120A10 Series 
DESCRIPTION: The 120A Series PWM servo amplifiers are designed to drive brush type DC motors at a high 
switching frequency. Single red/green LED indicates operating status. All models are fully protected against over-voltage, 
under-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”. 
SET-UP: See section “G” for engineering and installation notes. 
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. 
APPLICATION NOTE: 
See section “G” for more information on analog position loop mode. 
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, then turn clockwise to the appropriate value. If the desired limit is, for 
example, 60 amperes, and the servo amplifier’s peak current is 120 amperes, turn the potentiometer 7 turns 
clockwise from zero. 
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. Note that a command signal must be applied to the 
reference inputs to obtain a reading on P1-9. The maximum peak current value equals 7.25 V at this pin. If SW5 = 
ON, peak rated amplifier current = 7.25 V. If SW5 = OFF, 1/2 peak rated amplifier current = 7.25 V. Example: 
using the 120A10 with SW5 = ON, 120A = 7.25 V and with SW5 = OFF, 60A = 7.25 V. 
The actual current can be monitored at pin P1-8. 
The continuous current limit can be reduced without affecting the peak current limit by connecting an external 
current limiting resistor between P1-10 and P1-2. See table below. 
CURRENT LIMITING RESISTOR 40K 20K 3K 1K 0K 
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.
