Current Drive

The current drive generates a current I, which is proportional to the input voltage, V, with a gain of Ka, a
torque constant of K

t

, and inertia J. The resulting transfer function in this case is:

P/V = K

For example, a current amplifier with K

a

= 2 A/V with the motor described by the previous example will

have the transfer function:

P/V = 1000/s

Encoder

The encoder generates N pulses per revolution. It outputs two signals, Channel A and B, which are in
quadrature. Due to the quadrature relationship between the encoder channels, the position resolution is
increased to 4N quadrature counts/rev.

The model of the encoder can be represented by a gain of:

K

f

= 4N/2

π [count/rad]

For example, a 1000 lines/rev encoder is modeled as:

K

f

= 638

DAC

The DAC or D-to-A converter converts a 16-bit number to an analog voltage. The input range of the
numbers is 65538and the output voltage range is +/-10V or 20V. Therefore, the effective gain of the DAC
is:

K= 20/65538 = 0.000305 [V/count]
