Intended Use
The electronics are a laboratory device as
dened by DIN EN 61010-1. They are intended
for indoor use and use in an environment which
is free of dirt, oil, and lubricants.
According to their design, the electronics are
intended for operang posioners with piezo
drive from PI.
The electronics may only be used in compliance
with the technical specicaons and instruc-
ons in this user manual. The user is responsib-
le for process validaon.
The electronics may only be installed, operated,
maintained, and cleaned by authorized and
appropriately qualied personnel.
Unpacking
The electronics contain electrostac-sensive
devices. Improper handling can damage the
electronics.
XDo not touch the contacts in the connec-
tors for the electronics.
Installing
Touching any conducve parts carrying line
voltage can result in serious injury or death
from electric shock.
XDo not open the electronics.
XPull the power plug for the electronics out
before replacing the replacing the fuses of
the electronics.
If a protecve earth conductor is not or not
properly connected, touching the electronics
can lead to death from electric shock or to seri-
ous injury in the case of a malfuncon.
XOperate the electronics only with a proper-
ly connected protecve earth conductor
XDo not remove the protecve earth
conductor form the electronics during
operaon.
XPay aenon to the applicable standards
for the protecve earth conductor connec-
on.
Connecng a posioner with an incompable
drive type to the electronics can cause irrepara-
ble damage to the posioner or the electronics.
Even posioners with mechanically compable
connectors may not be electrically compable
with the electronics.
XOnly connect compable posioners to the
electronics.
Unsuitable cables can cause damage to the
electronics and can aect the performance of
the posioner.
XUse original PI parts only.
High temperatures can cause the electronics to
overheat.
XSet up the electronics with a gap of at least
10 cm to the top and rear panels and at
least 5 cm to the sides. If this is not pos-
sible, make sure that the surroundings are
cooled suciently.
XEnsure sucient venlaon at the place of
installaon.
XKeep the ambient temperature at a noncri-
cal level (5 to 40 °C).
Systems consisng of mechanics and electro-
nics are calibrated at the factory to achieve
opmum performance. Replacing system
components will cause a loss in posioning
accuracy.
XPay aenon to each individual channel
assignment when connecng several posi-
oners to the electronics.
Starng and Operang
Thermal instability could reduce the perfor-
mance of the electronics directly aer they are
switched on.
XIf possible, switch on the electronics one
hour before using the system.
XMake sure that you can disconnect the
power plug from the mains at any me.

Analog Operaon
Requirements
✔The electronics are switched o.
✔There is no control signal at the Control
Input sockets or it is set to 0 V.
✔The DC OFFSET potenometers are set to 0.
Manual Control
Amplier (Open-Loop Operaon)
1. Switch the controller on.
If there is a display, the default screen
appears.
2. Command the posioner to move:
Apply a suitable input control signal to the
CONTROL INPUT (refer to manual) or us the
DC OFFSET potenometer.
Starng and Operang
Controller (Closed-Loop Operaon)
1. Proceed as follows for each channel:
a. If a control signal is connected to the
CONTROL INPUT socket, set it to 0 V.
b. If available: Turn the DC OFFSET poten-
ometer counterclockwise to 0.
c. Move the SERVO switch to the OFF
posion (open-loop operaon).
2. Switch the controller on. If there is a dis-
play, the default screen appears.
3. Move the SERVO switch of all channels to
the ON posion (closed-loop operaon).
4. Command the posioners to move:
Apply a suitable input control signal to the
CONTROL INPUT socket (see manual) or use
the DC OFFSET potenometer. The sengs
for the potenometer are added as oset
to the input control voltage.
5. If the Overow LED for the channel lights
up, adjust the sensor‘s zero point with the
ZERO potenometer unl the Overow LED
exnguishes.
Adjusng the sensor‘s zero point is neces-
sary if it has shied as a result of tempera-
ture changes or mechanical load and the
posioner is prevented from covering its
full travel range.
Operang with a PC
It is possible to control via a PC if the electro-
nics are equipped with a suitable interface such
as TCP/IP, USB, RS-232 or IEEE-488.
XFollow the instrucons in the manual for
the electronics.
