Soloist CP Chapter 1: Introduction Aerotech’s Soloist CP (Compact PWM) network digital drive is a high performance amplifier. The drive provides deterministic behavior, auto-identification, and easy software setup. The Soloist CP’s high performance double precision floating point DSP controls the digital PID and current loops. All system configuration is done using software-settable parameters, including control loop gains and system safety functions.
