(Velocity Loop Integrator Capacitance) 

See SW4 table in Loop Tuning Switch Functions section for 

switch settings and corresponding capacitance values. 




Continuous Current Scaling. Configures the drive to set the 
continuous current limit at a percentage of the drive peak 
current limit. 

See Continuous Current Scaling Table below for switch 

settings and corresponding values. 



Peak and Continuous Current Scaling. Adjusts both the peak 
and continuous drive current limits. 

See Peak and Continuous Current Scaling Table below for 

switch settings and corresponding values.

Potentiometer Functions
 

Potentiometer 

Description 

Turning CW 

Loop gain adjustment for duty cycle / velocity modes. Turn this pot 
fully CCW in current mode. 

Increases gain 

Current limit. It adjusts both continuous and peak current limit 
while maintaining their ratio. 

Increases limit 

Reference gain. Adjusts the ratio between input signal and output 
variables (voltage, current, or velocity). 

Increases gain 

 

Offset / Test. Used to adjust any imbalance in the input signal or in 
the amplifier. Can also be used as an on-board signal source for 
testing purposes. 

 

Adjusts offset in negative direction 

Note: Potentiometers are approximately linear and have 12 active turns with 1 inactive turn on each end. Test points are provided on the drive PCB near each 
potentiometer to measure the potentiometer value.
