What motors can the system control?
The control hardware outputs a -10v to +10v dc control signal proportional the commanded motor speed. As a result, any motor/drive combination designed to accept such a signal is suitable. Specifically, this includes:
 |
AC 3-phase motors operated by flux-vector, sensorless vector, or volts/hertz inverters, |
|
DC-PM or shunt-wound motors with 4-quadrant SCR drives, or |
|
standard servo stepper motor/drive combinations. |
In any case, the hardware controller requires position feedback from the motor shaft (or elsewhere in the drive train) in the form of an incremental quadrature encoder.
