2.0 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
2.1 EL Series Actuator System Configurations
EL Series actuators incorporate an integral brushless servo motor.
The design of this motor and selection of the proper feedback
configuration allows EL Series actuators to be powered by nearly
every brand of brushless motor amplifier on the market that powers
brushless motors with resolver feedback.
The schematic below shows the typical connections for a single
axis system with an EL actuator and servo amplifier.
Each brand of brushless motor amplifiers may have unique wiring
requirements, parameter settings and operational principles that
affect how the actuator operates. Details on connections can be
obtained from Exlar applications engineering.
Never attempt to connect or disconnect the actuator
with power applied. Dangerous voltages are present.
Damage to equipment and injury to personnel can result. Many
amplifiers have voltage present for a considerable time period
after incoming power is removed. Take care to insure that the
amplifier has discharged all power.
