Version: 1.1.0
PZ247E
P-63x Nanopositioner
NOTICE
Operating voltage too high or incorrectly connected!
Operating voltages that are too high or incorrectly connected can cause damage to the P-63x.
Operate the P-63x only with controllers/drivers and original accessories from PI.
Do
not
exceed the operating voltage range (p. 34) specified for the P-63x.
Operate the P-63x only when the operating voltage is properly connected; refer to "Pin
Assignment" (p. 36).
NOTICE
Uncontrolled oscillation!
Oscillation can cause irreparable damage to the P-63x. Oscillation is indicated by a humming
noise and can be caused by the following:
A change in the load and/or dynamics requires the servo control parameters to be
adjusted.
The P-63x is operated close to its resonant frequency, or with too high operating
frequency.
If you notice oscillation:
In closed-loop operation, switch off the servo mode immediately.
In open-loop operation, stop the P-63x immediately.
INFORMATION
The positive direction of motion is in the opposite direction of the cable exit.
INFORMATION
Sound and vibration (e.g., footfall, knocks) can be transmitted to the P-63x and can affect its
performance with regard to position stability.
Avoid sound and vibration while the P-63x is being operated.
