120A Series 
SERIES 120A SERVO AMPLIFIERS 
MODELS: 100A8, 100A6, 120A5 
FEATURES: 
* Surface-mount technology 
* Small size, low cost, ease of use 
* Optional input signal isolation for 
off-the-rectified 120 VAC line operation 
* DIP switch selectable: 
current, voltage, velocity, 
IR compensation, position loop control 
* Four quadrant regenerative operation 
DESCRIPTION: 120A Series PWM servo amplifiers are designed to drive brush type DC motors at a high switching 
frequency. Operating efficiency is 97%. Single red/green LED indicates operating status. All models are fully protected 
against over-voltage, over-current, over-heating and short-circuits across motor, ground and power leads. All models 
interface with digital controllers or can be used as a stand-alone drive. They require only a single unregulated DC power 
supply. Loop gain, current limit, input gain and offset can be adjusted using 14-turn potentiometers. The offset adjusting 
potentiometer can also be used as an on-board input signal for testing purposes when SW10 (DIP switch) is "On".

TEST POINTS FOR POTENTIOMETERS 
See section "G" 
PLUG-IN-AND-USE TEST MODE 
Advanced Motion Controls' 100A Series amplifiers can operate in a DIP switch selectable "Test Mode" to facilitate 
evaluation and installation (SW 1, 3, 10 = On; SW 2, 4, 7, 8, 9 = Off). This is "voltage amplifier mode" with on-board 
potentiometer adjustable reference. See section "G" for powering-up in test mode. 
OPTIONAL INPUT SIGNAL ISOLATION 
These amplifiers can be ordered with an internally installed analog isolation amplifier which optically isolates the inputs 
and inhibit lines from the remainder of the amplifier circuitry ("ISO" option). See block diagram on data sheet (page A-5). 
This optional input isolation facilitates off-the-rectified-line operation. Isolation is necessary in transformerless 
applications to isolate controller signal ground (often the same as earth ground) from DC power ground. The isolation 
option may also reduce system noise. This option is generally not required with isolated power supplies. 
OPERATING MODE SELECTION 
These modes can be selected by the DIP switches according to the chart in the functional block diagram: 
* Current Mode 
* Voltage Mode 
* IR Compensation Mode 
* Tachometer Mode 
See section "G" for more information. 
CURRENT LIMIT ADJUSTMENTS 
These amplifiers feature separate peak and continuous current limit adjustments. 
The current limit adjusting Pot 2 adjusts both peak and continuous current limit at the same time. It has 12 active turns 
plus 1 inactive turn at each end and is approximately linear. Thus, to adjust the current limit, turn the potentiometer 
counter-clockwise to zero (using ohmmeter), then turn clockwise to the appropriate value. Pin P1- 9 is the input to the 
internal current amplifier stage. Since the output current is proportional to P1- 9, the adjusted current limit can easily be 
observed at this pin. The maximum peak current value equals 7.5V at this pin. The actual current can be monitored at 
pin P1- 8. If the desired limit is, for example, 50 amperes, and the servo amplifier peak current is 100 amperes, turn the 
potentiometer 7 turns clockwise from zero. 
The continuous current limit can be reduced without affecting the peak current limit by connecting an external current 
limiting resistor R-lmt between P1-10 and P1- 2. See table below. 
CURRENT LIMITING RESISTOR 40K 20K 3K 1K 0 K 
CONTINUOUS CURRENT LIMIT 90% 80% 50% 30% 10%

SW6 (DIP switch) will reduce the continuous current limit to 50% of the maximum value, when switched "On". SW5 (DIP 
switch) will reduce the current feedback (monitor) scaling by 50%, thereby reducing both the peak and the continuous 
current limit by 50%, when switched "Off".

  • 6. 120A Series SW6 (DIP switch) will reduce the continuous current limit to 50% of the maximum value, when switched "On". SW5 (DIP switch) will reduce the current feedback (monitor) scaling by 50%, thereby reducing both the peak and the continuous current limit by 50%, when switched "Off".
