PAU-S1 The PAU-S1 is a high power, brush-type PWM servo amplifier in a 6U Eurocard form factor. Control can come from an analog (±10V) command, or digital Magnitude and Direction signals. This multi-purpose amplifier contains both Velocity and Torque feedback loops. Inputs are provided to allow tachometer feedback in the Velocity Mode. The Torque Mode can be used for torque control applications, or in conjunction with a digital servo controller capable of computing Position and Velocity loop values. The Torque Mode can also be used for feedback in the Velocity Mode, with or without a position controller. The high switching frequency of the PAU-S1 allows the amplifier to drive very low inductance loads.

The PAU-S1 has Under Bias Voltage shutdown as well as Over Current, Over Voltage, and Over Temperature protection. Fault conditions are reported digitally to the controller connections, and indicated visually by front panel LEDs.

An optional backplane is available to allow quick and easy access to motor, power, control and other I/O signals. This greatly simplifies implementing the PAU-S1 in a motion control system.
