INTRODUCTION

The Delta Tau Data Systems, Inc. 4-axis Digital Amplifier (Quad Amp) is a highly compact digital amplifier and power supply, packaged together to provide four axes of bi-directional (four quadrant) torque control for a variety of AC or DC brushless or AC induction motors. All control parameters including switching frequency and dead time are determined by software set-up of the controller, not in the amplifier.

The Quad Amp is designed to work in conjunction with the Delta Tau PMAC2 motion controller, which supports up to eight axes of motion control. The PMAC2 delivers Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) on/off signals to the Quad Amp power transistors. The Quad Amp simply isolates and level-shifts these signals, at the required frequency and magnitude, to obtain the desired torque, velocity, and position.

All feedback is processed by the PMAC2. The Quad Amp measures motor phase currents, digitizes them, and transmits them back to PMAC2 as a serial data stream. Position feedback data is sent directly back to the PMAC2 via the Acc-8F Digital Interface Board. The Quad Amp does not use or require any position data.

Safety Summary

The following are general safety precautions not related to any specific procedures and therefore may not appear elsewhere in this publication. These are recommended precautions that personnel must understand, apply, and adhere to during the phases of installation, operation, and maintenance.

Keep Away from Live Circuits

Do not replace components or make adjustments inside equipment with power applied. Under certain conditions, dangerous potentials may exist when power has been turned off due to charges retained by capacitors. To avoid casualties, always remove power and allow 10 to 12 minutes for the bus capacitors to discharge before removing the cover.

Live Circuit Contact Procedures

Never attempt to remove a person from a live circuit with bare hands. To do so is to risk sure and sudden death. If a person is connected to a live circuit, the following steps should be taken:

•Call for help immediately

•De-energize the circuit, if possible.

•Use wooden or fiberglass hot stick to pull the person free of the circuit.

•Apply cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if the person has stopped breathing or is in cardiac arrest.

•Obtain immediate medical assistance.
