To connect a potentiometer to the input of the Servo Controller, you will need to provide a 10 VDC
reference and 15 VDC power supply. The 10 volt DC and negative references can be shared by all of
the potentiometers attached to a Servo Controller. Its current requirements are minimal, since about the
only current flow is that through the potentiometers. The same 15 volt DC supply that powers the 10 volt
reference can also be used to power the Servo Controller through one or more of the Ô
15 Volt DC SupplyÕ
input pins.
When using direct potentiometer inputs to the Servo Controller, the pot must travel all or nearly all of
its stroke. If it doesnÕt, or you canÕt get all of the stroke you need on the servos, a Joystick Amp may be
needed. A Joystick Amplifier or the output from a PC¥MACs Animation Control System will provide all of
the voltage references and power supplies needed by the Servo Controller.
