E-509 Position Servo-Control Module User Manual PZ 77E 1. Introduction E-509 is a displacement-sensor and position-servo-control module for PZT actuators. The module is used in the E-500-series electronics and allows controlling the position (displacement) of piezoelectric devices with nanometer resolution. It can also be installed in E-470, E-471, E-480 and E-481 high-voltage amplifier systems, giving them servo-control capability.

E-509 Position Servo-Control Module User Manual PZ 77E 3.3. Sensor Processing and Servo-Control Functions The E-509 modules normally come pre-installed in an appropriate PI chassis (except for OEM versions). The system is calibrated at the factory with the associated PZT actuators. If, however, you should need to recalibrate your system, see Section and the E- 802 Servo-Control Submodule User Manual.
E-509 Position Servo-Control Module User Manual PZ 77E 4. E-509 Calibration Routines For most applications, only the zero point has to be realigned from time to time to compensate for temperature changes. Further adjustments are not required and not recommended as long as system components are not exchanged or modified. NOTE All basic calibration adjustments are done in PI lab before shipment.

E-509 Position Servo-Control Module User Manual PZ 77E Static gain (sensor range) adjustment: Static PZT displacement calibration requires an external expansion gauge with appropriate resolution (e.g. 0.01 µm for a P-841.30 actuator) and a precision voltmeter. The accuracy of calibration depends on the resolution of the external measurement system.

E-509 Position Servo-Control Module User Manual PZ 77E 4.3.2. Sensor Monitor Signal For each sensor channel, the sensor monitor signal available on the E-509.Ex front panel indicates the gap size between target surface and sensor probe, known as the probe-to-target gap. The sensor monitor signal can be used to adjust target and probe (see Section 4 .3.3 below for how to proceed).

E-509 Position Servo-Control Module User Manual PZ 77E 7.3.3. Connection of 2-Plate Capacitive Sensors The sensor probe and target plates form a air-capacitor. Its capacitance value, depending on the separation of the both plates, is compared with an internal reference capacitor of C = 10 pF.
E-509 Position Servo-Control Module User Manual PZ 77E 7.3.4. Connection of Single-Plate PISeca™ Capacitive Sensors The E-509.E3 and E-509.E03 have the triaxial sockets required to connect with PISeca™ single-plate capacitive sensors. The sensor cable carries the sensor signal surrounded by an active shield, all inside a grounded shield. The conductive reference plane is electrically connected to the unit on a separate cable via a banana jack.
E-509 Position Servo-Control Module User Manual PZ 77E 8.2. Measurement Range The measurement range depends on the size of the active sensor area as well as on the electronics used. Fig. 19: Definitions: measurement range and mid-range distance have identical values Due to PI’s proprietary signal conditioner electronics design, the mid-range distance is always identical to the selected measurement range.
E-509 Position Servo-Control Module User Manual PZ 77E Linearity is influenced to a high degree by the homogeneity of the electric field and thus by any non-parallelism of the probe and target in the application. PI capacitive position sensor electronics incorporate a proprietary design providing superior linearity, low sensitivity to cable capacitance, low background noise and low drift.
