Step 8b. Connect brushless motor for sinusoidal commutation

Please consult the factory before operating with sinusoidal commutation. Any controller within the distributed system may be configured for sinusoidal commutation. If a DMC-3415 is used, the second DAC is simply initiated with the BA command. If a DMC-3425 is used, it will control only a single brushless motor, but will take up two axes in configuration. When using sinusoidal commutation, the parameters for the commutation must be determined and saved in the controller’s non-volatile memory. The servo can then be tuned as described in Step 9.

Step A. Disable the motor amplifier

Use the command, MO, to disable the motor amplifiers. Step B. Connect the motor amplifier to the controller.

The sinusoidal commutation amplifier requires 2 signals, usually denoted as Phase A and Phase B. These inputs should be connected to the two sinusoidal signals
