20.2 Analog Speed Command Interface
20.2.1 Introduction
For the operation of analog axes and spindles, the position controller is located in the MC, the
speed and current controller in the servo amplifier.
The "result" of the position control is transferred to the analog servo amplifier via the ± 10 V
speed command interface.
For analog drives DC motors are often used.
Analog speed value
outputs
Following analog speed command outputs are located on the MC 42x (B/C):
îš„ X8
îš„ X9
On each of these D-Sub connectors there are several analog channels.
Assignment of the
speed value
outputs
MP 100 is read from the right to the left and contains the information which axis is the first, the
second, the third axis, etc.
