Drive CE Requirements
CE requires you to use an EMI line filter, installed as shown in the following figure.
Figure 3.
An EMI Line Filter
If you plan to use a regulated power supply you may encounter a problem with regeneration. If
you rapidly decelerate a load from a high speed, much of the kinetic energy of that load is
transferred back to the power supply. This can trip the overvoltage protection of a switching
power supply, causing it to shut down. NI offers the SMD-7700 regeneration clamp to solve this
problem. If in doubt, buy an SMD-7700 for your first installation. If the regen LED on the
SMD-7700 never flashes, you don’t need the clamp.
Choosing a Power Supply
When choosing a power supply, there are many things to consider. If you are manufacturing
equipment that will be sold to others, you probably want a supply with all the safety agency
approvals. If size and weight are an issue, get a switching supply.
And you must decide what size of power supply (in terms of voltage and current) is needed for
your application.
National Instruments offers two power supplies that are excellent matches for the
NI SMD-7611/7612 drive: PS-12 24V, 6.3A) and PS-13 (48V, 6.7A).
