5.3 Connections Summary - Motor Amplifiers
The Navigator card supports three methods of output to motor amplifiers:
DAC
PWM sign-magnitude
PWM 50/50
Analog signals from the on-board D/A converters
Pulse-width modulated signals with separate
magnitude and sign signals per output phase.
Pulse-width modulated square-wave signals with a
single PWM signal per output phase
In addition, each motor axis may have 1, 2, or 3 output phases associated with it. For DC brush motors, the
number of phases is one, while for multi-phase motors such as brushless DC or microstepping motors, the
number of phases can be 2 or 3, depending on the output waveform programmed into the Navigator
motion processor. For more information, see the Navigator Motion Processor User’s Guide.
The tables on the following pages provide convenient summaries of amplifier connections for various
configurations of motor output method and motor type. These outputs should be connected from the
designated connector pins to the appropriate amplifier inputs. Note that the names of the pins may vary
among amplifiers. Common names are shown.
