5.3. Typical Connections for Q3
This section describes the typical connections used for to connect the BB01 plant to the Q3 data-
acquisition / power amplifier board. The connections are described in detail in the procedure below and
summarized in Table 5.
Follow these steps to connect the BB01 system:
1. It is assumed that the Quanser Q3 board is already installed as discussed in the Reference [4].
2. Make sure everything is powered off before making any of these connections. This includes
turning off your PC and the Q3.
3. Connect the 4-pin-stereo-DIN to 6-pin-stereo-DIN from
PWM Output #0
on the Q3 to the
Motor
connector on the SRV02. See cable #2 shown in Figure 16 and Figure 19. The cable
transmits the controlled current that is applied to the SRV02 motor and is denoted
I
m
.
4. If the SRV02 has the -E option then the encoder can be used to measure the load shaft angle.
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 Q3 board, as depicted by connection #3
in Figure 16,
5. Connect the
Ball Position Sensor
connector on the BB01 to the
Sensor 1
socket on the
Q3
Analog 2:1 Buffer
box using the 6-pin-mini-DIN to 6-pin-mini-DIN cable. This connection is
labeled #6 in Figure 17 and Figure 20. It carries the measured ball position from the beam
potentiometer and is denoted by the variable
x
.
Remark 1
: Ensure the BB01 sensor is passed through the Q3
Analog 2:1 Buffer
box.
Otherwise the measured ball position signal will contain jitter and make the experiment
difficult to control.
Remark 2
: Make sure the switch on the
Q3 Analog 2:1 Buffer
box is set to the downward
“Secondary Sensor” position when using the BB01.
6. If the SS01 remote sensor module (shown in Figure 3) will be used to command the ball
position, then connect the
Ball Position Sensor
connector on the SS01 to the
Sensor 2
socket
on the
Q3 Analog 2:1 Buffer
box socket using the 6-pin-mini-DIN to 6-pin-mini-DIN cable.
This connection is labeled #7 in Figure 18 and Figure 20. It carries the measured ball position
from the remote beam potentiometer and is denoted by the variable
x
d
.
7. Connect the
To Q3
connector on the
Q3 Analog 2:1 Buffer
box to the
Analog Input
connector
on the Q3 using the 6-pin-mini-DIN to 6-pin-mini-DIN cable. This connection is labeled #8 in
Figure 19 and Figure 20. It carries the conditioned measured ball position from the beam
