ARES-G2 lower signal panel.
The table below contains information regarding the lower set of signal panel connectors.
Connector
Purpose
TORQUE IN
An external user input that can be connected to the internal torque measurement chan-
nel instead of the transducer torque signal. (User selectable.)
TORQUE OUT
Outputs a DC voltage that is proportional to transducer torque.
Scaling is ± 5.0 VDC = ± Full Scale Torque
NORMAL IN
An external user input that can be connected to the internal normal force measurement
channel instead of the transducer normal force signal. (User selectable.)
NORMAL OUT
Outputs a DC voltage that is proportional to the transducer normal force.
Scaling is ± 5.0 VDC = ± Full Scale Normal
COMMAND STRAIN
Outputs a DC voltage that is proportional to the actual motor defection.
HIGH V ENABLE
A relay contact closure that is used to enable the High Voltage amplifier of the ER
option.
FREQ RESPONSE
An input signal, defined using the TRIOS software, that can be sampled simultane-
ously with the Transducer Torque and Normal Force signals during an experiment.
Input scaling is ± 5 VDC.
DSP DAC
A general purpose ± 10-volt analog output for future use that is derived from a digital-
to-analog converter on the DSP board.
