Personality Module

The Personality Module pre-amplifier circuit, RCN4, (shown in Figure 2-6) is used to
interface input and tach feedback signals (if any exist). Figure 2-3 shows the location of
this module.
The user may reconfigure this module. An outline of the module is shown in Figure 2-8.

Potentiometer
Input Provides the means of adjusting the DC gain of the input command
present at J1-Pin 16. Turning this pot CW increases gain.
Tach Provides the means of adjusting the DC gain of the tach feedback
signal present at J1-Pin 18. Turning this pot CW increases gain.
Balance Provides the means of canceling small DC offsets that may be present
in the pre-amplifier circuit.
Current Limit Provides a means of adjusting the clamp levels of the current
command signal produced by the output of the pre-amplifier. Turning
this pot CCW increases the clamp levels (increases the peak current).
Gain Provides the means of adjusting the AC Gain of the pre-amplifier.
Turning this pot CCW increases gain.
Pots are only used in Velocity Mode, except for current limit (typically set full
CCW).
Current Limit pot may be set full CW, for zero peak current, when shipped from
Aerotech.
