10A Series



DESCRIPTION: 10A Series PWM servo amplifiers are designed to drive brush type DC motors. There are two different models
to the 10A Series: models 10A8 and model 5A5. Operating effici ency for 5A5 is 90%, and 95% for 10A 8. Both models are fully
protected against over-voltage, over-current, over-heating and shor t-circuits across motor, ground and power leads. These ampl ifiers
interface with digital controllers or c an be used as a stand-alone drive. Model 10A8 requires a single unregulated power suppl y only.
Model 5A5 also requires an external + 12V to +15V supply. A potentiometer is located on the side of both modules for loop gain
adjustment.

OPERATING MODE SELECTION

10A Series amplifiers operate in the following modes:

* Voltage Mode (10A8 only)
* Velocity Mode
* Current (Torque) Mode

Use of mating mounting card is required for the following modes:

* Analog Position Loop mode
* Voltage Mode (5A5 only)

Voltage mode can be selected for model 10A8 by shorting pins P1- 15 and P1-5. Use of mating mounting cards is required for 5A5. Current
(Torque) mode can be selected for model 10A8 by shorting pin P1-10 to P1-13. This mode can be sele cted for model 5A5 by shorti ng pin
P1-10 to P1-11.

See section "G" for more information.


CURRENT LIMIT ADJUSTMENTS

These amplifiers feature a si ngle current limit adjustment. If due to extremel y harsh operating conditions over-heating occurs , the internal
analog temperature sensor automatic ally reduces the current limit to a safe level without inte rrupting operation or damaging th e amplifier.
The current limit can be reduced by connecting an external resist or between pins P1- 8 and 9. See chart on the data sheet (pag e A-35) for
values.

See section "G" for more information.

FEATURES:
* Differential or single-ended inputs

* Potentiometer adjustments
for offset/test, input gain,
tach, IR compensation, current limit

* Current, voltage, tachometer,
and IR compensation modes

DESCRIPTION: Advanced Motion Controls MC3X Series mounting card produc t line is designed to host three Model 10A8 or Model 5A5 servo
amplifiers. On-card DC-to-DC converter generates the + 15V from the high voltage supply. Customer is provided + 10V at +5mA for customer use at the
screw terminals. Part NO's beginning with "MC" can host both 5A 5's and 10A8's. Part NO's beginning with "MF" can host either 5A5's or 10A8's and
feature an on board filter in the motor lines. The schematic on the reverse side of this data sheet describes all combinations of 5A5 and/or 10A8 for 1-, 2-,
and 3-axes cards. The cards measure: 4.98" x 8.00" (3-axes), 4.98" x 6.02" (2-axes), 3.80" x 4.98" (1-axis). The highest point on the cards is 1.10"

Servo Amplifier/Card Configurations: The operating modes are selected by DIP switches acco rding to the table on the block diagram. When SW 1,
5, 9 are in "test mode", the sensitivity of the offset pots is increased so they can be used as an "on-board reference signal".

Current Mode Reference-Gain Adjustments: Connect "+C" to "+10V" on screw terminal and adjust Pot 2, 7, 12 (for channels #1, 2, 3) to obtain -5V at
the test point located between Pot 2, 7, 12 and edge of card (wiper of Pot 2, 7, 12) . Adjust the potentiometer located on the side of the amplifier module to
obtain 7.5V at left contacts of C 3, 43, 63 (which are connected to pin 10 of module). C 3, 43, 63 are not factory installed.

Amplifier Loop-Compensation: In Voltage and Tachometer Mode rotate potentiometer located on the side of the amplifier module clockwise until
oscillation occurs, and then turn counter-clockwise until oscillation stops.

IR Compensation Configuration: Rotate potentiometer located on the side of the amplif ier module clockwise until oscillation occurs, and then turn
counter-clockwise until oscillation stops. Repeat this procedure for Pot 4.
See section "G".

ANALOG POSITION LOOP MODE

In this mode the feedback device is an analog potentiometer mechanically tied to the positioned object. This potentiomete r can be powered by the card
(+/-10V). The command is an analog signal which can be supplied by the user, or a potentiometer supplied by the card (+/-10V) (see analog position mode
block diagram page G-15). Tune amplifier in voltage mode (or in IR compensation mode for best results), then connect the analo g position feedback and
turn Pot 2 clockwise until oscillation occurs. Finally, rotate Pot 2 counter-clockwise to stop oscillation. (Oscillation may not occur).
