2.1 General Information
The series R amplifiers (= resolver) are servo amplifiers for speed control of brushless
servo motors. They extract the information for the sine commutation of the motor and for the
speed feedback from the signals of the resolver, attached to the motor. In addition to that,
incremental encoder signals are simulated by these signals. This allows the realization of
favorable solutions for a large range of applications with low and medium power levels.
The amplifiers work with a pulse-width modulated power amplifier in MOSFET technique.
The design is a 3 HE (Euroformat) for 19" slide-in racks. These devices hav e an integrated
power supply unit. The electronics is supplied internally from the intermediate circuit
voltage, which also allows a battery -powered operation.
The main characteristics are:
• Sine commutation
• Hybrid technique/ SMD technology
• 19 inch/3HE slide-in technique
• Internal power supply unit
• High dynamics
• High efficiency
• Almost no clock noise by doubling of the current frequency

2.3 Principle of the Amplifier
Current Controlle
r
The three-phase servo amplifiers of Series TBF are based on the principle of the speed
control with secondary current control loop. In addition to that the current-mode logic
controls the commutation of the electronically commutated servo amplifier (bru shless). The
signal flow of this functional group is shown in the following figure.

Figure 1: Principle of the Amplifier
The speed control loop consists of speed controller, circuit, motor and speed
measurement. The nominal speed value is externally given, e.g. through potentiometer, NC
control or something similar. The actual speed value is determined at the motor shaft by a
resolver. The difference between nominal value and actual value is formed at the summing
point and transmitted to the speed controller. The speed controller then defines the
required current set value.
The current control loop consists of the current controllers, the amplifier stage, the current
measurement and the motor windings. The current set values available at the output of the
current controller, control the six power switches of the inverter through a pulse-width
modulator. With a PWM frequency of 9.5kHz this leads, due to the special activation, to a
current ripple of 19kHz and consequently to a merely audible clock noise.
This secondary control loop (current) under another one (speed) guarantees a stable
control with good dynamics and high rigidity of the drive. This even allows the easy
realization of current limitations, necessary to protect the motor and the amplifier, just by
limiting the output voltage of the speed controller (current set value).

2.4 Block diagram
Figure 2: Block Diagram

2.5 Function Description
The function of the amplifier is described by means of the block diagram shown in Figure
2.
2.5.1 Power Supply
• Power amplifier:
Rectification and filtering form the direct voltage (intermediate circuit voltage UB),
necessary to operate the power amplifier, from the AC power supply. This
intermediate circuit voltage can also be fed directly as d.c. voltage.
• Electronic supply
The electronic supply takes place internally through a switched-mode power supply
from the intermediate circuit voltage.
2.5.2 Control Sy stem
• Speed controller and current limiting
The nominal speed value can be fed through the input differential amplifier. In the
stage connected on load side the positive and negative set values are suppressed
separately (limit switch logic). The speed set value, conditioned by this way, is then
injected to the speed controller. The inverted tachometer voltage, injected to the speed
controller, in this device, is gained from the resolver signals, by means of a
corresponding procedure. The current set value is then available at the output of the
speed controller.
There are different possibilities to limit the nominal current: The I
The actual current values are rectified, quadrated and run to a low pass. The circuit
limits the current to the continuous current value, which corresponds to the position of
the potentiometer P5, when the output voltage of the low pass reaches the voltage,
adjusted at this potentiometer. Furthermore, the maximum possible nominal current
can be adjusted to 0...15A, 0...25A or 0...18A with an externally fed voltage of 0...10V
at the input I ext.
The maximum pulse current, deliverable by the device can be adjusted with the
potentiometer P2 of the internal current limiting. This current limiting is connected on
load side of the previously mentioned current limitations - this guarantees that the
current adjusted here, can never by exceeded.
2
t current limiting reduces the current set value, using the following procedure:
8
• Current-mode control and current controller
As shown in the block diagram, the current-mode control must be passed through first,
to form the actual current set value for the current controller of the U-conductor current
and of the V-conductor current. The nominal current of the speed controller output
(conductor curren t) is converted, depending on signals of the resolver, in two current
set values with an offset of 120º and fed to the current controllers for the phases U and
V. The nominal current of the third phase W is imitated by subtraction at the outputs of
the current controller. This guarantees, that the sum of the currents is always zero.
The pulse-width modulator generates from the three d.c. voltage signals for the
conductor currents six PWM signals, which serve for activating the driver stage after
the creation of the lag time.
2.5.3 Driver stage and power amplifier
The driver stage amplifies the signals, coming from the pulse-width modulator and by this
activates the power transistors. MOSFET transistors are used in the power amplifier, which
allows short switching intervals and low residual voltage drop and ensures a good
efficiency.
2.5.4 Monitoring and Fault Logic, Enable
The intermediate circuit voltage and the current in the intermediate circuit are permanently
monitored by the error detection. The device switches off the motor through the error logic
when these values exceed certain quantities. The error logic also reacts when the device
temperature exceeds the allowed values because of insufficient air circulation or a too high
ambient temperature. Restart is possible only after switch -off and switch-on of the supply
voltage.
Now the power amplifier can be enabled at the enable input with an external voltage, the
motor turns.
9
For safety reasons enable is possible only when the device is ready for
operation! This avoids that the motor starts running in an uncontrolled
manner when applying the operating voltage while the enable signal is
!
already applied.
That means a permanent wired connection of e.g. +24V after the enable
input ensures that the motor will not start running when switching on the
operating voltage.
The logic also switches off in case of undervoltage in the intermediate circuit
and undervoltage of the electronic voltages. The device changes to
readiness only when the minimum voltages, necessary for a safe operation,
are available.
The motor slows down and enable is disabled if an undervoltage of the
electronic supply occurs during the operation. If there is an undervoltage in
the intermediate circuit the motor slows down and starts running when the
minimum voltage is exceeded.
10
2.6 Function as Current Controller
In the case the device was not ordered as current controller, the adjustment ex factory is
"Speed control".
In some applications it may be useful to operate the TBF amplifier as a pure current
controller, because a torque control is desired or the speed controller in the master control
is already realized.
To set the amplifier to current control or speed control set the three soldering jumpers JP9,
JP10 and JP11 (see figure) as follows:
JP9.1 to JP9.2 JP10.1 to JP10.2 JP11.1 to JP11.2
Speed control closed closed open
Current control open open closed
Numbering of the soldering jumpers is as follows: e.g. for JP9: JP9.1= right field of the
soldering jumper, JP9.2= left field of the soldering jumper.

3.3 Wiring
A careful wiring is absolutely necessary to guarantee a troublefree operation of the servo
amplifier!
The control line for the servo amplifier, the signal lines of the motor and the motor lines are
to be wired separately.
See also ÑMeasures for an installation in conformity to the EMC directive.
3.3.1 Protective Earth Terminal
Power GND (ST1 26z,b,d) must be connected with the protective earth terminal. Control
unit and amplifier must have an equal potential. The equalized potential must be realized by
a single connection between control unit and amplifier (ST1 26z,b,d). This connection
should be a sufficiently strong line. The conductor cross section should at least correspond
to that of the motor line, however, should not be smaller than 1.5mm2. As in the amplifier
Power GND (ST1 26z,b,d), GND (ST1 18z and ST1 16z) and GND-REF (ST1 4z) are
connected, no further terminal must be connected with control GND, to avoid ground loops.
3.3.2 Resolver Cable
The resolver cable must be shielded. The pairs S1/S3, S2/S4 and R1/R2 must be twisted.
The shorter the twist, the better it is. Each pair has to be shielded separately within the total
shield (see 3.5). The internal shields are to be connected to connector ST2 with ST2.6,
ST2.7, ST2.8, the external shield is to be connected to the connector housing. Connection
of the shields on the side of the motor is not allowed, and not to the connector housing
either, as otherwise interference currents of the motor winding may be discharged through
this shield, which would partly wreck the shielding effect (ground loops).
3.3.3 The Line Cable of the Motor
The power supply of the motor, that means the actual motor cable, has to consist of four
stranded cores (U1,V1,W1,PE). The shorter the twist, the better it is. In order to minimize
interference emission, you have to use a shielded cable. The shield must be connected
with a low inductance to POWER GND (26z,b,d). On the motor side the shield has to be
connected to the motor housing via the metallic connector housing. To guarantee a reliable
functioning of the protective function ground contact resistance (safety against contact of
the winding with the housing), the motor housing has to be connected with POWER GND
(26z,b,d).
21
3.3.4 Control Lines And Signal Lines Between Master Control Unit And
Amplifier
For the definition of the speed reference, the master control unit normally provides an
output of a digital/analogue converter. This output signal normally is measured against
ground or against reference voltage. The input at the amplifier is a differential input with set
value+ at 4d and set value- at 4b. The lines at these inputs have to be run to the control unit
in the same cable. This cable has to be shielded, with connection of the shield to the servo
amplifier and the control unit. Input+ of the TBF-R is connected to the set value output of the
master control unit. Input- of the TBF-R is connected to the reference point for the set value
output at the master control unit.
The lines I ext., Int.off, Ready output, Enable and Pos.Stop/Neg.Stop, if used, have to be
wired in a shielded cable as well. These lines are measured against ground, that means
the connection requested in 0. between TBF and master control unit is sufficient.
3.3.5 The Simulated Incremental Encoder Signals
The connection cable for the incremental encoder signals has to be shielded. The pairs
track A+/track A-, track B+/track B- and track I+/track I - have to be twisted, the shorter the
twist the better the interference immunity. Each pair is shielded separately within the total
shield (see 0). The shield has to be connected on amplifier side and control unit side.

3.5 Measures for an Installation in Compliance with the EMC
Directives
Because of the compact design of servo amplifiers, no complete noise suppression
measures are possible withou t modifying the design. Therefore the proposed measures
shall help to keep the EMC directive for the total system. These measures are necessary
only for the used inputs and outputs. In addition to that a single total interference
suppression of the mains lead of all electronic subassemblies, installed in the system, is
possible. This would lead to a cost reduction compared to single interference suppression.
In order to simplify the installation work, we offer a number of backplanes with integrated
interference suppression elements and connection boards for ring toridal -core
transformers with interference suppression elements too.
• Motor lines and control lines have to be wired as shielded lines in principle. Avoid
interferences and loops.
• All lines shall run in one direction only that means no wye connection, from the servo
amplifier via the mounting plate of the switch cabinet.
• The clearance between motor line, mains lead and control lines should be at least
20mm. Otherwise there is the risk of interference coupling.
• The shield of each cable has to be connected close by the servo amplifier with a
fastening clamp to the mounting plate of the switch cabinet. Please ensure a large
blank metallic contact surface. The shield of the motor line has to be connected on both
sides (the resolver line or the tachometer line only at one side) to the servo amplifier.
• The mains transformer has to be installed close by the servo amplifier. The secondary
line length of the transformer has to be as short as possible. Run the primary line of the
transformer twisted with a clearance of at least 50mm to all other lines.
• The slide-in rack of the servo amplifier has to show a good HF contact to the mounting
plate of the switch cabinet, provide for sufficient earthing of the sw itch cabinet.
• To earth the shieldings, the metallic armored screw joints have to be used. Run them
through the switch cabinet wall, with a good metallic contact to the wall.
• For EMC reasons. the shields of one connection line must always have contact on both
sides. Low -frequency circulating currents, however, may occur. These so-called hum
pick-ups are, for example, created by earthing on both sides and can be eliminated by
a capacitiv coupling of the shield, which consequently allows high frequency efficiency.
It is useful to carry out an EMC examination for the complete system, consisting of many
single components such as motor, servo amplifier, set value resolver, EMC filter, to
guarantee a troublefree operation in compliance with the CE directive.

4 Set-up
4.1 Connection
When the servo amplifier is used together with one of our motors, the connection does not
cause any problems. In 3.4 you will find the connection diagrams. Connect the motor power
contacts U, V, W, earth and shield as described there. The resolvers are also connected
as described in 3.4.
When using an auxiliary drive together with the servo amplifier TBF, we offer to
work out the correct connection diagram for you.
4.2 Presetting
Prior to set -up please read the chapters 1, 2, and 3.
For connecting the power amplifier and the motor sensors, the specifications
given in the connection diagrams 3.40 hav e to be strictly observed! Connecting
the motor "in any way" and to exchange two phase in case of wrong directional
run is not useful! We therefore offer to first check the capability of auxiliary
drives in -house.
• Connect the power amplifier to the motor (see 3.4 Figure 5/Figure 6)
• Connect the sensors of the motor (resolver) to the servo amplifier (see 3.4 Figure 5/
Figure 6)
• Connect the amplifier with the power supply (see 3.4 Figure 5/Figure 6)
• The factory configures the servo amplifier so our motors will reach 3000 rpm with 10V
setpoint default.
If you need other speed values or if this motor/amplifier combination is set up
for the first time, please proceed as follows.
Input potentiometer P1 five turns from left stop
Pulse current potentiometer P2 five turns from left stop
Amplification P3 Shipped adjustment by two turns
to the left

4.3 Switching On and Configuration
4.3.1 Procedure Until Amplifier is Enabled
Set enable input to logical 0!
Give a speed reference of 0V!
Switch on control unit and amplifier supply!
Release the brake of the motor, if available!
Set enable input to logical 1!
Turn P3 to the left, if the motor vibrates, until the vibration stops
4.3.2 Configuration of the Speed Controller Amplification
For the configuration of the amplification, the motor has to be coupled to load. Turn the
potentiometer P3 to the right until vibrations are noticeable, reduce the amplification
immediately by turning the potentiometer to the left until the oscillation stops and then turn it
tick more to the left.
4.3.3 Configuration of Pulse Current and Continuous Current
For a first set -up, where the currents have been reduced as described under 4.1, or when a
pulse current or continuous current, other than the preset values is required (see 2.2), the
configuration can be done as follows:
Measure the current at MP2. The scaling is to be found under 2.7.3. Proceed as follows to
load the motor in a way that it is operated to the pulse current and continuous current limits:
4.3.3.1 Pulse current
Move the motor with minimum speed to a mechanical stop and leave the set value at the
amplifier so that the motor still tries to move towards the stop. Neither limit switch, nor IAB
must be active
Turn P5 to the right stop and P2 to the left stop.
Use the potentiometer (P2) to increase the pulse current to the desired value.
Should the device reduce the continuous current before the adjustment is completed,
disable the amplifier and wait for a recovery time of 10 to 20 seconds then carry out the
configuration once again. Optimum values are often achieved after several repeated
adjustments.
28
4.3.3.2 Continuous Current
Leave P2 in the posit ion determined as described above, adjust P5 with five turns from left
stop.
Once again, move the motor with minimum speed to a mechanical stop and leave the set
value at the amplifier so that the motor still tries to move towards the stop. Neither limit
switch, nor IAB must be active.
After expire of the pulse current phase, the current is automatically reduced to the
continuous current, adjustable at P5. For adjusting P5, always turn slowly. After a short time
the new continuos current flows.
Adjustment becomes essentially easier when instead of the motor, three wye-connected
reactors are connected to the motor connections. The reactors should have a minimum
load inductance and a saturation current, that exceeds the maximum current of the
amplifier.
4.3.4 Setting the Maximum Motor Speed
The amplifier is set ex factory to a motor speed of max. = 3000 with 10V input voltage for
our motors. In order to reduce the maximum motor speed, turn the input potentiometer to
the left, to increase the motor speed turn it to the right.
4.3.5 Offset Adjustment of the Speed Regulator
The offset adjustment has to be carried out in a warm operating status of the device.
Define the set value zero (short-circuit the input). Adjust motor drift by setting P4 to zero.
29
5 Optimizing the Controller Response
5.1 Amplification setting of the current regulators
The adjustment a.c. amplification of the current regulators is done with the resistors R25
(standard 4.7kOhm) and R26 (standard 4.7kOhm) (see
Figure 16), where each resistor is part of a voltage divider. Smaller resistor values
increase the amplification. A response is seldom necessary here. Should, however, motors
with higher winding resistors are used, the motor heats up already in idle operation, as the
resistor of the winding, together with the inductance of the winding leads to high reactive
current.
Remedy is possible by increasing the amplification.
During the test stage, the fixed resistors can be replaced by potentiometers (25kOhm) and
in series production the values determined can be realized by fixed resistors.
Both resistors must have the same size. The accuracy must be 1% or higher.
For adjustment, increase the current amplification with low speed until an "oscillation”
becomes noticeable (a stronger motor noise starts with approx. 1kHz). Immediately reset
the amplification until the oscillation stops and a tick more.
5.2 Alternating Current Amplification of the Speed Controller
To adjust the amplification, couple the motor to load and define a set value of 0V. Turn the
potentiometer P3 to the right until the oscillation starts, immediately reset the amplification
until the oscillation (amplified motor noise because of rotary oscillation of the motor shaft
with approx. 200Hz) stops and a tick more.
5.3 Tachometer Filtering
The capacitor C21 is responsible for the tachometer filtering (see
Figure 16). When operating the drive with a three-phase tachometers a standard value of
22nF is enough. It allows a very good dynamic controller response.
30
5.4 Integral-Action Component of the Speed Controller
The capacitor C27 is responsible for the integral -action component of the speed controller
(see Figure 17).
The standard value of C27 is 220nF.
5.5 Direct Voltage Amplification of the Speed Controller
The resistor R71 is intended for modifying the static rigidity (see Figure 17). The rigidity
decreases with increasing resistor value. The standard value is 330Ohm.
5.6 Derivative-Action Component in the Tachometer Feedback
By inserting a resistor (R80) normally not provided with components and a capacitor (C25),
a differential action can be given for special requests to the control of the tachometer
feedback.

7.1 Ballast circuit
A ballast circuit is necessary when the regenerative energy from motor and load is larger
than the energy, which can be taken up by the filter electrolytic capacitors, until the
maximum voltage is reached.
Because of the relatively large capacitor in the power supply unit: the TBF60/5R normally
can do without a ballast circuit.
As for the TBF120/7R, the filter capacitor is only half as large and the voltage as well as the
current is higher, this device is normally provided with a ballast circuit of 35W continuous
power.
Should a braking causes the yellow LED (BALLAST) to light up and 8V can be measured
at MP4, an additional ballast circuit (or a ballast circuit at all) has to be used.
The following ballast circuits are available:
• The BS2/60 with 35W for the 60V device
• The BS2/120 with 80W and BS120/V with 125W for the 120V device
• The ballast threshold is 87V for the 60V device and 172V for 120V devices.
• For the determination of the braking power the following formula can be used:
