Chapter One: Description, Features and Specifications
1.1 Description:
This brushless amplifier system has been designed to offer you, our customer, a large
degree of flexibility and customization with a standard, in stock product. Each amplifier
module consists of a standard power output board with a personality module mounted on it.
Following is a brief description of this personality module and its mode(s) of operation:
1.1.1 Standard Encoder to Sine Mode (SMA8730-1A-1) - In this mode of operation, the
brushless motor is commutated by hall sensors and an encoder, or an encoder which
contains three commutation signals (comm. tracks). This personality module can be
configured for the following two different types of operation:
VELOCITY MODE - In this mode of operation, the personality module generates a
tachometer signal which is used to close a velocity loop in the amplifier.
CURRENT MODE - In this mode of operation, which is also commonly referred to as
torque mode, a current in the motor is produced which is directly proportional to the
input signal.
1.1.2 Twang Mode (SMA8730-1A-1) - In this mode of operation, the brushless motor is
commutated by an encoder only.
These brushless amplifiers come with all industry standard inputs such as "limit, fault
output, etc. They are available as stand-alone units only.
1.2 Features:
1.2.1 Amplifier Module (SMA8730-1A-1):
Ergonomic design: Easy access to connections, adjustments, and
test points.
Wide operating 120-340 VDC.
buss voltage:
Complete isolation: Complete isolation from input to output.
Dual signal inputs: Two single-ended or one differential. Both
single-ended inputs may be used simultane-
ously. All inputs have up to 15,000 A/V gain,
and all inputs will accept +/-13VDC except
single-ended, which will accept +/- 10VDC.

Dual mode operation: The standard amplifier may be configured for
velocity (RPM) control or current (torque) con-
trol.
Current limit: Maximum motor current is adjustable.
Silent operation: Carrier frequency is 20KHz.
Short circuit protection: Complete short circuit and ground fault protec-
tion.
LED diagnostics: Red LED flashes to display various fault condi-
tions and a green LED illuminates to indicate
normal operating conditions.
Frequency response: 750 Hz minimum.
(Velocity Loop)
Frequency response: 2 KHz minimum.
(Current Loop)
Digital limit/enable Three separate logic inputs can stop the motor
Inputs: in either or both directions. Inputs may be
configured for active-high or active-low, pull-up
or pull-down termination, and a 0 to +5V or 0 to
+15V range.
Tachometer output: DC output proportional to motor RPM.
Fault input/output: Open-collector output goes low in the event of a
fault. This input is configured so that externally
forcing this output low will inhibit the amplifier.
This allows all fault outputs in a multi-axis sys-
tem to be connected together (wire-ORed) to
shut down all amplifiers should any amplifier
have a fault.
Manual and external Push button and a separate input is provided to
fault reset: reset the amplifier after a fault.
High-Speed Electronic Instantly shuts down the amplifier in the event of
Circuit Breaker a short across the motor leads or a ground fault
(HS/ECB): condition. (i.e. amplifier exceeds 100A for 10
microseconds)

Chapter Two: Theory of Operation
2.1 Current Mode vs Velocity Mode:
The fundamental difference between current mode and velocity mode is that in current
mode, an external command signal controls the torque of the motor, rather than the
velocity. In velocity mode, an external command signal controls the velocity (RPM) of the
motor, rather than the torque. In a current mode amplifier, the command signal is
proportional to the motor current, thus it is also proportional to the torque of the motor. In a
velocity mode amplifier, the current loop amplifier stage is preceded by a high gain error
amplifier which compares the command signal and the tachometer feedback signal.
Current mode amplifiers are usually used in Position Control Systems where no tachometer
feedback is required. While velocity mode amplifiers are usually used in Classic Cascaded
Contol Systems where there are position, velocity and current loops in the system. Velocity
loops tend to have a higher bandwidth and operate better near zero speed.
2.2 Protection Circuit:
The High- and Low-Speed Electronic Circuit Breakers(HS/ECB and LS/ECB) protect the
amplifier and motor from being damaged by high motor current(specified max. peak and
rms current values). The Over Temperature and Over Voltage detection circuits will shut
off the amplifier when the temperature of the amplifier or the buss (B+) voltage exceeds a
specified limit. Also, there are circuits which limit the motor from running in either or both
directions.

Chapter Three: Model Numbering
3.1 Introduction:
This chapter contains the model numbering system for the SMA8730-1A-1 stand-alone
amplifiers. The model numbering system is designed so that you will be able to create the
correct model number of the amplifier needed.
When placing an order for the SMA8730-1A-1 amplifier system, please contact Glentek
sales dept. and have the following information available:
1. Type of motor you will be using and motor specs.
2. Pole pitch of the motor; if linear motor, electrical cycle (The distance from one
North magnet to the other North magnet, or South to South). If rotary motor,
number of poles.
3. The encoder resolution of your system.
- Rotary - Pulses per revolution.
- Linear - Linear distance between encoder pulses. It is important that encoder
resolution be for a single channel, not for two channels operating in que.
4. Machine power voltage available at sight i.e. 3-phase, 208.
5. The phase-to-phase inductance of the motor.
6. The maximum speed for motor.
7. BEMF voltage of motor.
8. Max. continuous and max. peak current required at motor.
9. Amplifier mode of operation, current mode or velocity mode.
10. If known, types of inhibit, limits, and reset. If not specified, amplifier will be
shipped with type “A” inhibit, limits and reset.
11. Input option will be set single-ended. It may be set differential, although
Glentek recommends a single-ended input whenever possible.
From the above information the Glentek representative will issue a Custom Configuration
Code for your specific application.
Note: Whenever possible, it is very desirable to have the motor sent to Glentek for initial
system checkout at the factory, this tends to eliminate many field problems.

Chapter Four: Installation
4.1 Introduction:
This chapter provides information for connecting amplifiers to your system. If you need
additional help, contact a Glentek applications engineer.
4.2 Mounting:
Appendix A contains all the wiring diagrams, assembly drawings, and mechanical informa-
tion necessary to install the amplifiers. The amplifier package should be mounted in a
clean, dry enclosure, free of dust, oil, or other contaminants.
NEVER INSTALL THE AMPLIFIER PACKAGE IN ANY LOCATION WHERE
FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE VAPORS ARE PRESENT.
IMPORTANT:Muffin fan(s) are mounted along one side of the baseplate to provide
cooling. At least 3 inches must be allowed between the fan side and the side opposite the
fans and any other surface. The clearance to any other side of the amplifier package is not
critical, although sufficient space should be allowed for easy wiring and servicing.
4.3 Wiring:
4.3.1 RFI/EMI and Wiring Technique:
IMPORTANT: All PWM equipment inherently generates radio-frequency interfer-
ence (RFI), and wiring acts as antennae to transmit this interference. In addition,
motors inherently generate electromagnetic interference (EMI). Unless the wiring is
very short, some sort of shielding on the motor wires is necessary to meet FCC
RFI/EMI guidelines and to protect other equipment from the effects of RFI/EMI. We
recommend that shielded wire be used, or the wires should be run in metallic conduit.
The shield or conduit should be connected to the amplifier baseplate, which in turn
must be earth grounded. In addition, a conductor of the same gauge as the motor
wires must be connected from the motor case to the amplifier baseplate to provide
protection from shock hazard. The earth grounding is necessary to meet National
Electrical Code (NEC) requirements as well as suppressing RFI/EMI.
Additional RFI suppression may be obtained by placing inductors in each motor lead
near the amplifier. Consult a Glentek applications engineer for inductor recommen-
dations. Glentek stocks a complete line of inductors for virtually every application.
IMPORTANT: The signal wiring to hall-sensors and encoder, and the signal inputs
to the amplifier are susceptible to noise pickup. Excessive noise pickup will cause
erratic amplifier operation. We urge that each signal input be run in a twisted-pair,
shielded cable. The hall-sensor signal lines and the encoder signal lines should be
CHAPTER FOUR: INSTALLATION

15GLENTEK Inc., 208 Standard Street, El Segundo, California 90245, U.S.A. [phone]
SMA8730
run in a three twisted-pair, shielded cable. In each case the shield should be
terminated at the amplifier end only to a common terminal. We also recommend that
the signal lines be kept as far as possible from any power or motor wires.
4.3.2 Wire Size and Type:
IMPORTANT: To ensure safe operation, Glentek strongly recommends that all
wiring conform to all local and national codes.
Recommended Wire Size and Type:
Motor Wires: 12AWG, shielded.
Motor Case Ground: Same as motor wires, or use metallic conduit.
Main Power: Same as motor wires.
Signal Input: 22AWG, twisted-pair, shielded.
Logic Inputs/Outputs: 22AWG, shielded with its return lead.
External Tachometer: 22AWG, twisted-pair, shielded.
Hall Sensors : 22AWG, three twisted-pairs, over-all shielded.
Encoder : 22AWG, three twisted-pairs, over-all shielded.

Chapter Five: Configuration
5.1 Introduction:
Each amplifier has several configuration options. This chapter describes these options and
how to implement them. If desired, Glentek will be happy to pre-configure your amplifiers.
NOTE: Each amplifier module is configured and shipped according to the model
number (instructions to construct a model number is in chapter three) when the
order is placed. It is important for the user to realize that any adjustment on the
dip-switches by the user will result in discrepancies between the model number
and the actual configuration of the amplifier.
5.2 Logic Input Configuration:
There are five logic inputs: Limit +, Limit -, Inhibit, Reset In, Motor Temp. The first four may
be configured for active-high or active-low signals, and pulled-up or pulled-down termina-
tion (type A, B, C, and D). The motor-temp may be configured for active-high or active-low
signals, and is always pulled-up (type A, and C). All five logic inputs have a selectable 0 to
+5VDC or 0 to +15VDC range.
Type "A": Requires grounding of input to disable the amplifier (pull-up, active-low).
Type "B": Requires a positive voltage at input to disable the amplifier (pull-down, active-
high).
Type "C": Requires grounding of input to enable the amplifier (pull-up, active-high).
Type "D": Requires a positive voltage at input to enable the amplifier (pull-down, active-
low).
5.3 Encoder to Sine Mode Amplifier Configuration:

This switch should remain off unless instructed to turn on by a Glentek engineer.
5.3.4 Tach - Reverse Configuration (Default: S1-5=ON):
The tachometer reverse switch is turned ON to reverse the spinning direction of the
motor or prevent the motor from running away in case of incorrect polarity of the
feedback signal.
5.3.5 Motor- Reverse Configuration (Default: S1-4=OFF):
The motor reverse switch is turned ON to reverse the spinning direction of the motor
for both current and velocity mode. It can also solve the problem when a motor is
running away by reversing the polarity of the motor leads without physically revers-
ing the motor leads.
5.3.6 Coarse Balance (Default: S1-3=OFF):
Occasionally it is necessary to turn the coarse balance switch ON to extend the
range of the balance pot due to various offsets in the external signal.
