3.4.4 Interface Circuits
This section shows examples of servo amplifier I/O signal connection to the host
controller.
Interface for Reference Input Circuits
Analog Input Circuit
Analog signals are either speed or torque reference signals at the impedance below.
• Speed reference input: About 14kΩ
• Torque reference input: About 14kΩ
The maximum allowable voltage for input signals is ±12V.
Reference Position Input Circuit
An output circuit for the reference pulse and error counter clear signal at the host
controller can be either line-driver or open-collector outputs. These are shown
below by type.
• Line-driver Output Example:
• Open-collector Output, Example 1: External power supply
