6.1   Use of AC servo motor
The system is equipped with the SA-SN terminals for controlling an AC servomotor or a vector inverter mo-
tor that can control torque.
The SA terminal can be connected to some servo amplifiers for the simultaneous multi-reel operation.
 
Provide the torque command input  of the servo amplifier with the following input.
During operation and during normal stop : Torque command SA of the tension controller
Emergency stop : Output from the  braking torque controller
 
Provide the speed limit input of the servo amplifier with the following input.
During operation and during normal stop : Upper speed limit setting
Emergency stop : Set the speed limit input to zero.
• For the setting, use the "ACTUATOR" screen within "SWITCH" on the initial setting screen or the engi-
neer screen.
• In servo mode, the control values of -100% to 100% correspond to the SA output of -5 to 5V.  In powder 
mode, the control values of 0 to 100% correspond to the SA output of 0 to 5V.  The powder mode is 
completely no problem if the torque is in one direction.

Setting and changing servo
amplifier parameters
With the servo-on input terminal turned 
off, turn on the servo amplifier power 
supply.  Change the settings of the 
following parameters .
• Put the servo loop in torque mode .
• Set the system so that the servo 
motor output torque is equal to the 
rated torque when the  5V torque 
command is issued.
For more details of the wiring and 
setting, observe the servo amplifier 
instruction manual .
Handling of servo motor
Basic operation check
• Use the upper speed controller to set the speed limit 
input.  Enter the torque command while the tension 
controller is in the manual operation . Then , check if 
the motor rotates in the correct direction .  Note, 
however, that the unwinding motor rotates in the 
correct direction when it reverses , because the 
material during the unwinding operation pulls it .
• Check that the output torque is adjustable manually to 
produce the specified torque even when paper is 
running through the system .
In the manual operation , however , the dial readings of 
zero to 10 on the manual torque controller correspond 
to the output of 0 to 5 V in the manual operation .
