5. Connect a 4-pin-DIN to 6-pin-DIN cable from Amplifier 0
To Load (3x Amplifier Command)
connector, to the
Pitch Motor (D/A 0)
connector on the Quanser 3 DOF Hoverplant. This is illustrated by connection #3 in Figure
3.1.
6. Connect another 4-pin-DIN to 6-pin-DIN cable from the Amplifier 1
To Load (3x Amplifier Command)
connector,
to the
Yaw Motor (D/A 1)
connector on the Quanser 3 DOF Hoverplant. This is illustrated by connection #4 in
Figure 3.1.
7. Connect a 5-pin-stereo-DIN to 5-pin-stereo-DIN cable from the
Encoder 0
connector on the terminal board, to
the
Pitch Encoder (ENC 0)
connector on the Quanser 3 DOF Hoverplant. This is illustrated by connection #5
in Figure 3.1.
8. Connect another 5-pin-stereo-DIN to 5-pin-stereo-DIN cable from the
Encoder 1
connector on the terminal
board to the
Yaw Encoder (ENC 1)
connector on the Quanser 3 DOF Hoverplant. This is illustrated by con-
nection #6 in Figure 3.1.
Caution:
Encoders should be directly connected to the data acquisition device using a standard 5-pin
DIN cable. DO NOT connect the encoder cable to the amplifiers!
9. Connect the emergency stop switch to the E-Stop connector on the amplifier. This is illustrated by connection
#7 in Figure 3.1.
10. Connect the USB cable of the supplied joystick to a USB port on the PC. The system should detect the joystick
and automatically install the driver (you will be prompted). See the corresponding joystick User Manual for
more information on the setup procedure.
11. If your amplifier has a Gain setting switch,
make sure you set the amplifier Gain to 3 when using the
Quanser 3 DOF Hoverexperiment
.
12. Turn ON the rear power switch of the amplifier.
