Figure 31. Leader-Follower Application
In this application, use a PCM4 to monitor the speed of the leader motor
(Figure 31). The PCM4 isolates the leader motor from the follower
drive, and outputs a voltage proportional to the leader motor armature
voltage. The follower drive uses this voltage reference to set the speed of
the follower motor. An optional ratio potentiometer may be used to scale
the PCM4 output voltage.
