  1. I'm a student and i try to configure POWER BRICK AC used in direct PWM mode. i know what are position loop, velocity loop and current loop, but: what is PHASE COMMUTATION of a motor in simple words? Why is essential close Phase commutation loop? And How a position feedback (quadrature encoder) can be used for a phase commutation loop as commutation feedback? understand what commutation loop means is important for me in order to configure commutation size. Sorry for the trivial question :-).
  2. Hi, I plane to Use Power Brick AC in antenna tracker application. Antenna, under wind action, has to work in 4 quadrant (as in Attachment). When Wind Force acting in the same direction of the motion, we have motor that works as generator with negative current (and negative torque). - IGBT-based drives inside Power Brick AC is capable to works in 4 quadrant ? - If yes, for power Brick Ac used in direct PWM (with output continuos current = 8A rms/axis), which is the negative current limit in continuous duty? - This negative current is dissipated or returned to the power supply? thanks for the answer Odoardo Palazzo
  3. HI, With Power Brick AC I want use different external analog signals as servofeedback in order to implement position following in different mode. If I acquire two analog signals in : ADC1 of connector X9. ADC1 of connector X10. is right do this? PTR ADC1X9 ->S.IO:$900028.16.16; PTR ADC1X10->S.IO:$900128.16.16; 1- Configuring two ECT entry for the two different analog signal ----------------------------------- EncTable[41].pEnc = ADC1X9; . . . . ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ EncTable[42].pEnc = ADC1X10; . . . . ------------------------------------ 2- To change analog servo feedback change only this command (using "pmatch") Motor[9].pMasterEnc = EncTable[41].a pmatch Motor[9].pMasterEnc = EncTable[42].a In power brick Ac user manual at page 58 is written: EncTable[41].pEnc = PowerBrick[0].Chan[0].AdcAmp[2].a; But the device in this way how can distinguish between ADC1X9 and ADC1X10?? Thanks for the reply.
  4. Good Morning With a Power Brick AC, I want do motor velocity control with a joystick. The correct steps are: 1 Using a PLC, put the raw ADC data through a cubic function. The ADC data can be found in the high 16 bits of PowerBrick[0].Chan[0].AdcAmp[2], for example. 2 Dump the result of the cubic into user buffer memory (e.g. in Sys.Ddata[1]). 3 Create an encoder conversion table (ECT) entry to integrate the result that's in user buffer. 4 Use the result of this ECT entry as the new master position of your follower. kindly, is possilbile to have a code example to perform this 4 steps? thanks in advance
  5. Hi, In Power Brick AC, I want read ADC conversion of PTC thermistor and implement a simple background PLC in order to stop operation when there is a motor overheating. After written a pointer, PTR Ch1PTC->PowerBrick[0].GpioData[0].24.1; // Channel 1 PTC Input, X1 PTR Ch2PTC->PowerBrick[0].GpioData[0].25.1; // Channel 2 PTC Input, X2 Which istruction allows me to read ADC value of PTC input?

  7. Thanks very much Richard!! I 'm trying now to set Position Following mode in "Normal" mode operation (MasterCtrl = 1) in order to follow external analog signal trajectory (My Autotracking mode). I undertand all about this. However I have some problems to understand how to set PMAC in order to use an analog joystick as a position command (My Manual Tracking mode). It was reccomended to use Position Following in "offset mode" ((MasterCtrl = 3), but how "offset mode" works? I read in PMAC manual that in "offset mode" : "reference position for programmed moves changes along with the following moves. In this mode, subsequent programmed moves are added on top of the position changes due to the following function. This permits the superimposition of programmed and following moves." But my purpose is: When My Manual tracking mode is enable, external analog signal trajectory is disable (My Autotracking mode is disable) and motors moving is commanded only with joystick. Thus, is correct changes from "position following Normal mode" to "position following offset mode" for my purpose?? Other questions is: In direct PWM mode i can use joystick as a velocity command as in application note in attachment?(and not as a position command)? If Yes how i have to change in PPMAC configuration? thanks in advance for your reply and Have a Nice Day Analog Joystick Application.pdf

  9. Thanks Charles , I understand this part with your help . Forgive me for the delay of my reply. I have another question. The current sensors of the motor phases for current loop feedback are integrated into the Power Brick AC, or not? thanks in advance for your reply and have a nice Weekend

  11. I don't have load econder feedback, but only motor encoder (perhaps the image has created some misunderstanding) and with position commands i want move motor. Idea is illustrated in the picture. However, if I have input Position Command that is external Analog Angular Position Commands, -for Azimuth Antenna position (0V --> 0 degree, 10V ---> 360 degree) -for Elevation Antenna position (0V ---> 0 degree, 10 V ---> 180 degree) I use ADC data for servo feedback and then point it to ECT entry. -Setting Motor[x].MasterCtrl = 1 (certainly introducing a gear ratio coefficient from motor to load setted in Motor[x].MasterPosSf) my azimuth/elevation motor follows Analog Position Command? in this way does not require the use of any motion programs!!! Unbelievable!!!! - if all is right this method can be used for external Analog Angular Position Commands (precomputed) and also for manual movement of antenna with Analog Joystick, using analog input of a PMAC as a position master, is correct? But an other thing i don't understand! page 44 of Power Brick Ac manual gives example for quadrature encoders settings ============================================================== EncTable[1].type = 1; // Single 32-bit read EncTable[1].pEnc = PowerBrick[0].Chan[0].ServoCapt.a; // Primary source, ch 1 Servo Capture EncTable[1].pEnc1 = Sys.Pushm; // Secondary source, none EncTable[1].index1 = 0; // left shift, none EncTable[1].index2 = 0; // right shift, none EncTable[1].index3 = 0; // EncTable[1].index4 = 0; // EncTable[1].ScaleFactor = 1 / 256; // Scale Factor, LSB location ============================================================== -I have to do quadrature encoder setting? or for my purpose i have to write only ADC data for servo-position feedback setting in order to use an External Analog Position command ? (Because it doesn't have to execute a motion program with a presetted trajectory, but only follows an external position command)

  13. Thank Charles for your valuable advice, I know that the training is the best way to learn and i want do it, but in order to get the scholarship for the training courses, I have to finish this project before!!! I only have one more questions: . Desired angular position of to motors to track antenna is an external analog information in degree (input of my PMAC). After ADC conversion of this external signal is a good technique use Motor[x].ProgJogPos method (in a loop with a refresh time) in order to move motors to a desired position? Because i don't have a predefined trajectory to perform, but the tracking of a target (UAV).

  15. Hi, I would implement control technique with Power Brick AC: I have two 3-phase Brushless Motors , but i'm a bit confused on which mode of operation (Motor Control Modes) takes and about different task perform by controller or Amplifier. The objective is to control two motors for moving an antenna (in Azimurh and Elevation), in antenna tracking application (UAV tracking), Where my input are: . Angular position (precomputed) of motors in order to follow antenna (external digital signal) --> Desired Position. . Quadrature encoder of two motors ----> Measured Position . Hall Current sensor from motors. . Maximum velocity that antenna has to reach (40°/s for both axes). I want that my output command of controller PMAC in pseudo-language is: Motor movement = Desired Position - Measured Position ====> in order to reach Desired Position Which mode of operation is suitable given my inputs? For example if i close only Position loop inside controller PMAC I perform Position servo loop setup/tuning. How should I handle velocity and current loop inside the amplifier? I have to perform loop setup/tuning also for velocity and current loop? Forgive me for my trivial question, but i'm new of Power PMAC devices Thank you for answer.

  17. Really nice, I'll get right to work. Thanks
  18. Hi, I'm new in the PowerPmac world, where can I find a simple program in order to start to learn? Thanks
