Chapter One: Description, Features and Specifications
1.1 Description:
This brush type servo amplifier system has been designed to offer you, our customer, a
large degree of flexibility and customization with a standard, in stock product. The amplifier
is of a modular, ‘open’ construction design, for ease of installation and service.
The amplifier system is available in the following types of configurations:
• As amplifier modules, SMA7105-1, is used where you supply the DC Bus voltage,
cooling fan(s), fusing and shunt regulator. Please see section 1.2.1 for more detailed
information.
• For multi-axis applications, the multi-axis baseplate power supply can supply DC
power, cooling fans, fusing and a shunt regulator for up to 4 axis or 20 amperes
continuous. Please see section 1.2.2 for more detailed information.
Each amplifier accepts a bipolar DC control input. The polarity of this signal determines
the direction of rotation. This signal may be used to control either the velocity (RPM) or the
current (torque) of the motor(see Servo Loops, section 2.3). The amplifier provides
Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) power to the motor in proportion to the input signal.
Each amplifier has several ‘logic’ inputs to stop the motor in one or both directions.
These inputs are very useful for connecting to mechanical limit switches or digital equipment.
Each amplifier has several protection circuits to protect the amplifier, motor, and operator
from almost any kind of fault. Flashing LED shows what fault has occurred, and a separate
output can be used to signal other equipment.
1.2 Features:
1.2.1 Single Amplifier Module (SMA7105-1):
• Ergonomic design: Easy access to connections, adjustments, and test points.
• Wide operating 30-220VDC.
bus voltage:
• Complete isolation: Complete isolation from input to output.
• Dual signal inputs: Two single-ended or one differential. Both single-ended inputs can
be used simultaneously. All inputs have up to 15,000A/V gain, and
all inputs will accept ±13VDC.
• Dual mode operation: The amplifier may be configured for velocity (RPM) control or
current (torque) control.
