - August 15, 2016 AMPAQ-PWM User Manual...

• Verify that the fuse is not burnt. If the fuse is burnt, see Section 4 for furst rating and replacement information. • If the AMPAQ-PWM is being used with a Quanser system, verify that all the connections illustrated in the User Manual for that Quanser product have been made correctly. - Page 13 Q1-cRIO Board Quanser’s range of control peripherals includes amplifiers and data acquisition boards. They can be purchased separately to control educational or research-grade plants. Mix and match these peripherals with Quanser plants and control design software to accelerate control system design and implementation.
