    300 SERIES USER GUIDE Power Supply Considerations 1. Determine the maximum voltage required to drive your motor or load at peak current and peak RPM (in the case of a motor). Add extra for losses in the amplifier (see p. 10, Output Voltage Swing). Add an extra 5-10% for power supply ripple.

  • Page 26: Mounting

    300 SERIES USER GUIDE Mounting Standard Mounting The standard model comes with plug-in cable connectors. (See appendix for a list of connector types) The chassis can be mounted to flat surfaces with four #6 screws that go through four holes in the amplifier chassis. The mounting surface may provide adequate heat-sinking, or the amplifier can be ordered with a standard (-H option) or extended -HX option) heatsink.
  • Page 27: Mb4 Mounting Card

    300 SERIES USER GUIDE MB4 Mounting Card The MB4 card adds features and options to the 300 series amplifiers that are not available on the basic unit. These include PWM inputs, voltage-mode amplification, IR compensation, and output 'edge' filters. The MB4 card connects to the amplifier via connectors J3 & J4. The user makes connections to the amplifier/card assembly via connectors P1 (motor, and high voltage DC supply) , and P2 (reference, tach, and aux inputs, and Enable signals).

  • Page 31: Status Output Jumper

    300 SERIES USER GUIDE Status Output Jumper JP-103: 1-2 for open-drain MOSFET output, 2-3 for HCTTL output. Normal = HI (HCTTL), or off (MOSFET), fault = LO (HCTTL), or ON (MOSFET). Tuning and Adjustments First we describe the operation of the trimpots on the basic amplifier, and the MB4 and Eurocard.
  • Page 32: Mode Setting: Flat-Gain Vs. Tachometer

    300 SERIES USER GUIDE Mode Setting: Flat-Gain vs. Tachometer In current mode operation, the amplifier functions as a single-input, single-output transducer that converts an input voltage to an output current. Use of a tachometer is optional. When no tachometer is used, the amplifier is operated in the flat gain mode. This configuration gives the maximum bandwidth.
  • Page 33: Frequency Response With Tachometer

    300 SERIES USER GUIDE Frequency Response with Tachometer The curves below show the gain and phase for the servo preamplifier when using the J17 components setup for normal tachometer mode, and for the 1/3 and 1/5 gain modes as shown in the table on the preceding page.
  • Page 34: Tachometer Scaling

    300 SERIES USER GUIDE Tachometer Scaling As delivered, a +/-10V reference signal will drive the motor to a speed at which the tachometer produces a -/+8V signal, regardless of RPM. Tachometer scaling refers to the selection of components on the J17 header so that a particular signal at the reference inputs will drive a motor to a particular RPM.
  • Page 35: Voltage-Mode Gain

    300 SERIES USER GUIDE Voltage-Mode Gain This setup applies to MB4 and Eurocards that have been ordered with the -V option, for voltage feedback. A voltage-sensing circuit attenuates the amplifier's output voltage by a factor of 22. This voltage is then fed-back into the Tach input. Setting the voltage-gain then is similar to setting-up a system with a tachometer.
  • Page 36: Ir-Comp

    300 SERIES USER GUIDE IR-Comp Setup Procedure Two methods are presented here. Use the one that seems to be the most appropriate to your installation, and equipment available. First, remember that IR-comp is used in the voltage mode. So determine that the voltage gain of the amplifier has been set correctly (see proceeding section).
  • Page 37: Dynamic Setup Method

    300 SERIES USER GUIDE Dynamic Setup Method Equipment required: Oscilloscope, signal generator (square wave, 1 Hz.) 1. Adjust the Feedback pot CCW until oscillation appears (squealing sound). Turn pot 2 turns CW. Oscillation should cease. 2. Apply square wave to Reference voltage inputs. Monitor current monitor test point (TP2) with oscilloscope.
  • Page 38: Pwm Operation

    300 SERIES USER GUIDE PWM Operation PWM signals are of two distinct types that we refer to as 0-100% and 50%. The 0-100% type uses two signals: one to control the amplitude and the other to control direction. The 50% type uses only one signal that is at 50% duty cycle for a zero output from the amplifier, and changes to 0, or 100% for full output in the positive, or negative directions.
