• Continuous current up to 6 A Basic drive description: The SCA-LE-30-03 servo amplifiers are designed to drive DC brush type motors. They require a single DC power supply for operation. The drives are to be used with a single motor. They have the functionality to operate as an independent speed control or high performance servo.
Improper wiring could cause a “motor run away” condition, and cause serious injury or damage to the machine and persona Before starting installation of the SCA-LE-30-03, be sure that main power is disconnected. After powering the drive it should not be touched by hand or risk shock.

User Manual SCA-LE-30-03 Glossary Offset There are two distinct functions for the Offset-Potentiometer: 1. Levelling the position at which the motor stands still. 2. Selection of the Set Value. This task requires setting jumper J5 and J6. In any mode, this feature is available and offers the possibility of a quick functional test.

User Manual SCA-LE-30-03 Torque mode In this mode the driver controls only the current into the motor. The speed of the motor depends on the load because only the output force of the motor is regulated. Voltage Mode In the voltage mode the drive is watching the output voltage as a feedback voltage.

User Manual SCA-LE-30-03 Closed loop This is broadly applied term, relating to any system in which the output is measured and compared to the input. The output is then adjusted to reach the desired condition. In motion control, the term typically describes a system utilizing a velocity and/or position transducer to generate correction signals in relation to desired parameters.

User Manual SCA-LE-30-03 Driver Is the electronics which convert step and direction inputs to high power currents and voltages to drive a step motor. The step motor driver is analogous to the servomotor amplifier's logic. Encoder Is a feedback device which converts mechanical motion into electronic signals. The most commonly used, rotary encoders, output digital pulses corresponding to incremental angular motion.

User Manual SCA-LE-30-03 Open-loop A system in which there is no feedback. Motor motion is expected to faithfully follow the input command. Stepping motor systems are an example of open-loop control. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) 1. A PWM controller (amplifier) switches DC supply voltage on and off at fixed frequencies.

User Manual SCA-LE-30-03 Thermal protection A thermal sensing device mounted to the motor to protect it from overheating. This is accomplished by disconnecting the motor phases from the drive in an over temperature condition. Torque Is a measure of angular force which produces rotational motion. This force is defined by a linear force multiplied by a radius;...
User Manual SCA-LE-30-03 Description of Inputs and Outputs Digital Inputs Enable In: Activating or Disabling the Output Stage If the Enable In input is at GND potential or not wired at all, the output stage remains in the locked state. The motor stands still or slow down without brake. To reactivate the output stage, a voltage signal >8 V to the Enable In input XA/14 is necessary.
