2-10  Product Overview   
DC590+ Series DC Digital Drive 
Control Features 
 
Control 
Control Circuits    Fully isolated from power circuit (SELV) 
 
Output Control 
•  Fully controlled 3-phase thyristor bridge 
•  Microprocessor implemented phase control extended firing range 
•  For use on 50 or 60Hz supplies with a frequency compliance range of 45 to 65Hz 
•  Phase control circuits are phase rotation insensitive 
 
Control Action 
•  Fully digital 
•  Advanced PI with fully adaptive current loops for optimum dynamic performance 
•  Self Tuning Current Loop utilising "Autotune" algorithm 
•  Adjustable speed PI with integral defeat 
 
Speed Control 
•  By Armature Voltage feedback with IR compensation 
•  By Encoder feedback or analog tachogenerator 
 
Speed Range    100 to 1 typical with tachogenerator feedback 
 
Steady State Accuracy 
 
•  0.01 %  Encoder Feedback with Digital setpoint (serial link or P3) 
•  0.1 %   Analog Tach Feedback 
•  2 %     Voltage Feedback 
•  Absolute (0.0% error) using QUADRALOC Mk II 5720 Digital Controller 
NOTE   Long term analog accuracy is subject to tachogenerator temperature stability.
 
 
Adjustments   
All adjustments in software can be altered by 
the Keypad or via serial communications. The Keypad provides monitoring and adjustment of parameters and levels, 
in addition to diagnostic facilities.
