Uni-directional Speed Setpoint 
This connection provides a Uni-Directional Speed Setpoint for non-reversing applications and the 2 Quadrant 
controller (591+): 
Maximum forward speed setpoint (+100%)  =  Terminal B3, +10V input 
Zero speed setpoint (0%)      =  Terminal B1, 0V input 
Thus, zero speed is at the left (anti-clockwise) position on the potentiometer. 
Bi-directional Speed Setpoint 
Alternatively, substitute A1 for terminal B4 to scale the input such that: 
Maximum forward speed setpoint (+100%)   =  Terminal B3, +10V input 
Maximum reverse speed setpoint (-100%)  =  Terminal B4, -10V input 
Thus, zero speed demand is at the centre position on the potentiometer.

In both cases, the Current Limit is controlled via terminal A6 (ANIN5). 
NOTE   Terminals A1, B1 and C1 (Signal 0V) are the common reference points for all analog signals used 
in the drive.
