Operation of the Servo Control
3.1 Command
The user can change the default scale of the differential input (±10.0V) by calculating and inserting R5 & R6 into the designated solderless terminals. The value of theses resistors is given by:
KohmsVRR MAXIN
)(*5.265
The factory default values of R5 and R6 are 25Kohms. This value is for ±10V command input.
Care must be taken not to apply input voltage above the maximum input voltage as this will cause the input op amp to operate beyond its limits and in extreme cases may even damage the op amp. The maximium voltage is calculated by:
8.0*)(5)( KohmsRV MAXIN
3.2 CFM
The amplifier is equipped with Current Feedback Multiplier (CFM). By switching S2 to the ON position the signal of the current feedback is multiplied by 2 and consequently the following changes occur:
Current gains are divided by 2.
Current monitor is multiplied by 2.
Current limits are divided by 2.
This function should be activated whenever the rated current AND the peak current of the motor are less than 50% of the amplifier rated continuous and peak limits respectively.

3.3 Current Gain Control (CGC)
The amplifier is equipped with Current Gain Control (CGC) for improved performance of low induction motors. By switching S3 to the ON position the gain of the current loop is reduced, thus enabling the use of low inductance motors without the insertion of an additional inductor. The default (S3 OFF) is high gain. Switching S3 to the ON position reduces the proportional gain (P) of the current loop by approx. 70%. In the following table, minimum inductance values can be calculated.

3.6 Latch Mode
By setting S4 to the ON position, whenever one of the following failures: Short, and Over Temperature occur the amplifier will be latched in Disable mode. Disabling the amplifier (removing the power from the Enable pins J4/13 and J4/14) resets the latch. If the amplifier is enabled by S6, switch S6 off then back on.
3.7 Enable
Pins J4/13 and J4/14 are the inputs of an opto-coupler. The opto-coupler must be energized to enable the operation of the amplifier. If the Enable input is kept High before powering the amplifier, the amplifier power output will be active immediately upon power on.
To enable the operation of the amplifier the opto must be “on”. This can be done in two ways:
1. Apply voltage between this J4 pin 13(+) and J4 pin 14 (-).
Minimum “ON” voltage: 5V, current consumption 1.2 ma.
Maximum “ON” voltage: 15V, current consumption 5 ma.
When operating in this mode Dipswitch 6 must be in the OFF position.
2. Set Dip switch 6 to the ON position and connect "EN-" (pin 14) to ECLRET (pin 7).

3.8 Limit switches
When one direction of rotation is disabled, the reference input is clamped to 0V in this direction. Please be aware that the unit can still drift due to offset. If an absolute stop is critical to the application the controller of the machine should also handle the switch.
3.8.1 FLS
To enable the operation of the amplifier in the forward direction the FLS opto must be “on”. This can be done by either of two methods:
1. Applying voltage between this J4 pin 8(+) and J4 pin 10 (-).
Minimum “ON” voltage: 5V, current consumption 1.6 ma.
Maximum “ON” voltage: 15V, current consumption 5.6 ma.
When using with this mode Dipswitch 5 must be in OFF position.
2. Changing Dipswitch 5 to ON position.
3.8.2 RLS
To enable the operation of the amplifier in the reverse direction the RLS opto must be “on”. This can be done by either of two methods:
1. Applying voltage between this J4 pin 9(+) and J4 pin 10 (-).
Minimum “ON” voltage: 5V, current consumption 1.6 ma.
Maximum “ON” voltage: 15V, current consumption 5.6 ma.
When using with this mode Dipswitch 5 must be in OFF position.
2. Changing Dipswitch 5 to ON position.
Note: Changing dipswitch 5 to the ON position bypasses both directional limit switches
3.9 Velocity Mode
In the velocity mode, op amps U1/2 are employed as a high gain error amplifier. The amplifier sums velocity command and the velocity feedback signal, and provides the necessary servo compensation and gain adjustments, resulting in stable, optimum servo operation.
This op amp is configured with two feedback paths:
One, in the form of a resistive T network, controls the DC gain of this amplifier. The equivalent value of a T network is given by:
10
Rf
10
=
Resistor R7 is mounted in solderless terminals so it can be changed easily whenever the DC gain of the error amplifier is to be changed. The AC gain is controlled by C1, R8 and P3. Maximum AC gain is obtained with P3 set fully CCW. Setting P3 fully CW removes AC gain and no lag in response occurs. R8 and C1 are mounted in soldering terminals and can be easily replaced in cases when P3 range is not enough to get optimum response.
Page 16

3.9.1 Tachometer feedback
When using Tachometer feedback the user must select the scale for the differential input by calculating and inserting R1 & R2 into the designated solderless terminals. The value of theses resistors is given by:
*5.221
VTM = maximum Tachometer voltage at the differential Input.
Care must be taken not to apply input voltage above the maximum input voltage as this will cause the input op amp to operate beyond its limits and in extreme cases may even damage the op amp. The maximium voltage is calculated by:
8.0*)(1)( KohmsRV MAXIN
Note: 1) * When using Tachometer feedback R3 must be Inserted (R3 value is 0 to 100 ohm).
* Dipswitch 1 must be in OFF position.
2) When using Armature feedback R3 must be removed.
KohmsVRR TM
3.9.2 Armature Feedback
An internal differential amplifier with fixed gain is used for armature feedback. The gain of this circuit is set for the maximum voltage of the VIO. If the adjustment range of the potentiometer P1 does not provide enough gain, the armature signal can be externally connected like a tachometer. When this is done, calculate R1&2 using the DC bus voltage for VTM. This should only be required when the bus voltage is near the minimum operating voltage of the VIO. To activate Armature feedback change S1 to the ON position and remove resistor R3.
3.9.3 I*R Compensation
In order to improve the speed stability in various load conditions, I*R compensation is required. This is achieved by inserting R4. The value of R4 can be achieved empirically.
The following procedure should be performed to determine R4 empirically:
a) Connect a decade resistor box in the terminals of R4 - start with 3Mohm
b) Run the motor at 2/3 of nominal speed.
c) Apply nominal load.
d) Decrease resistance value until motor speed reaches the no load speed.
e) Install R4 as close as possible to the decade box value. R4 should be between 500K and
3Mohms.
Note: A high compensation may result in unstable operation of the amplifier.
Page 17
Elmo Motion Control Rev 09/09 VIO-Velocity - Operating Manual
3.10 Response Adjustment (Velocity Mode Only)
In most applications optimum response is achieved by adjusting the compensation (COMP) trimmer. Adjustment procedure is as follows:
- Provide the amplifier with a low frequency, bi-directional square wave velocity command (A 0.5Hz,
±2V waveform is often employed).
- Apply power to the amplifier, and while monitoring the tachometer signal, gradually adjust the COMP trimmer from the CCW toward the CW position. Optimum response (critically-damped) should be achieved at some position before reaching full CW on P3. Fig 8.1 illustrates the types of waveforms observed for various setting of P3.
In some applications, especially those where the load inertia is much smaller or larger than normally encountered, the standard compensation components values of 0.022µF for C1 and 475Kohm for R8 may not allow an optimum setting of the COMP trimmer P3. In fact, the velocity loop may be unstable for any setting of P3.
In these cases different values for C1 and R8 must be chosen. The following procedure can be used to select these values:
a) - Replace C1 with a short jumper wire.
b) - Replace R8 with a decade resistance box. Initially set the box resistance at 20Kohm.
c) - Set P3, the COMP trimmer to approximately midrange.
d) - Input a 0.5Hz, 2V bi-directional square wave velocity command signal to the amplifier.
e) - Apply power, and while monitoring the tachometer signal, gradually increase the value of
the box resistance until optimum response as depicted in Fig 8.1 is achieved.
f) - Substitute the closest standard value discrete resistor for R8 and remove the decade
resistance box.
g) Remove the shorting jumper, install C1, and again check the response using the square wave
test signal. If near optimum results are obtained, trim the response using the COMP trimmer P3 for the optimum.
h) - If the previous step does not yield satisfactory results, if unacceptable overshooting has been
noted, substitute a larger value than 0.022µµµµF; or, if the response is over damped substitute a smaller value than 0.022µµµµF. Repetition of this procedure should yield an optimum choice for C1.

3.11 Current Mode
In order to operate the servo amplifier as a current amplifier, the velocity loop should be disabled. This is done by converting the error amplifier into a low gain DC amplifier that has a flat response beyond the desired current bandwidth. To run the VIO-V in current mode:
Set S1 to OFF Remove R3 (in solderless terminals) Remove R4 (in solderless terminals) Remove R7 (in solderless terminals) Remove C1 (in solderless terminals)
When operating in current mode the user adjustments are command scaling, CFM, CGC, and offset.

Mounting and wiring instructions
4.1 Heat Sink Mounting
The VIO series dissipates its heat by natural convection for loads up to 500W. For higher output loads the amplifier should be mounted on an additional heat sink or cooled by fan. Care should be taken that the motor leads are as short as possible. The capacitance of long shielded motor leads can cause the amplifier to generate a significant amount of heat. There are two 4.5mm holes in the base plate for mounting to an additional heat sink (see Figure 5).

4.3 DC power supply
DC power supply can be at any voltage in the range defined within the technical specifications. The supply source must comply with the safety aspects of the relevant requirements in accordance with the most recent version of the standard EN60950 or equivalent Low Voltage Directive Standard, all according to the applicable over voltage Category. If the power source to the power supply is the AC line (through a transformer), safety margins have to be considered to avoid activating the under/over voltage protection due to line variations and/or voltage drop under load. In addition to the above, the transformer must comply with the safety aspects of the relevant requirements in accordance with the most recent version of the standard EN60742 (Isolating and Safety Isolating Transformers). The nominal DC bus voltage should be in the following range:

Table 9: Recomended Capacitance
The transformer power should be calculated to have the capability to deliver power to the amplifier (including peak power), without significant voltage drops. The power supply should be located as close as possible to the amplifier. Maximum distance is 30cm (1 foot). While driving high inertia loads, the power supply must be equipped with a shunt regulator, otherwise, the amplifier will be disabled whenever the capacitors are charged above the maximum voltage.

Table 10: Diagnostic LED’s
Note: Latch mode OFF: The LED indications are present only while the fault is active. Latch mode ON: The LED's indications (temperature and short) are reset when the enable
signal is removed from the enable input.
Multiple Faults: Only the reading of the first fault is reliable. Additional faults add to the
status and the indication will be meaningless
