Figure 13 "To Analog-To-Digital" Cable
5-pin-DIN
to
4xRCA
This cable carries the analog signals,
unchanged, from the UPM
to the Digital-To-
Analog input channels on the data
acquisition terminal board.

5.2. Typical Connections for UPM
This section describes the typical connections used for to connect the BB01 plant to a data-acquisition
board and a power amplifier. The connections are described in detail in the procedure below and
summarized in Table 4.
Follow these steps to connect the BB01 system:
1. It is assumed that the Quanser Q4 or Q8 board is already installed as discussed in the Reference
[1]. If another data-acquisition device is being used, e.g. NI M-Series board, then go to its
corresponding documentation and ensure it is properly installed.
2. Make sure everything is powered off before making any of these connections. This includes
turning off your PC and the UPMs.
3. Connect the 5-pin-DIN to RCA cable from the
Analog Output Channel #0
on the terminal
board to the
From D/A
Connector on the Quanser Universal Power Module, or UPM. See cable
#1 shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15. This carries the attenuated motor voltage control signal,
V
m
/K
a
, where K
a
is the UPM amplifier gain.
4. Connect the 4-pin-stereo-DIN to 6-pin-stereo-DIN that is labeled
Gain 1
from
To Load
on the
UPM to the
Motor
connector on the SRV02.
See connection #2 shown in Figure 15 and Figure
This cable sets the gain of the amplifier to 1 and the connector on the UPM-side is black in
colour. The cable transmits the amplified voltage that is applied to the SRV02 motor and is
denoted
V
m
.
5. Connect the 5-pin-stereo-DIN to 5-pin-stereo-DIN cable from the
Encoder
connector on the
SRV02 panel to
Encoder Input # 0
on the terminal board, as depicted by connection #3 in
Figure 14 and Figure 16. This carries the load shaft angle measurement and is denoted by the
variable
θ
l
.
CAUTION:
Any encoder should be directly connected to the Quanser terminal board (or
equivalent) using a standard 5-pin DIN cable.
DO NOT connect the encoder cable to the
UPM!
