BLU-S1

The BLU-S1 is a low power brushless linear servo amplifier in a Eurocard 3U form factor. It is ideally suited to high precision positioning applications or if electrical noise and excess motor heating cannot be tolerated, or when low inertia/low inductance loads must be driven. This amplifier can be configured for External Sinusoidal commutation or for self commutation using Digital Hall effect sensors.

The BLU-S1 is a single card unit with a small plug in Personality Component Carrier to allow customized component changes for the peak current, gain, and integration factors. Hall effect commutation or external sinusoidal commutation is jumper selectable. When using external sinusoidal commutation, the amplifier recieves two 120° out of phase sinusoidal command inputs. The optimal third phase is derived by the amplifier. This eliminates "cogging" and greatly enhances low speed operation. An optional backplane is available to allow quick and easy access to motor, power, control and other I/O signals.
