SimpleServo 100/200 User Manual Rev 3.4 Safety Warnings • The symbol shown at left indicates an important safety consideration. Please read this manual carefully before performing any of the procedures contained herein. Failure to follow these instructions may result in equipment damage, fire, severe injury, or fatality.
SimpleServo 100/200 User Manual Rev 3.4 General Information The SimpleServo family of servo amplifiers is an economical solution to today's complex motion- control needs. The SimpleServo combines a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), controller, heat sink and power supply in one standalone, DIN-rail mountable or panel-mounted unit. The SimpleServo can be operated as a stand-alone unit or as a digital amplifier.

SimpleServo 100/200 User Manual Rev 3.4 Installation WARNING! Hazard of electrical shock! Circuit potentials are at 115 VAC or 230 VAC above earth ground. Avoid direct contact with the printed circuit board or with circuit elements to prevent the risk of serious injury or fatality. Disconnect incoming power and wait 60 seconds before servicing drive.
SimpleServo 100/200 User Manual Rev 3.4 Wiring WARNING! Hazard of electrical shock! Circuit potentials are at 115 VAC or 230 VAC above earth ground. Avoid direct contact with the printed circuit board or with circuit elements to prevent the risk of serious injury or fatality. Disconnect incoming power and wait 60 seconds before servicing drive.
SimpleServo 100/200 User Manual Rev 3.4 EMI PROTECTION Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is an important concern for users of digital servo control systems. EMI will cause control systems to behave in unexpected and sometimes dangerous ways. Therefore, reducing EMI is of primary concern not only for servo control manufacturers such as AC Technology Corp, but the user as well.
SimpleServo 100/200 User Manual Rev 3.4 LINE FUSING External line fuses must be installed on all SimpleServos. Connect the external line fuse in series with the AC line voltage input. Table 3 lists the recommended line fuse sizes. Use fast acting fuses rated for 250 VAC or higher, and approximately 200% of the maximum phase current.
SimpleServo 100/200 User Manual Rev 3.4 CONNECTORS AC power in (AC models only) This power entry connector located on the bottom and made to accommodate standard 3-prong computer AC cable plug. WARNING! DO NOT connect incoming power to the output motor terminals (U, V, W)! Severe damage to the SimpleServo will result.

SimpleServo 100/200 User Manual Rev 3.4 Connectors and Wiring Notes Note 1 The enable (Enable) pin, TB2 pin 9, must be wired to one of the output terminals on the front-end controller, i.e., if the controller is present, it must supervise the enable function on the SimpleServo. The SimpleServo will accept open-collector outputs for use as a switch, TTL or CMOS outputs (5V) programmed for active low operation.
SimpleServo 100/200 User Manual Rev 3.4 I/O DETAILS 1. Step and Direction/ Master Encoder Inputs: TB2-12,13,14,15 You can connect a master encoder with quadrature outputs or a step and direction to control position in step/direction operating mode. You can connect a single ended or differential TTL or CMOS compatible 5V sourcing signals to the inputs.
