Carriage Motor Excitation System
The carriage motor is controlled by the carriage motor constant current drive circuit. The phases of
the carriage motor are controlled by
CRA
-
CRD
of the gate array
(IC3A:
E05A 15GA). Two drive systems,
2-2 phase and 1-2 phase excitation, are used. Because the carriage motor has one driving transistor
per winding
(unipolar drive), two drivers become active in the 2-2 phase excitation system and one and
two drivers become active alternately in the 1-2 phase excitation system. Figure 2-37 shows the carriage
motor drive sequences.
