Introduction Soloist CP
Chapter 1: Introduction
Aerotech’s Soloist CP (Compact PWM) network digital drive is a high performance amplifier. The drive
provides deterministic behavior, auto-identification, and easy software setup. The Soloist CP’s high
performance double precision floating point DSP controls the digital PID and current loops. All system
configuration is done using software-settable parameters, including control loop gains and system safety
functions.
The Soloist CP is offered with an optional encoder interpolation feature (-MXU), an auxiliary square wave
encoder input for dual loop control, dedicated analog and digital I/O (expandable with the -IO option), and
separate power connections for motor and control supply voltages.
