INTRODUCTION
The Quad H-Bridge High Power Drive is a 3U-size amplifier designed to drive DC brushed type motors.
This amplifier provides four 520W continuous PWM amplifiers. The Quad H-Bridge High Power Drive
may be interfaced conveniently to the PMAC controller via ACC-24E2A. The maximum bus voltage for
this amplifier is 65VDC and the continuous rating for each drive is 8A.
The amplifiers on this product will output current proportional to the voltage input. The product was
designed to be used with torque or current command inputs from the controller, but if the controller has
microstepping capabilities, the product can be used to drive stepper motors.
Power Supply Considerations
The Quad H-Bridge High Power Drive requires a single power supply of +15V to +65Vmax. The current
requirement can vary depending on the load, but should not exceed 32A continuous and 48A peak for a
one-second period: i.e. 12A peak per channel. A slow blow 5A fuse is installed for the shunt and a fast
acting 30A fuse for the main bus.
The bus power supply can be provided to the amplifier unit through Amplifier Backplane board or
through the TB3 and TB4 terminal connectors located on the amplifier unit.
The amplifier receives its logic power supply (±15V) from an external power supply or the 3U power
supply used for a UMAC system via the Amplifier Backplane board (part number 603490 or 603470, see
last section of this manual).
If the amplifier is driven beyond its rated power, driver overheating may occur. In this event, the driver
will output a fault signal on the corresponding pin of the terminal block 2, TB2, and turn on the
corresponding red LED next to Terminal Block 1, TB1, shown in Diagram.
Note:
The bus voltage should be completely separate from PMAC analog ground.
Current Mode Considerations
The Quad H-Bridge High Power Drive is a current amplifier with a fixed current gain 1.25A/V. This
means that the ± 10V signal input from each DAC on the J1 connector corresponds to ±12A of current
across the load, provided that the bus supply voltage is not exceeded.
Note:
If the amplifier is driving a DC motor at high speeds, the current supply to the
motor may be reduced if the back emf voltage of the motor is sufficiently large
(refer to the motor manufacture's data sheet).
Amplifier-Enable/Fault Polarity Selection
The controller (PMAC) should be configured for low-true amplifier-enable signals. A green LED next to
Terminal Block 1 (TB1) for each amplifier on the Quad H-Bridge is lit when the board is receiving power
and that amplifier is enabled.
Also, if the amplifier fault signal is fed back to PMAC, bit 23 (the most significant bit) of Ix25 should be
set to zero for "Low True" fault input. The red LED for each channel is lit when the amplifier faults
(overheats).

Torque/Velocity Control
For direct torque or velocity control, the following I-variables may be adjusted as part of the motor
software setup (Example for PMAC1-Turbo):
Ixx00 Set to 1 to activate motor.
Ixx02 Motor xx Command Output Address. For example: I102=$078003 to use DAC1 with motor 1.
Ixx03 Motor xx Position Loop Feedback Address. For example: I103=$3501 to use Encoder 1.
Ixx04 Motor xx Velocity Loop Feedback Address. For example: I104=$3501 to use Encoder 1.
Ixx24 Set motor xx Flag Mode Control. For example: I124=$100001 to specify high-true fault input.
Ixx25 Set motor xx Flag Address. For example: I125=$078000 to specify channel 1 flags.
Ixx69 Set motor xx Output Command Limit.
Refer to the Turbo PMAC/PMAC2 Software Reference Manual for a full description of these I-variables.

ANALOG AMPLIFIER BACKPLANE BOARD
The analog amplifier backplane board allows easy access to power the Quad H-Bridge amplifier units
when placed in the 3U racks. The amplifier backplane boards come in two options: Single amplifier 2slot assemblies or a dual amplifier 4-slot assemblies. The board itself has terminal screws for the external
bus, external shunt resistors, a Molex connector for the logic power, and another Molex connector for the
cooling fans.
