CAUTION: Calibration Information If you inform PI about your application, your E-664 will be fully calibrated before being shipped. It is usually not necessary for you to do anything more than adjust the zero point before operating the system.
This manual describes the functionality and the use of E-664 LVPZT Amplifier / Position Servo Controller The E-664 is a bench-top device to operate up to three low-voltage piezoelectric translators (LVPZTs) in open-loop and closed-loop (position controlled) mode. The E-664 can be used with LVPZTs equipped with strain gauge displacement sensors.
User Manual PZ 99E Quick Start The E-664 PZT Controller was calibrated with the PZT translators before shipment. During the calibration process, the expansion of the PZT is compared with an external standard scale. Individual characteristics of the amplifier and servo- controller are compensated.

E-664 LVPZT Position Servo Controller User Manual PZ 99E 3.2. Closed-Loop (Servo ON) Mode 3.2.1. Manual Operation Displacement of the PZTs can be set by a 10-turn DC-Offset potentiometer in the range of zero to nominal displacement. For manual operation CONTROL IN should clamped at 0 V.
E-664 LVPZT Position Servo Controller User Manual PZ 99E Block Diagram Servo-control functions are implemented on an E-802 submodule. The respective User Manual provides detailed information. Fig. 2 E-664 block diagram Note: The potentiometer labelling P1-P5 shown above is that used on the E-802.55-type plug-in submodules, on which these functions are implemented.
User Manual PZ 99E Adjustment and Calibration Procedures CAUTION: If you inform PI about your application, your E-664 will be fully calibrated before being shipped. It is usually not necessary for you to do anything more than adjust the zero point before operating the system.

LVPZT should not exceed +100 V in order to maintain a long lifetime. The E-664 amplifiers have an output range from -20 V to +120 V. In this case, the zero position PZT voltage can be set within the range from -10 V to +10 V.

E-664 LVPZT Position Servo Controller User Manual PZ 99E Mount an external gauge to measure the PZT displacement. (with PZT power amplifier powered down, the external gauge should read 0; if it does not, note the offset and subtract it from subsequent readings) Set the switch on the front panel to Servo OFF.

E-664 LVPZT Position Servo Controller User Manual PZ 99E 5.3. Dynamic Calibration Dynamic performance of the PZT system is determined by the maximum output current of the amplifier and by the mechanical properties of the PZT mechanics, like moving mass, damping and resonant frequencies. Dynamic calibration optimizes step response and suppresses resonance, overshoot, and oscillation.
