Analog Servo Drive S30A40AC

Description Power Range

Peak Current 30 A
The S30A40AC PWM servo drive is designed to drive
three phase brushless motors with sine wave current Continuous Current 15 ARMS
at a high switching frequency. The drive requires two
sinusoidal command signals with a 120-degree phase Supply Voltage 45 - 265 VAC
shift (external commutation). The phase angle must
correspond to the position of the motor rotor, while the
signal amplitude controls the motor torque. The
S30A40AC interfaces directly with digital controllers.
The drive is fully protected against over-voltage, over-
current, over-heating, and short-circuits, and requires
only a three-phase AC power supply. A red/green LED
and two digital outputs indicate operating status. All
signal inputs and outputs are optically isolated from
the power section to eliminate the need for a
transformer coupled power supply.

Tuning With Through-hole Components

In general, the drive will not need to be further tuned with through-hole components. However, for applications requiring more
precise tuning than what is offered by the potentiometers and dipswitches, the drive can be manually modified with through-hole
resistors and capacitors as denoted in the above table. By default, the through-hole locations are not populated when the drive is
shipped. Before attempting to add through-hole components to the board, consult the section on loop tuning in the installation
notes on the manufacturer’s website. Some general rules of thumb to follow when adding through-hole components are:
• A larger resistor value will increase the proportional gain, and therefore create a faster response time.
• A larger capacitor value will increase the integration time, and therefore create a slower response time.
Proper tuning using the through-hole components will require careful observation of the loop response on a digital oscilloscope to
find the optimal through-hole component values for the specific application.
